drift_bear Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 since us scottish lot are doing a nice sized convoy down to the pod this year again, thought it would be good to try and find a camera(s) that i can mount on my dash and my roof so i can film some of the convoy coming down. im not looking for anything fancy just something that will do the job really lol. does anyone know where to get them from and how to actually set them up/work them?

Chris Wilson Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If you can find a secondhand Go Pro Hero camera that is the old model, before the HD one came out, they are still superb quality and go for cheap prices. To be honest the quality between an HD model and the early type was indistinguishable when I ran both on the same car to log a weird suspension issue. If you view some of my in car at the lower resolution the none HD will be at least as clear as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
