Got my roll bar mount and suction cup mount, anyone have any cool shots or angles? I was thinking I could to a yarn test on my mini extractor. Not till it's dry outside though. Maybe the rear bumper, facing the suspension? Might be cool to see the exhaust swing around, lol.

I have one of these if you want to see what it looks like. I can upload it sometime in the next few days

please do. One of these days I'll wake up before it's dark out and actually be able to get some video.

Gryff

Ill get it up as soon as I can, which will probably be tonight, or earlier tomorrow
Its nothing terribly special, just going from the store back to my friends house. but you get the idea.

Quick video i shot the day after getting the HD hero 2 for xmas. This one is straight out of the camera I believe.

I have since solved the annoying clicking noise with a rubber clip they sell in the "mount grab bag" that is supposed to keep it from popping out of the mount in the case of a rear end hit to the camera.

Speaking of the "click". I drove all the way to the dragon before i realized my suction cup mount was broken, so i was stuck using the one of the mounts that came stock. This is what it's like.



My stock R package car doing work on an s2k on coilovers and other mods.
Well i had a butterfly brace, and door bars at the time. Rims and tires obviously.


But stupid click, spending this much on a camera and they give you crappy mounts. :(

Alright, its still being processed by youtube, so give it a few minutes. But here it is, just a small run to the store and back to get some stuff I needed to reconnect my rear swaybar.



Ugh, I fail at embedding. teach me! >.<

Heres the link for the time being.

Mines being processed as well. A little boring since you can't see when I'm turning, but at 00:40 you can see a bump leaving the parking lot and an acceleration run. Rear suspension looks much softer than I would have thought.


Edit: see this one looks a lot stiffer and he's actually racing

I need to get my camera lower to see the front wheels a bit too.
Any other shots to try?

Gryff

iTrader: (6)

Hmmm. Its working now, oh well. My camera is a whole lot closer than yours, the lighting sucks a bit because the sun was setting, weird light angles and all.

What spring rates are you running? everything seems a bit bouncy in your clip.

As far as other angles go, I really want to get one of the front suspension but im not entirely sure about a good way to go about doing that...

Yeah I was really disappointed about the click/vibration, apparently it doesn't happen with all of them. I got my grab bag at Bestbuy for $22.

Kind of nice because now I have a bunch of extra hardware and it comes with this:


It totally got rid of my click, Ill upload a short clip when i get home.

I think some of the camera packages come with it(Surf), mine(Motorsport) didn't.

Gryff

Mine came with it, (helmet??) but even without it I havent had an issue. but then again I havent used the slide in mounts without it before... so who knows

jtpaintballwdp

iTrader: (14)

Yeah as far as I can tell it doesn't happen on all of them with out it. Quality control?

It may come with the motorsports one too and I just didn't get it in mine.

PM sent.

I was wondering WTF that was.

I'm running 400F/350r, I was surprised at how bouncy it was too.

Gryff

My rates are lower than yours 375/250 and yet my car seems more planted. are those shitty roads you were on? I was on probably the best paved road in nc... unfortunately seeing as it wasnt that great of a road.

Good looking. I haven't even seen anything like that. My suction cup mount doesn't have the click problem, so i assume i'll just mostly use that. I have a handle bar mount for my bike. IMO it takes amazing video on the handlebars of a bike.


Also, i NEED to get some good video of the suspension doing some insane work on the roads around here.

curly

iTrader: (25)

Road wasn't too bad, not great though. I'll take some more, hope my shocks aren't blown.

I had 2 of them, for about 25 minutes.

Sold my old one for $200 and a year left on the warranty. Bought an "open box" Hero 2 for $260 and got an insurance plan on it. Paid 300 total. So made away with only paying 100 for it. Cha ching.



Oh, i love it. It's better in every way. More options, and easier to use.

Did they improve the LCD screen? The menu options are impossible to decipher with their abbreviations, I have to consult the instruction booklet every time.

Erat

iTrader: (5)

Yup, they sure did.
