I am thinking about getting either: Go Pro Motorsports Hero GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports Or a: Vrholdr ContourHD HD Helmet Cam - ContourHD and ContourHD 1080p by VholdR And I would like to be able use a data logger such as Qstarz BT-Q1000ex BT-Q1000XT in conjunction with one of the cameras. What recommendations do you have about the cameras? Is any one using a camera and data logger together? If so how is it working.
We've been using and selling the Go Pro Cameras. I've actually talked with them about mating it up with some data logers and they are working on it. I know of one company that has started working with them, but haven't seen a retail application yet. But I think they will eventually get it going, but they are selling these cameras so fast I think they are a little busy. I've got the Cameras in stock if you want one.

I don't think a helmet cam in a car is the way to go, especilly on the street - you turn your head to many times and too quickly, it would be easy to get motion sickness trying to watch that video. Just my 2c I have friends who run in NASA and they use a regular tape type vid cam, plus a data logger like track mate. The software that comes with the trackmate allows you to integrate and synchronize it with your video. Don't ask me how, cause I haven't done it myself, but I've seen my friend's vids and it's pretty cool to have the little track map with the moving dot to show where you are on the track, along with all the other data like RPM, friction circle, percentage of brake or throttle application and so on - plus the view out the windshield and/or back with the sound of the engines. If you like I'll find one and post up the link so you can see how it looks... [ame="http://vimeo.com/11619257"]Untitled on Vimeo[/ame]
