scored a hero 3 black whilst on the honeymoon - far bit cheaper overseas. Accessories pricing was pretty similar.

Bought the suction mount last week - quite difficult to find in Adelaide but I found some. Below is a pic mounted on the rear of the bike - due to the curved surface the mount was not perfect and vid was shakey as fk so i'll have to figure something out.

anyone with a gopro 3 - I suggest doing the software update and if you didn't already have it - grab the app.

The very recent updates have pretty much made the LCD backpac useless, as you can watch back your footage & photos, see live filming - all as long as the footage is 1080 or lower. Anything larger is classed as 'Pro Spec' and probably is too large for wifi. The LCD backpac wont preview anything that is larger than 1440 from memory.

Also you can move photos over to your phone, possibly video too though i'm yet to test it.

Fantastic update.

Agreed. New update is amazing.

Still, I'd like to see 4K recording on live playback (Even downsampled to 720p would be good) and the ability to link multiple GoPros and switch between them live, instead of having to reboot the app.

But, the update is definitely a step in the right direction.

Perhaps bumping this thread is the best way to ask my question. I've got as trackday coming up and want a video camera to capture my pro driving skillz :nyaanyaa:

So what are my options? Let's not worry about price for the time being. GoPro seems to be the default choice but what other options are there? Within the GP stable there are HERO 4 Black, Silver and 3+ Sliver that would be of interest. Things that put me off the 3+ silver are:

  • Clearly shoots in less high 'HD'. Poorly expressed but you know what I mean. Not sure I care as I'm not looking to make pro movies here
  • High bitrate video is 'only 25mb/s compared to 45
  • Lower level 'low light performance'
  • No 'auto low light' feature
  • No Bluetooth connectivity - do I care as it's got wireless?
  • No Protune for manual setting control - but will I really need this? I fiddle with my DSLR but there is so much going on with video capture that perhaps less is more
  • No simultaneous video & photo - I'm assuming this is for getting high quality stills from your videos
  • No built in touch display (which is also missing from 4 Black, but curiously is on the 4 Silver

I don't want to over-buy but some of the above seem important and others not so much.

Be good to get some feedback from experienced users.

Thanks.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
