LOL I'd have to have one that recorded so I could check it later! If it was steep or off-camber enough that I wondered how much it was I would probably be too worried about tipping over to look at a gauge.

Humor aside, I have seen some people's videos that were synced with (I think) their phone or GPS to show speed, and I think incline info too. If I remember correctly, it had to be put together in the computer for syncing. Do some searching on that... I'll dig around a bit.

 

LOL Agree there Denver---I have to focus on the trail to stay on the trail most of of the time---LOL--I just got a GoPro Setup and mounted it on my helmet. So was looking for some sort of reference to when I do video my trips-I can see how the RZR/trails interacted---LOL so your were correct--I would probably only look reatime at it when I parked on an incline----LOL
Thanks

 

Ride Command should have one built in, right after they figure out Group Rides.

 

In the Google Play store (Android apps) search "inclinometer app". Lots of good ones, you'll just need to get a RAM mount for your phone so it stays in one position. The "Roll Me Over" app sounds good.

eBay has both glass and ball inclinometers like a trailer has, and little digital box ones...

I tried a helmet mounted cam. Too much roof and dashboard, and I turn my head too much and too fast. Got the Polaris DVR mirror for video and a cam pivoting mounted to roll cage for snapshots.

When i first bought our rzr I thought about getting a basic stick on one ( fluid filled tube with a ball bearing type) and then put the rzr on its side to get the tipping point ( with wife in the drivers seat) then mark the roll over point. Never did it though.

 

I had one in my Jeep. Not very useful, because when things got steep, it was the last thing I was looking at! Too busy watching the trail and picking my line! Seriously.

 

^^^THIS^^^ Learn to feel what your machine is doing. Looking at some erroneous gauge while navigating a tough section will get you or your machine hurt.

 

Helmet cam will suck in your sxs. First recording you're really gonna see how much your head bounces around. Even with the newer ones, the stability features just won't be able to keep up with head movement.

 

Thanks for the replys.
I'm going to try the Phone apps first since they are free or real cheap and see. If not ill try one of the dedicated ones I see for abt 25 bucks on the Internet. Have to figure how to mount the phone so I can see it from my Helmet cam. Looking to get reference on how steep the trail hills are that I travel on with the cam. On the first vid I did in the RZR I could see the speedo pretty good and the tablet tracking my route sometimes. Some folks brought up concentrating on the trail--LOL that's one of the reasons I got the cam (and for my Motorcycle). So I can go back over and see the scenery I missed concentrating on the trails in my area. Lots of the time I'm so focused on the trails that I miss some pretty cool views. Also I picked up a GoPro Hero 7 Silver and am very pleased so far with the way it works and how stable the vid is I have taken so far on the trails. Will be a fun toy to work with in the RZR.
Ride safe and Enjoy the new Year!

 

I put a cheap one in my xp4 900 a couple of months back. I like it . It is a very good learning tool. Start out on slopes that are not high. Move up the steepness of the slope {going across the slope} while you watch your clinometer and you up hill front tire. Your up hill tire will start to bounce and get light as you reach your tip point. Since you are not to high up, if you do start to roll over, turn down hill and try to catch it to prevent the roll over. If you do roll over, you will probably just be on your side with little to no damage.

This practice will give your brain practice to read the slope when you are 1000 plus feet about tree line and you have to be right in your driving. My rzr seems to be pretty stable at 30 to 35 degrees. It has been raining a lot, but when things dry out I will start using this to push 40 degrees or until i have to catch it , or put it on its side.

The terrain, size of your tires, lift, how weight and distribution of that weight is in you rzr will all be moving factors every time you get on a slope..

If any others have experience on when their rzr will roll over, I would like their input with that information.

 

I'm trying to understand the use of these. What are they for ? How do they benefit you when using.

 

I see it as gee-whiz info, knowing the approximate angle of tilt when a particular machine will tip over, rather than a gut feeling of "Oh shiz, nap time, hope I don't break all the plastic". Like the difference between reading your speedo or using your GPS for a speed run.
Personal preference.

I made my own and create the videos using dashware to overlay data onto the video. Here are a couple samples

Hi Ken,
can you let me know what the examples are named under youtube so I can view them? I cant get video to work for me when I'm on this site usually all I get is blank space where people put the link and I usually hunt for it on youtube.
Thanks,
Ron

 

iron chest close call is the first
moab - frenchys fin on fins n things - doesnt look possible but it is is the second

 

Now that is interesting-----when I quoted you in my reply--the links showed up in my quote and work--. Strange quirk---I will try it on future ones also----.
Thanks
Ron

 

I'm not sure I see the usefulness of the inclinometer, but you can download it for an Ipad from the app store. I do use one for other things and have even set up propeller pitch on aircraft with it in an emergency. They work, but I think for our riding it won't help much.

 

Wives and girlfriend passengers make good clinometers. You just have to calibrate for a screamer, or a get-quiet model. Occasionally you'll run into a hybrid.

 

Lol,no shit!
