I agree FWIW, that license plate spot would be best. Another thing to try is to simply aim the microphone upwards, and stick it to the fog light spot. That may work, too.

yep, that's wat i saw a few months ago.

i have a dual usb power adapter in the center console which it routed under the console, behind the passenger seat, to the gopro headrest mount. i also have an external stereo mic feeding into it from around the rear glovebox area. it's quite good.

cant post picts because the upload feature at this site is broken right now. and thanks to some arse last year, i deleted all my albums.

Just wanted to let you know that im deployed overseas and I watch your youtube when I get that urge to drive and it helps a little.... :driving:

Mic sounds so good man the z note puts me at peace :tup:

^^ which mic are you talking about? the hero3 built-in mic?

played around some with my second microphone last night just to see how it would go.

Glad to hear. Enjoy your stay in the sandbox, I was there til July of 2011 :)

Just curious about the GoPro Hero 3. At the higest resolution, what size would the file be for about 10 minutes of recording? I just tried an experiment with my Motorola RazR Maxx HD phone in the 1080HD+ mode. I have the windshield mount for navigation, and the camera is pointed directly out the window. I did about a 10 minute video, and the file size was a little over 1GB. So, I figure with 20GB left in my internal SD card, I could get about 200 minutes of recording. When I played the recording back on our HD TV, the sound and picture were pretty stellar. I really don't want (or need) a GoPro (although they are amazing), I just may use my phone during this years ZdayZ "Dragon Quest".

So how much did this setup cost?

go pro = 400.
mic = around 80 i think it was on amazon.
audio cable for go pro = 16.99
skeleton frame for go pro around 27.
microphone stereo extension cable around 5 bucks.
Mount for microphone around 25.

SD Card = whichever you buy.

Damn that's more than I wanted to spend on it. Maybe I'll just borrow Rob's old one again :icon17:

Must feel good to be all done with that.

.... Maybe good enough for a nice 1080p drive :stirthepot:

Unknown off hand, I'd have to muck with it. But the Black does 4K resolution at 15 FPS, so it's probably be quite large. It also does 1080p at 60 FPS.

The GoPro and your phone are very, very different tools, though. Only one will survive being chucked like a football in its protective case :). Or, like in my case over 3 years ago, being rammed into a metal safety barrier and still functioning just fine.

My GoPro was $350 and included a 32g memory card, along with a free spare battery.

That is the big thing for me, my GoPro is used for many things.
Many of which my phone could not survive, being thrown around, water, mounting on the outside of the car.

this is very true.

for my application though, i should've just bought a small handicam kinda thing from panasonic and a wide angle lens since only record from inside the car (passenger headrest).
