GO PRO Video Camera

DByers · 05:26 AM

Compressed footage from this past weekend. The raw full file is fantastic on my 42" plasma! Just got this last Friday and was trying out different mounting places. Cant wait for my next track day! Run the standard video inside on the roll bar and then place this in different areas for variety.

Not bad for less then $200 all in. Uses a SD card at 2g (good for about 50 min) and I have 6, so one for each session on the track. Downloading takes awhile as the ray clips are large!

As it appears on my monitor, the image appears to have a Photoshop water color filter applied. Perhaps too much compression during transfer?

Byron,
I don't have pics of the mounting but it was a suction cup deal. The camera is really small. Here is a link to their website. My wife found it thru Amazon for $149.00

Sherwood,
I don't seem to able to change the compression with PhotoBucket. Here are a couple of others from that site that I posted using the same procedure and they seem much better. The first one is the last part of the clip posted above using the new camera.

This is using my old camera (sony DV8)

They all look the same at home on my computer or plasma. The sound is not good on the Go Pro as it is housed in a waterproof housing. I would really like to upload better clips but I have not figured how to with out the clip getting so compressed. Any ideas? Using a mac

Nice Dan! Are you going to attend the STS event at the Streets the end of May?

Brad, unsure on POC right now. Going to try.

Here is the same video but uploaded to vimeo as suggested by Curt. Looks better and I can actually upload a file much bigger then what I did.
