In car Track camera

C5ry · 05-07-2016, 02:59 PM

I have watched YouTube videos of in car camera with lap times and more. What is a good set up to go with? I do about 3 HPDE events a year
Thanks for help

Gopro is pretty standard.

GoPro + Harry's Lap Timer. If you are more serious, GoPro + RaceRender + AIM Solo DL with CAN bus integration.

I use a Sony AS20. Works great, but you'll have to drill a hole in the included waterproof case if you want to use internal mic.

For 3 HPDE's a year, Harry's Lap Timer is sufficient.

gopro hero4 black with $35 external mic.

I use this one and it has served me well. And for $30 I won't cry if it breaks or whatever:

(you also need the $9 USB audio adapter and a skeleton case for the camera)

As far as camera mounts, I use the new Tackform v2 (also on Amazon):

recently got this mic buffer. the small foam thing that comes with the mic is kinda cheesy and i think it will fall off. so i bought this and zip tied it on.

In my experience of putting the mic on the back bumper, the included foam tip was sufficient to muffle wind noise.

glad I checked this thread - had to order a new lens cover since mine has a big ass crack in it. would have been shitty video with a big line across it lol

i did just that, but the tiny foam buffer didn't really secure to the mic very tightly. i got a small zip tie on it, but i still felt like it was going to fly off.
