Be sure to wear your Rainpal so there's video of the event.

Maybe he's a tax inspector.

Come BCF BBQ, we can all gather round the campfire and watch the real video of the true incident that actually happened. I'll apologise in person, it'll be really humiliating for me.


No, but we *will* meet. I'll be making sure of it, promise. You also won't like it. Promise that as well.


Threats of violence at bbq? Do us all a favour and don't bother going.

He's the one that keeps asking me to go to the BBQ, I've already said I won't be going, do keep up. I've tried to ignore him, but every fucking time he pops up, spouting the same bullshit, and quite frankly, I'm sick of him. However, I'll deal with him elsewhere, assuming he actually has a spine. I *get* it isn't the place. I got it before he started his shit.

Bad news, I'm a gutless coward. That's why I feel so alarmed and distressed by the menacing nature of these communications.

Pro-tip regarding ignoring.

I reckon I'll let the matter lie.

Posting a link to the video would solve this issue quite quickly.

My whole issue with the cockholster is that he's attempting (emphasis on attempt) to bully me into something I have zero intention of doing. It's not happening, and he can baaawwww about it as much as he likes. He's an adult, he's made his bed, he can lie in it. And yes, I'm a stubborn prick.

It states in your welcome pack that you're expected to deliver (goto page 10).

That would be truly hypnotic, and mildly arousing.

Long over due bump.

Anyway I finally bothered to get an external USB power supply. So I'm using the other rear hatch that has a hole in the back for the USB to go into?

How would you go about water proofing it? I'm thinking of just covering it with clear bathroom silicone and peeling it off should there be a need to access the micro SD card or whatever.

Any better ideas?

Thanks

I don't know if it work with the anatomy of a drift HD, but would it be feasible to drill a hole in a spare back and epoxy a charging cable into it? Not sure I would trust silicone to hold it in on the bike or the vibrations not to break off the end of the cable. The back would give it a bit of support (plus being an easier change between power pack and normal back).

Also worth considering that some silicone sealants release acetic acid as they cure. Your plastics likely won't care, but I wouldn't want that too near the open electronical ports. You'll want one of them fancy neutral sealants.

It comes with a closed sealed water proof hatch and a spare hatch which has holes in it for USB and microphone. So no need to drill. It does say on the inside of the hatch with holes this is not water proof. So it'll need some sealing anyway even without drilling.

Dropping your capture speed from 60 to 30fps will double or even quad-ripple your battery life.

It could also be that your cells have diminished over time. Like with all batteries they gradually lose the ability to retain a charge.

I haven't noticed any degradation with my 1700mah drift cells yet. At 1080p 30fps I get over 3 hours battery life Using Drift-ghost-S on a single battery, 4 hours using 720p.
