Bahrain Test Run

Bahrain is a small island in the Arabian Gulf measuring 55km (34 mi) long by 18km (11mi) wide. The perfect place to test filming and uploading footage recorded using a handlebar mounted camera.

The footage below was recorded during a 3.5 hour cycle from the northernmost to the southernmost tip of Bahrain Island. The camera used for the test run was a GoPro HD HERO borrowed from Chris, a friend from work.
