Trip Report / Photo Submission Thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f100...-ec4rj-255261/



------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am gonna organize the Yotatech event this year again to coincide with the EC4RJ for the third time at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park.

PM's will be taken to collect phone numbers/CB handles closer to the date of the event. And unless anyone objects will be shared with the rest of the group. Please RSVP to this using the forums to make it easier on myself to send out pm's so I don't miss anybody.

Ya all got more then 4 months to get your junk in working order.

Please make sure you meet the rules and regulations of the park. If you don't, it will look bad on our group. The first year we had one guy not have a tow strap and only chains with hooks. Must have tow rope with loops and not hooks. The rest of the park rules are listed below.

Drinking on the trails of anything other than non-alcohol will not be tolerated nor will drug use. Alcohol at the end of the day while camping is ok. Under no circumstances will I tolerate drug use. As well as mandatory seat belt usage while on the trails. This means driver and passengers. I had several problems with one of the members the first year and I will not allow them to be a part of our our group.

Group Name for event will once again be YOTATECH.
And all makes and models will be welcome. Non-Toyota guys just be ready for some talking.

I will be at the park early Friday Night for camping at the park as usual. And barring any catastrophic failure of my truck will also be wheeling on Sunday like I always do. If they do the free 1/2 day wheeling/trail cutting on Sunday, I will be doing that as well. Anyone in the groups is welcome to join me to help the park out for half the day and then wheel for free the second half.

Tentative CB channel will be channel 34 at the park. I will be traveling down there on 19 though. My handle will be EXTREME.

with any luck, i'll be able to do that hill this year.

maybe.

xxxtreme22r

Yeah I wanna do Yellowjacket this year, but I am going to need an extremely good spotter. Lumpy, hint hint. lol.

toyospearo

I'd be there if it wasn't 2000 miles away. I am just sayin.

xxxtreme22r

dam! you be swaggin!

i got a contour roam, so if you want some 1080 video for this year...

xxxtreme22r

Thanks. First time using Adobe After Effects. It was a project file I got on the net but had to do quite a bit to modify it. I probably coulda done better with the logo at the end though. Now to do 2010's run. As much as I hate looking at my truck that year with the crappy flatbed on it. lol.

RBX

^^^ that was so cool. can't wait to get home and watch it in glorious 1080 on my 52". I can bring a portable tascam dr-1( stereo digital audio) if you want.

xxxtreme22r

Yeah that would be cool. I don't think we get enough video footage in these runs. I don't know if it's because it slows us down or what....

Youtube ruined the quality some on the optical flares, but it's not that bad. I did have to blow up the 1024 x 768 photos to 1920 and crop then down to 1080 height which affected the photo quality some as well. Would have been better if I had the high res photos.

It took 2 hours to render that video as well. But I am only working off of 4 gig ram (only used 2 during processing. And a 2.5 Ghz dual core AMD. OpenGl processing didn't like the end logo and kept blue screening me so I had to use all processor.

Wait that DR-1 s only audio right? If Ian has that HD video camera, I think that would be all we would need.

I tried using Sony Vegas which I think is better then AE but interface was a little odd.

it would be neat if we had video from afar and audio from close-by. or the other way around.

i did take video yesterday of my commute, and the quality is pretty impressive. i have to try a few different angles sometime

xxxtreme22r

I'd so love to get me a Go-Pro setup.

Edit, wow talk abut off-topic...kinda. Maybe I shoulda started a new thread. lol.

RBX

Yes the DR-1 is only audio.
