K1 speed

ilive2win

so over the weekend a few of my friends, fiance and I went to k1 speed for my birthday in sd. i took the gopro to test it out since i just got it. i mounted it in various places on the car and my helmet to get a bunch of ngles, so obviously you just see me racing against everyone else. we had a blast and i set best time of the day that day haha anyways if this thread needs to be moved please do so. i just thought it was a good place to put it since it is on the track

I have frequented Miramar speed circuit, but have not been to K1 yet. Looks good, Happy belated b-day!

Scott @ RA

Miramar Speed Circuit is better than K1 for sure. Been to both.
I would be interested in helping out if someone wanted to set up a meet there or an event or something...

ilive2win

wow man, that's amazing. I'm going to try out my go pro first time in about two week at NJMP Karting. I kart regularly here at NJMP. It's the outdoor track.

So, few questions

a. Did you use suction mount on the helmet?

b. The video editing was great and you were able to retain full screen 720p. What software did you end up using?

Karting is so much fun! I can Kart all day!

thanks ak! if i were atill over there in nj i would have to challenge you. haha my dad still lives over there . you should try to get him to go with you and beat him bad since he drives a cobalt ss s/c haha

a. i did not us the suction cup mount. i used one of the curved double sided sticky tape mount and the 2 extensions that came with the gopro. i can take a pic of it on the helmet if you would like. i did use the suction cup mount to mount the gopro onto the gokart itself though.

b. im using sony vegas platinum 9 and render the video in 720p hd format to keep it in hd form. it was only my second time using the program ever and thought it couldve came out better but im still learning.

thank you for helping me out again ak, you were a huge help and ill take a pic of the helmet mount for you

ilive2win

here you go ak. you can see the double sided taped mount (curved) mounted on the helmet. i also used the extension arms used that were included with the gopro motorsports

AK370Z

You're welcome. I am going to check out the Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Edition software. Looks like it'll do the job for me too.

Thanks

EDIT: THanks for the pictures. I'm going to mount the camera right now on to my helmet!

Sweet,

So that was 720p at 60 Frames/sec? or 1080 At 30?

I just got one myself and have been trying out different settings.

ilive2win

i had the settings at 720p @60fps. i found this to be the perfect size file. 1080 looks good but the file size is huge. plus slow mo looks cool at 60 fps

if you need help with anything, ill do my best to point you in the right direction or ak can help a lot. he helped me which was a huge help. just have fun with it. cant wait to see some of you videos!

LOL at 3:40 the dude flipping you off after you pass.... also the music is perfect at that point.

I thought they put you in racing suits at K1?

ilive2win

you were the first one to catch that! i have to show everyone and then feel like a dumba** lol. i did that on purpose cuz it went with the music so well.

no race suits, just helmet.

AK370Z

wait, he is NOT one of your friend? just random guy giving you the finger? I think he was pissed because of the contact at 3:29! Oh well, too bad. Karting = contact in corners = totally normal . If I'm ever in CA, I'll give you run for your money in Karting .
