Should there be any concern of that suction cup losing grip on the car? That would be a concern of mine when mounting it outside of the car.

As long as the surface is clean and flat, I would not worry about it falling off. Be sure to only use the goprosuction cup mount as it is very sturdy and tested to 200mph I believe. I tried another brand suction cup for cameras and it doesn't compare at all.
I've ran mine on the windshield, side window, and rear bumper on 2 vehicles with no problems |
I've tested mine up to about 130mph, I've seen others take it higher. Just make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth and give it the old spit wipe before applying.

For editing I'm just using an AVI trimmer, remuxer called AVIDemux. It's got its quirks but it does the job quickly and is free. :) If you want to do fancy text overlay or that then you will need to use Adobe Premier or Sony Vegas which both support wide screen HD video. |
Wow. I really like the look of that video, Chris. I may have to give that spot a try at my next track day.
Mounted in the rear window it feels like the windshield is a million miles away. The inside view is probably best for seeing how you screw up though. (like when I missed a downshift). After a year with the camera I think the view that produced the coolest video was the front/center of the roof. Dragon Run 2 on Vimeo |
If you look at my other videos you will see that I've tried all kinds of mounting positions :) ChrisSlicks Youtube Channel
I did the dashboard mount for my last track day. Good view of the track and minimal wind noise but no view of the driver so you can't see what the hands are doing. I might consider running 2 cameras. |
Placed an order today for the GoPro with forum vendor Injected Performance with Dustin. Also purchased the Battery Pak and Tripod Mount. Had to go elsewhere for the Kingston 32 gb Mem Card and picking up a Cigarette Lighter USB adaptor to charge the battery while it's recording.
Xmas is coming early to my house and will arrive just in time for my run "Brunch Run" coming up on May 21. |
