I got the V.I.O POV.1 I love it it's rather expensive much more then the go pro, but I saw someone with it snowboarding on their helmet...Lets just Say I'm happy I stuck with my decision, I love it quality is awesome it's tiny and it's very versatile

I saw the Go Pro Hero in issue 72 of AutoSalon... ...Think this might be the one I get... ...It seems to also be the only unit in the market that is Mac compatible...

Just a few things keeping me back... ...It says it can only have 2Gb SD cards... ...I've got a few 8Gb SD cards lying around since I changed to a Sony "happy snapper" and had to invest in new cards... ...It seems to only run off batteries... ...I'd like to see a lighter plug power version... ...No "Shock Record" with leading buffer... ...If you're out in the street and happen to be in an accident it would be great if it could start recording with a few minutes pre-recorded before the accident...

There was a duel camera setup (outside and inside the car) a few issues ago in AutoSalon that had the features that I want... ...However it isn't Mac compatible... ...So no go for me...

If the little Hero could take bigger cards and record longer with bigger cards... ...then I would get it...

I think they have a newer model which can read the larger SD cards now, something they didn't tell me when they sold me my Hero off the shelf... probably getting rid of old stock and it was more expensive than if I bought it from Lucas. Oh well.

Picture quality is 'okay' for the price, but I wasn't happy with the sound or the vibration (which I fixed by wrapping gaffa tape around it, I know this isn't hard to do, but another process all the same).

Look closely at the picture (when all is still) and you will see a heat like warp in the picture, sometimes its much worse and I think its electrical interference

Still haven't bought a mount yet... I really want to get one for PI. The clamp style is my preference to clamp onto my half cage. It's a pity there is no one locally who makes one..

Instead of making a new thread... ...I'm going to Bump this one...

I got me a Go Pro Hero Wide MotorSport kit... ...I ordered it from the U.S. and it arrived yesterday... ...It will be coming out on the next cruise for sure...

I use a VIO POV helmet camera which came with a mount which holds the tiny camera on with really strong magnets. Quality is ok. Here is a pic of it on my roof.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
