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. |

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.

here's the latest on my gopro mount. i got rid of the universal joint cause it was just a pita setting it up each time i accidentally bumped it. in this pict it's using three 1cm thick collars inside the DiNoc. ive been using 4cm from the headrest bar to the bottom of the gopro tripod mount (passenger seat reclined 5 clicks), but it's not letting in enough light to reduce exposure on sunny days even with spot-metering turned on (roads appear washed out) pointing at the top of the 3 gauges/hood; so over the weekend i took off all 4 collars to see if that helped... and it did. 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!
