Go Pro HD Test video... z4 M on backroads.

Serious · 07-09-2010, 11:54 AM

Testing out new Go Pro HD. (camera was actually only set to 720/30fps for this video since I only had a 2gig card).

Editing sucks because I only spent about an hour on it and most of that time was spent reducing wind noise in the higher speed parts.

C&C welcome.

Nice! I have the old SD Hero and there are two settings for the mic - high and low. I never had a problem with wind noise with the muffled setting. I found the coolest place to mount it was right below the kidney grills on the front bumper, close to the ground but not so close I have to worry about knocking it off. It picks up the engine sound pretty well. Cool video!

Nice! (minus I had to listen to it on mute - that music was odd LOL).

I have a GoPro HD as well it's a great camera. I've made a bunch of videos with from autox to 24 hours of lemons to the street. It's a lot of fun.

If you don't mind me asking, what does a set-up like that run?

From what Ive seen most vendors all charge with in a dollar or 2 of each other. Its whoever you can find to give you the best shipping deal.

Check out the site and just mix and match or select a kit

Best segment is with camera behind front wheel - cool watching the suspension travel and pretty awesome aliasing effects with the wheel and roundel center cap

I liked the vid.

Next time try the camera placed on the 3/4 window slightly angled at the driver. A friend of mine with an integra places his there and makes some nice vids, you also get to see some driver input there.

still from one
