KugaWestie Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I knocked this up tonight, hopefully it will be stable enough Quote
KugaWestie Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Now I have to decide the best setting......as this is just a Hero, not an HD, I only get two options, Hi or Lo Hi quality Lo quality Sorry about the ugly mug on there What do you think - I guess the best way will be a road test, as the garage is a confined space. Both videos were also take with the waterproof case slightly open, will this reduce noise much when clamped shut? Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Gopro reccomend the low setting for cars but go for a drive and see what works best http://wpcdn4.gopro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/operating_instructions_5mp.pdf Shutting the door should help the noise, if nothing else it should stop some of the buzzing from the camera vibrating. P.s. did you know your garage walls are bowing out Quote
KugaWestie Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah I saw the instructions, but not sure if Lo setting affects the picture quality? As for the garage walls - I had never noticed that before Quote
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 What's with the cable tie?? Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 did it not say in the instructions to open to garage to avoid passing out and eventual death? Quote
robo1968 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Have you got a swarm of bees under your bonnet instead of an engine? Fairly eco friendly choice though I guess? Quote
KugaWestie Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 What's with the cable tie?? The waterproof case clip is broken Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Clips are available as spares from Go Pro I believe. Quote
Dodgey Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Your mount is sound. As for audio - you'll never get a nice track with an external action camera like the GoPro without a separate sound recorder. I've posted a load of details on one. It is around £90 though :-( Quote
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I understand with making you own and all that, but why not just buy the right GoPro package which comes with the roll bar mount or just buy the roll bar mount. This is the GoPro Roll Bar Mount Quote
KugaWestie Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Because making things gives a good satisfaction. Like the proud feeling I get every time I get in the car, I made it and it feels good The mount cost me nothing to make apart from time, so why not. Yes it is not as nice as a proper gopro mount I am sure, but it does the same job Quote
KugaWestie Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Clips are available as spares from Go Pro I believe. I had a look on the website and could not see any Dave? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Try our friendly neighbourhood Dog Cam Sport, here... http://www.dogcamspo...-door-clip.html (they're "Back Door Clips" if you need to search for them.) Forgot to add, I was recommended to gently ease the pressure off the clip when opening and closing the case, helps avoid breakages. Quote
