Video VBOX Pro with the OLED Predictive Laptiming Display

To celebrate the launch of LineSnap Predictive Lap-Timing (details below) we are offering £500 / €675 / $875 off the normal price for a Video VBOX Pro with 2 cameras and a high contrast OLED lap timing display. This is a rare one time deal that will close on 30th November!

Predictive Laptiming

Our new predictive lap timer with 'LineSnap' technology gives you instant feedback on your driving technique. It takes your previous best lap and gives you a continuous comparison against your current lap, with real time feedback on the time gained or lost around the circuit. Click the video to the right to see it in action in a funcup race at Silverstone!

Unlike other systems, our predictive laptimer works by using GPS position to keep the time accurate to 0.1 seconds whatever driving line you take around the track, even on long circuits such as the Nurburgring. It comes installed in the high-brightness OLED display.

Racing driver Nigel Greensall said..."I've used predictive lap-timers many times but this beats them all because it stays clear and accurate at all times. It's great in races with limited testing, as you don't need to keep stopping to analyse data."

What is Video VBOX?

Video VBOX combines broadcast quality video, accurate GPS logging and stunning graphics in one unit, and comes with arguably the best driver training software available. It's used by professionals and enthusiasts worldwide.

Some more RadCam footage shot yesterday..... using supplied external mic, one window down..... doesn't appear all jumpy when playing off the memory card, yep appears a little on YouTube... maybe my connection speed? (ADSL)

mm the vbox is awesome but fk me dead even on special at 2000 pound it's a lot of dough. having said that you do get a lot for your money with 2 cam set-up, timer, logging etc. so I guess if you priced up a vio or rad cam, 2nd camera, logging kit, and say mychron timer you'd be around similar money. the question is do you need all that stuff though?

The VBOX Lite with 2 cameras is 975 so much more reasonable.

Not sure where you got that price from. The UK site quotes £995.00 plus freight.for a kit with 2 cameras. AUD 2399

Sorry, £995 so $1600 AUD + freight/taxes though they may be able to knock off VAT?? Would be worth enquiring.

They're not HD I don't think, but it's a lot of logger for the money in my opinion. It's a nicer option than having a camera setup and a logger setup seperately.

I have to say at $1600 AUD + shipping for the vbox lite with 2 camera heads that's pretty good. I really like having 2 cameras and being able to add track map, gauges etc to the footage easily is very cool. I saw some guys using a vbox at SPA and it seemed fairly simple to set-up and use and I've heard the software is very easy to use.

it's certainly got me thinking....

Yeh, well i got stung GST and VAT for my camera... annoying as it was but using the cam for the first time in UK stung me :ninja: But, looks to have good functionality at that dollar, how often do you really watch the footage on a HD tv etc, rather then PC. So sound becomes just as important if not more then picture quality. If the footage is as good as POV 1.5 then thats good enough

yeah agree. if it's got good sound and the logging capability then not being HD doesn't bother me at all. it's still regular TV quality if not better with the 580L camera head.

all HD does is use up shitloads of memory card. I watched the footage we got on russ's POV 1 on my 46inch full HD bravia and it looked fine to me. I was watching it through my laptop which was plugged in to the TV via HDMI cable. it played nicely and sound was quite good actually.

I think overall at the moment the POVs offer a good package. they are reliable, easy to use, give good (but not spectacular) footage, get great battery life and are priced reasonably.

but for the next step up I'd look at a vbox lite as the logging functionality it offers and the software it comes with make it a much more impressive package. even without the bells and whistles of HD video.

I agree with all of the above. HD is not a concern for me. Honestly, the footage I get from my POV 1 is fine (though sound is shite), and as long as it's as good as that (which I know it is) then it's all good. I pretty much exclusively watch it on my computer anyway so it's no big deal.

With getting money back from selling off the POV 1 cam, it's a very appealing deal indeed.

I have to say at $1600 AUD + shipping for the vbox lite with 2 camera heads that's pretty good. I really like having 2 cameras and being able to add track map, gauges etc to the footage easily is very cool. I saw some guys using a vbox at SPA and it seemed fairly simple to set-up and use and I've heard the software is very easy to use.

it's certainly got me thinking....

Don't forget, youll have to pay 10% GST and clearance costs etc. If you have your heart set on one, then best buy it loaclly for about the same all up cost. At least that way you get local support if you need it.

Nooby here...

Whats the best recommendation for budget smart people?

Can we have this as a sticky, but with say, proven good cameras for the money?

Oh, and how does everyone mount them?

All the cameras here are recommended and tested by me for motorsport. Heaps of mounting options too.

RaceRecall.com I won't sell anything that doesn't do the job it was designed for.

Mark, dunno how many times I looked for you on the weekend, and I kept missing you! You need to put some rainbow stickers or something on your Dak Dak so it stands out more. I did pass you on the final transport Sunday in "00", and was waving like a loon, but you ignored me. You bastard. :P

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
