yah, also if it's wifi, what are you going to do if there is no wifi connection? and if it's bluetooth, then im not sure if BT can handle that much data...? maybe for still pictures and time lapse it might work. :confused: wat if you have more than one gopro? how are you going to monitor both? :confused:

i think the best approach is to get the bacpac LCD for quick setup/confirmation + composite cable and hook up to an external LCD device as needed. you can buy cheap 3.5" ~ 4.3" LCD's for rearview cameras on amazon for like $30 if you dont have a HU with LCD. just plug in, setup your camera, remove cable and lcd and toss it in your gig bag.

Hey Fire, Congrats on the award!! :tup:
Is that a Gallardo beside your Z??

Nope those are TF3 Bumble Bees. From right to left they are how they placed in the judging. 3-4-5. In our class of about 45 cars.

SPOHN 06-25-2012 09:57 AM

Car being dropped of at frame shop now. Nervous. Still waiting on SPL to ship my parts. Maybe today.

here's the latest on my gopro mount. i got rid of the universal joint cause it was just a pita setting it up each time i accidentally bumped it.

in this pict it's using three 1cm thick collars inside the DiNoc. ive been using 4cm from the headrest bar to the bottom of the gopro tripod mount (passenger seat reclined 5 clicks), but it's not letting in enough light to reduce exposure on sunny days even with spot-metering turned on (roads appear washed out) pointing at the top of the 3 gauges/hood; so over the weekend i took off all 4 collars to see if that helped... and it did. :tup:

but the height and angle was too low for my preference, so i raised it 3cm and spot-metering at the top of the 3 gauges/hood. will try this weekend. if the roads are still washed out, i will take out one of the collars to make it 2cm and so on. :p

:iagree: Never Never judge....

I remember when I was running the online R/C race-track, there was this 30ish young white man coming in, dress very very causal, relax and looks like he's from nowhere, but he always brought out a whole stacks of money, yes, stacks, apparently he owns 2-3 night clubs in DT area... a very nice guy though...
