Official GO PRO HD 370Z Owners Thread:Mounting Tips, tricks, Pictures, Videos Inside

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.

Great guys at Injected Performance I will not hestitate to shop there again. Been eying this camera since last years Feather River Run. It's due to arrive tomorrow and memory card on Thurs. I hope the manual is not like a dictionary (fat) because I want to have enough time to become familiar with all of the features and test out different mounting locations. Tell Rob at ZCG he owes me one and to get your car back on the evening of the 20th....j/k. You probably will not be any shape after returning from the island. I was hoping to mount the camera somewhere in your engine bay to hear the TT....haha

I hope I got all of the accessories covered? Would hate to weed thru all the manual stuff just to find out I did not get an that one neccesity accessory.

They have some good stuff for our cameras.

The backpack is a great added feature. Got mine 2 weeks ago....this made the camera complete.

Nice vids and nice lines.

Where did you mount the camera for the Lime Rock Quick Laps? Were you shooting in 1080p?

Not sure if it was covered or not, but you can flip the video prior to recording. Check the book, it has the instructions for setting it for flip or upside down mode. Takes 2 sec to change it prior to recording!


I prefer the unicorn look

They came out with that feature towards the end of last year, prior to that there was no way to do it in the camera.

If you have an older camera do the firmware update to get the new features.

Nice. When you shot the in-car video I presume you use the 720p mode to tighten the shot up a bit? I'll be up at NHMS on Mon/Tues next week with COM.

Here's a fresh auto-x video from the weekend. Very high-speed course for about the first 2/3rds.

Inside car shots - use R5 (127 degrees vs 180) & Spt (Spot) - Spt uses "light intensity" in center of shot (outdoors lite) to better see outside- IF you want interior of car (ie shot of driver) then put on "Cnt" and GoPro will use interior brightness for settings
