Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

there was a blanket ban on them, for a while but they are starting to get wise, we were in talks with some-one who does drone following for arc as a friend of a committee member, he has all permits, but could not work out dates.

Am hoping now that things like rally V*'s and such use them that it becomes more frequent and easier to get. same as drone licencing from CASA is getting progressively easier.

I remember seeing a video of some dude in the USA flying one at a big baseball game and crashed into the crowd, shit was pretty funny. 

RIP drone doe

thats exactly what I do, and its by far the best position. 

basically this (not mine but similar setup):

[emts]

I have an open face, so securely mounting  it near the chin area is going to hurt pretty bad.....

 

or i could just go with one of these

Why not dash cam it? Even using a shitty ass $80 dash cam from 8-10 years ago picked up pretty good view and sound for me. I would think anything modern be very good quality and bonus you can just leave it installed and use as a dash cam...

[Birds]

P.S. For those 10 YouTube views or less I'm free

[UNR33L]

Dash cam would work too, I've been wanting one for a while facing front and back just for any accidents etc. probably worth while having, so many shit drivers out there. 

[emts]

whilst the res of those is great the ones I've seen have been fairly slow FPS (prob for space) where as the dedicated ones are much better. (not looked for a while however)

 

will install one in next car, think I could do a whole dash cams aust streams just from my 1 a week trip to work

HUme hwy brings out the worst in people

 

[dezz]

I should probably sell my gopro

[emts]

better buy one quick, won't that mean the price of them will go up

 

on that whats with JB/good guys and others blocking their site from overseas...

how can get a baseline price to try and beat at dutyfree,

[Birds]

There was a really good dash cam a couple years back, pretty exxy but it was made for racing - had awesome quality video and GPS logging for lap timing with 10mhz(?) signal.

[emts]

that was the one based around racechrono I think and yes was very good but so so pricey.

(10Hz not quite Mhz signal quality or like 1.3 hz in your phone))

 

[Down_Shift]

Gopro 4 session is $200 and 5 is $300 from jb. 

Not bad..

next moment car gets broken into to steal dash cam....

I remember having detachable face stereos worth less than a decent set up dash cam, or mobile phones that every-one was scared to leave in a car.

 

now throwing man $$ to something very obvious to outside folks. 

[Leroy Peterson]

Theres a thread in motorsport section for race cams, go discuss there.

Some of them remove pretty easily with their shoe mount, I wouldn't want to have to screw it off every time

[UNR33L]

Yeah that's a bit of a worry, $500 item sitting in plain sight, who can be stuffed removing it every time.

Those Sony XPLODE head units were the bomb, all dem bright red LEDs before RGB came into play.. the double dinn Pioneer head units were for the rich kids

Saw late 80's hilux on city link this morning, dints and rust on every single panel. Removed rear light globes so only the brake lights work. No lights illuminating the personalised and unreadable numberplate. Full dodgy, escaping tolls and speed cameras.

Has primo quality dash cam hooked up and iphone holder for maps. Car was a wreck, maybe waiting for perfect insurance claim.
