• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What is a "fisheye" lense? The video just looked a little narrow on the player ... Maybe it was because of the player being small because I opened the player up to full screen and it looked better ... I am getting closer to a recorder of some sort and this ContourHDwas one I was looking at maybe ...

a 'fisheye' lens makes everything look like you're looking through a glass bubble, way more distorted than the edge distortion i'm referring to. the fisheye effect is so pronounced that sometimes you will see black edges defining the image as a circle... like this ... here is a nice wide example with a partial effect here

on cameras, a lot of people like the GoPro but i don't like the size of it. the ContourHD is nice and small, fits great on the side of your helmet, don't even know it's there. i bought it used with a bunch of mounts so the price was right to try it out but ive only filmed this trail ride and one supermoto ride that i never edited.

the HD version of this little vid looks sweet on my widescreen TV so the quality is there. mine is the older model too.

Good examples ... probably the fish eye I noticed .... I'm not a fan of the big camera on my head either ...

I've noticed on my GoPro, because it is a "wide angle" lense that the trail looks a little more narrow than it is. Not a big deal, just saying. We ride tight woods too, usually 32"-40" wide. Camera makes it look like a rabbit trail. LOL
