yah, also if it's wifi, what are you going to do if there is no wifi connection? and if it's bluetooth, then im not sure if BT can handle that much data...? maybe for still pictures and time lapse it might work. wat if you have more than one gopro? how are you going to monitor both?

i think the best approach is to get the bacpac LCD for quick setup/confirmation + composite cable and hook up to an external LCD device as needed. you can buy cheap 3.5" ~ 4.3" LCD's for rearview cameras on amazon for like $30 if you dont have a HU with LCD. just plug in, setup your camera, remove cable and lcd and toss it in your gig bag.

Is that a Gallardo beside your Z??
Nope those are TF3 Bumble Bees. From right to left they are how they placed in the judging. 3-4-5. In our class of about 45 cars.

but the height and angle was too low for my preference, so i raised it 3cm and spot-metering at the top of the 3 gauges/hood. will try this weekend. if the roads are still washed out, i will take out one of the collars to make it 2cm and so on.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of my big clients look like they've been pulled right off the street. Proof again that you can never judge a book by its cover!

got this thing for f-day (one of several things) and it's really handy to hold little bits like mics and stuff on tripod.

originally made for holding smart phones but doesnt work well with my Droid4. once i clamp down, the screen thinks im pressing the area. but for holding mics
