Only problem with that is the fact that like, 50% of your recorded footage is....blackness, and messes w/ the white balance of the video. Cant see ****, really.

Not a fan of that position lol.

If you set the GoPro to spot meter mode, and very carefully aim it so that the center of the picture is in the middle of the windshield, it will white balance for the outside rather than inside of the car, and mostly fix this problem.

EDIT: I just watched the video again and it appears that's what was done for this video. I personally think it's fine. It's about the best you can do if you want to get the course ahead AND the driver's inputs at the same time.

I'm at work right now. Good monitor I have, but good connection I do not.

I'll try again at home.
