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

spearfish25 · 06-16-2011, 10:06 AM

I bought the LCDback and love it. Really makes the GoPro more usable.

Here's what I managed to do during my autox last weekend. This was my fourth run and I was getting frustrated that my buddy kept throwing down incredible times. I figured I'd 'go for it' and this was near the top of 2nd gear. the car started to drift but it felt very controllable so I figured 'what the hell, ride it out'. Well, a very slow slalom was fast approaching and I couldn't get out of the drift without screwing it all up. Ended up holding my corrections too long. One might argue I was distracted by the giddy laughter of my passenger!

Second video is of the most incredible save (obviously not me). I watch it over and over...mesmerizing and something to strive for.

Just got one of these. Thanks for the post AK, your tips will come in handy. I can't wait to try this. Now all I need is more stuff to do.

So I'll be rocking this for the next North GA mountain.

Pictures --
->

Location: head strap
Video setting: 720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
Frames: 30
Backlid: open with extended case for the extra battery pack (5hr recording time).
Impression: Awesome. Just like being there with an "in game" feeling.
Head mount test in the burbs. Done in the evening to not too many strange looks.The hard top is put down at the start for more light with the evening approaching and for more audio from the intakes and exhaust and headrest speakers. I had to have the headstrap up at an angle somewhat since I have the extended case for the extra battery. Still captures the windshield view and the cockpit/wheel/dash area.

YouTube Video embed:
The vid should be 15 minutes and should play out while embedded, but you may only get 7 minutes from my youtube page. Dunno why, but I'll likely re-upload it.

What do you guys think?

Got my GoPro HD today! Now I just gotta go play with it

Skeeterbop · 09-23-2011, 11:28 PM

Mounted on the lip of the front bumper, i'm finding the closer i get to the ground the "faster" it feels. Tried mounting on the hood at the base of the window as well but didn't like it enough to upload.

hdskull - where in SD was this filmed? I grew up here but it doesn't look familiar.

Also, I'm in the UTC area and would like to hear the FI catback you have if you wanted to meet up.

He was just fixing my post that didn't have the video properly imbedded.

So umm....just a quick question. Am I the only one that uses the ContourHD instead of the Go Pro? I only use it from inside though, so not trying to accidently lose it lol

I like the ContourHD, a friend uses it to record his snowboarding adventures and the quality is pretty good. The street price is usually a fair bit cheaper as well which makes it a solid value. It is a little more compact which makes it good for helmet mounting. The downside is that because of the tiny size the battery is slightly smaller (and no battery pack option) and it uses microSD instead of regular SD. microSD isn't a huge issue, just a minor annoyance to use an adapter to stick in the laptop. It also uses a fixed 135 degrees instead of selectable like the GoPro (via resolution setting). Both cameras suck for audio and wind noise.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each, I think that GoPro sells more units mainly because they have better marketing and created packages targeted to particular market segments (motorsports, biking etc).

So I just got mine and I was like a kid with a new toy! Here's my first GoPro Hero HD VIDEO!

Cmike2780 · 12-13-2011, 07:48 PM

Well I have been putting this off for a couple years and now I'm in. My wife got me the Hero2 for Christmas with all the mounts you can get. I went and got a 32g card and uploaded the firmware update.
Any suggestions on a mount for the headrest? The rear glass was also something I was thinking of trying. I see one of the posts, with an image on the headrest, but not sure what was used to actually mount to the seat.

kevr6 · 01-01-2012, 11:36 PM

My first GoPro Video post through Youtube!! Took me a second to learn the editing but got it done!!
