Well worth the money.

If I have any money whatsoever left over I am buying one of these POVVO things this year.

You couldn't give me 5 GoPro's in its place, I wanted to throw that thing out the window by the end of the event!

Hey guys, anyone seen/heard/used one of these?

You are going to need one with gyro bw - other wise all your vids will be of where the car is facing rather than where it is going.

My experience is - the more you spend, the better it is.. We have 4 x 520 TVL bullets running to a quad box. these are then recorded onto a handicam. We also have handicam mounted centre of the cage.

I have it on good authority the handicam is the only way to shoot in differing lights. ie from inside the car looking out. The bullets must be mounted in a constant light source like pressed up against the screen.

For TT this year we are putting all the footage into a 2 x channel solid state recorder (XM-DVR Pro) so it is set n forget every morning. then we can upload from CF card to hard drive every evening.

The other thing we are using is a lanc.

The current system is horn except for the duration of the tapes when in SP mode.

google PDR100, DVR1000, XM-DVR Pro, GV-D1000, FFV Mini DVR Pro. They are a good price spread of recording devices.

TT

Cheers Greg!

Russell has kindly lent me a "box" which can take 4 pencil cams, but I have 2 only. It also has an aux microphone, a lance to switch the handycam on/off.

If I use this I'll still need to but a camera, and so far I haven't been able to get any sound from it. This is the problem we had at Burnie.

The main worry for me is the amount of bloody wiring in the system, if I do eventually get it all to work it just seems SO easy to bump one lousy wire in the heat of getting a helmet or whatever, and she's all over......

I'm torn, really am......

I bought a Hoytech camera and the footage was very average and the sound is delayed. I sent it back they said it was fixed, but it was still the same. Hoytech ended up returning my money.

I now use the POV1, I purchased mine form one of the guys I race against, here is his website

http://mgr.net.au/

His name is Mark Greenham, he is very easy to deal with and has the same interest as us, going fast in racecars. Tell him Ashly Barnett gave you the contact details and he might do a bit better!

For incar footage from my Series 6 RX7 see these links. You can click watch in high quality and the click full screen.

The footage is actually beter than the you tube stuff as you have to compress it for YouTube.

The best thing about this camera is how easy it is to download and edit on your computer.

Hope this helps

Guys, anyone know if the POV1 has anything uniquely motorsport related about it?

Was looking on the web yesterday and you can pick up a DV Recorder 320gig for around $300, add to that a small mic and camer, which plug straight in, and your only around the $500 mark.

Here is the recroder,

I got a Panasonic Digi Camera DMC FX36 which has a HD vid function and with a 16GB high speed card has heaps of memory. It's pocket sized, great quality, you get a free still camera with it! with a Leica lens (no joke in a lot of applications this gives my DSLR a very good run for its money). Biggest limitation is sound, which is important, and I don't think you can hook up an external mike either. Just a thought.

You got any sample vids? Im after another compact digital camera at the moment and if it does good HD and I can use it in-car it would be great..

These items use a hard disk to recorder to. The first bump you hit the drive corrupts and requires a format.

using solid state memory such as CF and SD cards (which have no moving parts) overcomes this.

Cool thanks Tim,

I've actually found an SD version which I'm waiting on pricing for, out of the UK. It's listed as 199 pounds which is far cheaper than the POV1. No doubt the quality won't be as good, but for someone like me who just does the odd track day should be fine. Comes with a screen to review, mic, cam and recorder.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
