Hey guys not sure where else to put this so here it is.

I've recently got myself a new gopro hero hd 2. Have filmed a bit of footage on it but its been mostly 4x4 slow pace stuff using the suction cup mount.

Just wondering if anyone has one of these (I got the motorsports edition kit, with the suction cup). I was chasing feedback from anyone who has used this particular mount for high speeds motorsport. It has the 3m sticky pads but don't want to stick them all over my car if I don't have to.

Would appreciate feedback.

Maybe also a place where ppl can post up some footage filmed off there go pros

Check that out i had 2 go pro's mounted on my car one on the inside mounted to cage and the other on the roof with suction cap, both were rock solid 145mph and full RPM launches didn't phase them highly recommend them.

Using it for powercruise mate so hopefully reaching speeds of 200+. I know qr is rough but im guessing rally is worse lol. I just wasn't keen on 400 bucks worth of camera falling off my car and getting run over. Hey nur33 that link wont open on my tablet but will check it out, god I love ur car I read the article in hpi I think it was a few months back.

I've used the 3pod Camzilla at all kinds of tracks - including a 220kph pass @ oran park. Just make sure it's on a good clean flat section and go for it.

BTW - the lower the angle the "faster" things appear. I have one of those 3M pads in the front intercooler air intake area - always looks great!

Get the double suction mount (way better stability) from here:

and get the GoPro accessory from here:

Just ordered both of these, thanks heaps for the link. Definitely considering buying a second go pro to do the dual videos. Love the idea of mounting one in the front mount area would be sweet and fast.

Wat editing programs do u use, tried using windows movie maker as it was already on my comp but it was painful to do so.

i mostly use my gopro for stills these days (point and shoot fisheye camera ftw!) but I recorded a little bit with it. i used the imovie app on my mac, not the best app, but does the job for simple edits...

I use Corel Video Studio for editing. The big key is that it is way easier to learn than premier or final cut pro (pro level editing software). It is a mid range package around $120 (buy on-line!). Does the job pretty well for us amatures.

As for slow motion - do a bit of research. I'm saving up for a new GoPro Hero 2 - it does 120fps in 480p. Slow that down to 30fps and get 4x slow motion. The trick with slow motion is to get software that can pull the frames out so you don't lose them. A lot of software just holds a frame for 3-4 times longer giving jerky motion.

  • 1 month later...

I have searched go pro and this thread.... didnt come up lol but found it so thought to ask advice here rather than start a new thread.

Ive just bought an HD Hero 2 Motorsport also. After hiring one for a track day from pezhead I decided to buy my own. Scored it for $269!! I have taken some footage on it just around the house and the footage is very jerky and grainy when I play it on the computer. I have it set to 1080 and using a 16gb sandisk extreme up to 45 mb/s card. Also the footage I received on disc from my track day is the same. The promo video on the gopro website is unreal quality. Whats going wrong? Could it be as simple as needing a better Graphics card in the computer? I did try the disc footage on another PC which was grainy but smooth.

If anyone knows please help. Thanks

Liam

Yeah it'll be a codec issue most likely on the PC itself.

MPC-HC is where it's at (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema), out of the box it'll probably be ok actually without any codecs.

You get a zillion options with MPC-HC as well if you want to do post processing and so real time on without the need to run it via video editing packages. Packages obviously do a better job, depends what you want etc.

All the go pro stuff I have looks perfect right off the card

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
