Send them some of your "Action" pic's of the MINI running the PR rally.... Get GoPro's juices flowing..... You'll have GoPro's hanging all over your racekor before you know it...
I did contact Go Pro a while back for support or free stuff but they were not interested. I suppose Mr Block gets them plenty of footage?
Anyway back to the Chino Pro! I hooked it up this morning a did the drive to work. You can mount it up side down with the picture correcting the right way round but when I viewed the footage on my laptop it was inverted and I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture the right way round. LOL
The picture quality and sound was good enough but I mounted the camera on the windscreen which showed up all the stone chips. I'm going to play with the monuting this week and hopefully post some footage soon.
Looking forward to your screen debut Chris. Heck for the cost of that camera even I can afford to buy one. Imagine thrilling action videos of the drive to the donut shop. :donut1:
As far as the upside down goes, is it possible they shipped you an Ausie model? :ihih:
Go on say it! DUH! I fitted the camera, got it all set up and due to the excitement of the rally forgot to switch it on for the whole day! what a dummy!!!!!
Looking at Go pro HD on youtube this camera is going a similar quality as a point a shoot type camera. I was going to strap onto my twin rotor helicopter but is was too windy but I thought next visit to Cr I can tape to my R/C Mini.
The original GoPro is most likely made in China. Let us know when you find the higher res China cam. Enjoy the warm weather Chris. I'm tired of this shirt we have here. brr:snowblower::shovel:
I have an Australian Go-Pro, called a Swann Freestyle. It has a ton of features that the Go-Pro doesn't have. I got it at Fry's for cost about half of what a Go-Pro camera costs. I'm really pleased with it.
I tried the suction cup mount on the roll cage brace this morning which give a nice in car view and the ugly driver steering etc but not much view of the road. Anyway after 500yards the camera fell off! The footage looked good though. I think I need to re-think the mounting. LOL
A friend had an 8mm movie camera (remember those) in his rally car. The video starts out on stage 1 he's wicking it on real good. He then turns the review mirror so the camera has a better view, bang he crashes, video ends with "SHORT FARKIN RALLY!".
Chris make sure your camera uses the non-juju format. :smilewinkgrin:
