GoPro WiFi kit and remote + LCD bacpac
After the long wait I finally got the GoPro Hero2 LCD bacpac. Not only that, I also got the WiFi and remote kit!
The LCD bacpac makes it easier to compose and preview shots on the camera. This makes my GoPro just like a smaller, compact full HD video camcorder.
The WiFi and remote kit is the accessory that blows my mind. According to the specs sheet the WiFi remote can:
- Control up to 50 cameras at a time from up to 600’/180m in optimal conditions
- Enjoy full camera control, including On/Off, Shutter and Settings control
- LCD screen mirrors your camera’s LCD status screen
- Attachment strap, key ring, and charging cable included
- Wearable and waterproof to 10’/3m
The Wi-Fi BacPac attaches to your GoPro camera, enabling long range remote control (600’/180m in optimal conditions) when used with the Wi-Fi Remote. To Wi-Fi enable multiple GoPro cameras, Wi-Fi BacPacs can be purchased individually.
I was also able to use my iPad as a camera controller with the full preview of what I’m shooting! All it took was installing the free GoPro app downloadable from the iTunes store and voila! Instant Scorcese/Jerry Bruckheimer/Steven Spielberg!
Here’s a demo video of the GoPro remote and WiFi kit.
Ducati Monster Day 2012
Ducati Monster Day, October 13, 2012, Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City.
2012 is the 20th Anniversary of the Ducati Monster-the best of all naked bikes. Miguel Angel Galluzzi, designer of the Ducati Monster said: “All you need is a saddle, tank, engine, two wheels and a handlebar. His minimalist design is both aesthetically appealing and structurally efficient. (Ducati Website)
It was my first time to attend a Ducati Philippines event. I am definitely looking forward to future Ducati gigs! I left Quezon City at around 3PM and arrived at BGC around 3:30PM. Traffic along EDSA was moving almost at a glacial pace in Cubao. Splitting lanes was almost made impossible with all the cashew nut and cigarette vendors!
It was so nice to see so many Ducati and Ducatisti in one place!
The group rode around BGC after a short assembly. I mounted my GoPro camera on my helmet and recorded the motorcade. The sound of screeching tires, roaring engines and clacking of the Ducati dry clutch all together was like a symphony orchestra playing a motorcycle rhapsody.
Here’s a a short video clip of the assembly.
After short ride around BGC it was time for drinks and fellowship.
All lined up after the motorcade.
Awards for the day.
There was also a post-ride raffle but too bad I could not hang out for long. I saw Alpine Stars gloves and a Suomy helmet up for grabs.
Bugsy’s packed with bikers.
Met new friends who were very passionate about bikes. I hope I could get to go ride with them on the track or even on a breakfast trip, schedule permitting.
The Bear on the Trails of Corregidor
Bearwin Meily a.k.a. The Bear Vlogs while running (fast!) on the trails of Corregidor during the Corregidor International Half-Marathon.
At the time the video was taken, he was around the 9KM mark. He was way ahead of the 10km curfew of 1:45.
He finished the 21km race in 1:55:44 (5:30 min/km pace), crossing as the 25th (male) and 26th (overall) runner.
CIHM: Session Road with Miro of Stonefree
After they raced in the Corregidor International Half-Marathon Session Road and Miro roked the Rock during the event’s Victory Party.
It was raining until 9pm so we started the party a little later than scheduled.
Tranvias parked beside the stage made the experience even more interesting.

Dream Marathon Day.
I was not running the event but I felt so excited. It was a shooting day for me so I packed my cameras and some spare lenses. Indiscriminate shooting all morning.
Congratulations to all finishers, Dream Chasers, Marshals and the Dream Team!

About
Raymund G. Martelino
“Self-assured and multi-talented, it is easy to see why he is often misunderstood. He succeeds where others falter. While most of us procrastinate, he gets his tasks done. And he makes sure he does them well. While most of us panic, he stays cool. And he finds means to calm our frantic souls. When most of us shut up, he speaks up. And he almost always makes perfect sense. For this he may strike some as over rational and void of emotions. But believe it or not, he isn’t. He cares deeply for those whom he considers friends, willing to go to great lengths for them. This may not always be apparent, though. After all, he is and will continue to be a mystery even to those who are closest to him. But then again it is precisely this that makes him the disarmingly endearing person that he really is. A shot at love, a picture perfect family, a passion for football and running, a gift for music, an eye for photography, a genuine concern for others, an above average intellect, an intact set of principles, a pure understanding of who he is and who he should be — some guys just got lucky.”
