The GoPro is a complex little camera that takes a reasonable amount of hands on experience as the primary learning curve, once you spend some time with them they work quite well especially for the price IMO.

GoPro isn't complex just a pain in the ass to turn on and off where it is attached to my roll cage. Uploading takes way to much time also but will be a lot funner with the Traqmate.

Next GoPro competitor...

https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod119594.html

Starting to see a few of these used around here and so far, the guys seem to like them. Here's an example of the video and data from one.

For an initial launch that's relatively impressive.

Unit size and aero looks good.
Adequate image capture options.
Good selection of mounting accessories.
Wind deflector and external mic compatible.
Preview screen very handy for aiming.
Optional remote, smartphone and Garmin control options.
GPS/Accelerometer/Altimeter/Wi-Fi.
Optional heart rate and temp sensors.

And it's in the proper price range. Ain't competition great for the end user!

I still have a Gamin GPS that is mounted to my dash
of the Pantera.. used it for the Silver State and actually
ran it on two of my Dual Sport motorcycles..It is way old like me
Put new batteries in it before we went to Thunderhill
so I could see what the fastest speed I did (it has a memory)
When my buddies asked me I told them I never turned it on
Sounds like some orange car guy

Looks like I get to borrow a Garmin VIRB Elite for tomorrows autox.

I'm more interested in the data that comes with the video.

We'll see how well it works compared side by side with the GoPro Hero 3.

Q1 2015.... mark it down. And good thing that garage is almost done... you'll need it for some major upgrades. Your leaf spring days may be coming to an end my friend....

We looked at each other and just started laughing, ya right!

Few minutes later you're back in the pits and we're bringing the air pressure down "just in case"....20 minutes later you've just had the best volley between the Porsche and Panoz! Poor Panoz driver was flat wore out! That was some exciting, non-racing, just "cadillacan" action!

I'm thinking you and Gaetano will have your little friendship cruise at some point.....and he'll have some excuse why you ran away from him!

Shall I change your signature to read "President of the Real Greg Weld Fan Club" now or do you want to wait a few days to make sure?

He went home with boxes full of parts -- we're friends at least until the end of next week.

That's funny Flash, well it would be funny but you've already used that line on Chetly....get some new material, mmmk?

Or, finish your car and get to the track....who knows, you may get some fans of your own. lol

Xoxo

Greg, all those parts are going to cost me a bunch of money, I'm going to need a refund.
