Good videos.

I have a few suggestion on making your videos more fun to watch:

Mount your camera higher, then point it down a little so we can see the track in front of the car.

Zoom in a little so more of the video is showing track rather than your seatback and side pillars and center console. Seeing the shifter and steering wheel is cool, but there's lots more of the screen that's just dark shadow not showing anything.

Can you shrink the data logger banner a little? It would still be easy to read if it were a little smaller and then show more track.

At speed, the microphone is distorting from too much input from moving air. Maybe a piece of cloth over or directly in front of the mic would help?

Stretch to 16:9 format if it will let you, so you use the sides of the screen. If you do this, you can mount the camera where the passenger's head would be, then the panoramic effect shows you steering, shifting, and track, but not dash and headliner.

Please, please, plase hook up your tach lead. Seems like you could make the system still temporary mount in the cabin, but with permanent mount tach lead coming from back of gauge cluster or even under hood. It helps us figure out how hard you are pushing through certain sections.

Again, very cool videos!

Thanks,

-Phim
