Make sure you update the firmware on the camera! They're buggy pieces of junk without the updates. I helped a friend get his working last weekend at Mid-Ohio. Took great video once we got it upgraded!

I'm working with a $10.00 computer. :eek: It was a Christmas present from my kid. LOL My old Dell crashed, and my daughter got me this cheap HP. So, I'm going to get another 'puter shortly. :tup: This HP is just a base model to begin with.

I got the GoPro to work great with my computer at work. BUT, I have to watch out for the IT Nazi's! :eek: I could end up getting sh!t canned if not careful. :shakes head:

I put the foam sock on it before I taped it on. You can hear the exhaust, tire noise, and wind. So, yea it needs a bigger dead cat.

I modded my waterproof housing for my Hero3 Black Edition. So that I could use the mic and a polarized filter. Heres the pictures and a link to the filter. :D

GoPro – Polar Pro Filters New! Cube Polarizer Filter-Hero3 - GoPro - Polar Pro Filters

One thing about the Hero3. You can play the video's from the camera to the tv. You got to see it on a 60" LED with surround sound. :D

Test I did using the polarized filter and the mic inside the Nismo. Camera setting are 720p at 60fps. I used the WiFi to start and stop the camera.

My Ram extension came in. I had to assemble it. Which is nice. Because the tube that came with it is about 17" long, so you can cut it to the length you need. I cut mine to 11" from ball to ball. This positions it about eye level and just behind you ear. I thought I had a good location for the mic. I taped it to a piece of metal I had welded together, and put it in the rear. Thought that it would cut down on the wind noise since it's inside the car, but still hear the exhaust. WRONG! I had the windows down, and that's what you hear mostly on the video. Wind noise. :shakes head:

Camera settings: ProTune Off, Resolution 1440p, 30fps, Spot Meter On, Polarized lense filter.

Thanks! :tup: You only go around once in life, and it's short. So make the most out of it. I lost my wife to cancer 2 years ago at the age of 50. That was a leason I will not forget about the meaning of life.

Just wanted to say thanks again for helping me figure out what to do with those RC ducts. My body shop actually made an account so that they would be able to see the pictures of your DIY. They said it was very well done - which is pretty high praise coming from D&V.

Should have her back tomorrow evening. Would have been today but the duct kit install was a bit more complex than they had initially assumed (wait, you mean we're not just cutting holes in your bumper?!?)

I ended up having the ducts painted to match the body. I have no carbon accents anywhere on the car and they looked goofy in grey/carbon (like the car had buck teeth).

Glad that I could help. :tup:
