Anyone got some settings that work at night?

Does not work at night. Does not even work at dusk. No settings to compensate. I recall even on the GoPro website they state does not work in low light.

This vid was shot at dusk. I could see OK but shows up virtually black

Nice. The black Corvette on your start clip is our racing buddy Fuchswanz. Marc drove all the way home from NJMP and drove straight over to NHMS with his other Corvette to run with us on Tuesday!

Anyone recommend a noob friendly basic editing software?

Very powerful but easy to figure out!!

I wont be able to test it out on the car anytime soon but I plan on using my Snake River Blur Fix with a UV filter as my standard set up. I have been using it diving and the above water and beach shots are noticeably clearer. I run it in 1080p and the medium FOV to make the image a little sharper and prevent vignetting, especially when stacking on a red enhancement filter for underwater. I will upload some above water pics and videos to show the difference. Any 55mm filter will work and a polarizing filter should make track videos really nice. If anyone is interested, here is a link. The flat lens is mostly for underwater shots but being able to add filters is a huge plus for any use. There are several other companies that make these lens.

I will try to get that software... I don't have a gopro but I'm making a low light video with my Sony NEX5N with an ultra wide fisheye lens, my problem was I had a lot of heavy HD video files with no program to edit it properly

I have been using windows live movie maker. Free with windows (and its Microsoft, so its not spyware). Its not the best, but it does everything I've needed so far when combining pictures to videos, cutting videos, slowing down/speeding up time etc.
Windows Live Essentials: Movie Maker

Sound on this one is pretty good.

I think I'll be doing 2-3 Time Attack sessions next Sunday....if this is on the strut bar, will try this one first for sure! I also like the mount on the passenger window from a few pages back

Cant wait to try this thing

Clamp crossbar mount
 

This seems to work fairly well and doesn't shake or vibrate. You can get these assembled from eyeofmine.com or you can get the clamp from Bessy tools (XV5-100) and make one of these fairly easily. I didn't like the orange color of the original handles so out came the plasti-dip can (not spray). Plasti-dip made a huge difference in how well it grips the crossbar. I'm going to make my own bracket for the end of the clamp that is a little sleeker looking. I'm also looking for a slip knot cord to attach to the clamp in case of a crash. It grips really well but you just never know.:driving:

Is used 3 plies of 2X6 with a plastic conduit clamp and secured my GoPro to the bar. It works fine, just hard to start. If the link works it will show the view out the front. It was my first ever track event at Road Atlanta, last run. I glanced at the instructor and missed the fact it was a green flag. I made up for my error after I let the two cars go by...

Waiting for a point-by is a bitch...

Oh, I attached some pictures of the mount I created. it is crude, but efficient, and cheap. The last picture is looking back through the windshield so you can see where I actually mounted it. Oh, you must setup the camera to use the spot meter setting and make sure it is out the windshield, otherwise you will have a great video of your interior on sunny days.

Headstrap video from Zdayz.
The problem which I'm not sure how to solve is the conditions of white out with light reflection from the road. Not sure if there is a setting to compensate.

Location: Head Strap mount
Video setting: 1280x720p
Frames: 60 FPS
Backlid: OPEN
Impression: Good, but white out conditions if it's bright out at certain points on the tail of the dragon.

Just picked up this filter. This should fix the overexposed sections of my vid. Any one else used these?

Side Skirt mount looks really good. Trying this out with my GoPro 3 :D

Do you have any video of your driving with that mount? I'd like to see a video

BMWCCA is notorious for not allowing stuff. I'm actually in a process to make my own mount :D. I'm working on a DIY and will post soon. It'll be either an amazing mount for incar videos or bust! But I'm excited.

Where did you buy that? sound good for a REALLY sunny summer days or afternoon laps at the track.

Are you referring to my video?

BTW, I have been using Windows live movie maker. It used to put this annoying black strip around my video (as you can see in post 1). I can't believe a 2 second option change will take out that annoying black edge!! :shakes head:


All you have to do,
GO to project and click on 16:9, that's it.

BTW, just bought this new SD card for the Go PRO HD. Anyone uses it? review?

BeachCamera.com - Patriot Memory EP Series 16 GB Class 10 SDHC Card
Class 10 and UHS (Ultra High Speed) compliant :happydance:.

Also, is the the new update for us older HERO HD user?
http://gopro.com/support/hd-hero-firmware-update
I think my last update was in 2011 when they released the flip upside down feature.

Nope, but nice find. Gonna have to pick one up. Any feedback yet as to if it eliminated overexposed vidoe? Where did you find it and how much $$

Personally, I would stick with the name brands like Kingston and Kingston and if you realy need to substitute it, then go with Kingston.

Patriot Memory is a American Company, been around for a while and is headquartered in Fremont, Ca. A good friend of mine is a VP of Operations over there. :tup:

GoPro mfg recommends SanDisk, I believe that is what I am running. My bad, I previously mentioned Kingston. Kingston is what I use for laptops and desktop memory. It all comes down to a personal preference and results from benchmark tests.

AK, here's the video you wanted to see with the bar clamp. Removing it is just a matter of squeezing the handle which is really nice. Using plasti-dip on the ends of the clamp really helped hold it in place.

Just a short freeway drive to work:driving:
.

I've not had a chance to try it yet. Found it on amazon. Don't have the price handy though.

GF just bought me the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition for my birthday. :tup: Now I have to find the time to mess with it. :icon14:

Dang! I'm surprised I haven't seen this thread yet! My wife is getting me Hero3 Black for Fathers Day. I'll probably bug her so she'll get it for me early (I hate waiting...).

Anybody who has bought a Hero 3 Black Edition, and is having problems with it. Here is a good forum to get some answers. When you buy one. You either get a good one, or you may get a POS. :shakes head:

I modded my waterproof housing for my Hero 3 Black Edition. It now has a hole in the side of it. I had to do this if I wanted to use my mic, and a polarized filter at the same time.

First step is to use a drill hole in the side where the jack on the camera would be. Then use a file to square it up and make it big enough for the jack to fit.

Next, I cut into the cover for the jack holes into two pieces. The one hole that I'm not using is for the HDMI cable. So I'm coving that hjack up.

Then put the camera inside to make sure everything is ok.

The last two pictures are the mic, and the polarized filter.

Here's the link for the filter.

You got you see the video's on my 60" LED TV with surround sound. :D And I still have to up grade my computer to down load the video's to youtube. :mad:

Test I did using the polarized filter and the mic inside the Nismo. Camera settings: 720p at 60fps. Using WiFi to start and stop camera.

Here's a link to other filters for the GoPro. :tup:

has anyone had issues with glitchy video's coming from their go pro? see the video below... I have the Hero 3 Silver

Check for some answers. ;)

yeah I checked through the forums on the gopro site but its not talking about my specific issue. as you can see from the video even with YouTube playing it back it still shows the glitch and artifacts on the video. Gopro talks about the computer not being able to play back the video due to the processor and RAM
