Chris is that Devens?? I did an SVTOA autox event there once. We were hitting top of 3rd in the slalom!

Yep! The old SVTOA courses were the best, I remember hitting near the top of 3rd gear in the G35 on plain old tires, who knows how fast the race tire guys were going. My buddy in his Lightning did a 360 at 80 mph and stayed on course! SVTOA is now NE-SVT but we still build some pretty good courses, just not quite as fast anymore, LOL. Now we try to build the courses so that they have a good flow at a speed that will be in the power band for most cars. You might get into 3rd gear in a couple of places but it's not like the old days.

It was so fun man, guy took me out in an Ariel Atom 2 SC at that event and I wouldve crapped my pants if it hadnt been for the G forces.

How do you guys know when the camera is level? Do you all have the little backpack ldc thing?

Too expensive at $79, picked up a portable 7" lcd portable monitor from local giant electronics chain for $59. Will be testing it out this Sat on my Feather River Run.

The BacPac is worth the cost because it makes the camera so much easier to use and provides a playback screen which is attached to the camera.

I bought the LCDback and love it. Really makes the GoPro more usable.

Here's what I managed to do during my autox last weekend. This was my fourth run and I was getting frustrated that my buddy kept throwing down incredible times. I figured I'd 'go for it' and this was near the top of 2nd gear. the car started to drift but it felt very controllable so I figured 'what the hell, ride it out'. Well, a very slow slalom was fast approaching and I couldn't get out of the drift without screwing it all up. Ended up holding my corrections too long. One might argue I was distracted by the giddy laughter of my passenger!

Second video is of the most incredible save (obviously not me). I watch it over and over...mesmerizing and something to strive for.

Too small of a screen IMO for the price.

Just got one of these. Thanks for the post AK, your tips will come in handy. I can't wait to try this. Now all I need is more stuff to do.

cereal2k · 07-20-2011, 11:23 PM

So I'll be rocking this for the next North GA mountain.

Pictures --
->

Location: head strap
Video setting: 720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
Frames: 30
Backlid: open with extended case for the extra battery pack (5hr recording time).
Impression: Awesome. Just like being there with an "in game" feeling.
Head mount test in the burbs. Done in the evening to not too many strange looks.The hard top is put down at the start for more light with the evening approaching and for more audio from the intakes and exhaust and headrest speakers. I had to have the headstrap up at an angle somewhat since I have the extended case for the extra battery. Still captures the windshield view and the cockpit/wheel/dash area.

YouTube Video embed:
The vid should be 15 minutes and should play out while embedded, but you may only get 7 minutes from my youtube page. Dunno why, but I'll likely re-upload it.

What do you guys think?

Got my GoPro HD today! Now I just gotta go play with it

Skeeterbop · 09-24-2011, 12:28 AM

Mounted on the lip of the front bumper, i'm finding the closer i get to the ground the "faster" it feels. Tried mounting on the hood at the base of the window as well but didn't like it enough to upload.

^ Fixed

N8GTOL · 09-24-2011, 01:51 AM

hdskull - where in SD was this filmed? I grew up here but it doesn't look familiar.

Also, I'm in the UTC area and would like to hear the FI catback you have if you wanted to meet up.

Gungrave · 10-11-2011, 08:51 PM

So umm....just a quick question. Am I the only one that uses the ContourHD instead of the Go Pro? I only use it from inside though, so not trying to accidently lose it lol
