VX220 + GoPro

Post by lou_m » Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:52 pm

I got a GoPro a couple of months ago so thought it was about time that I had a play with it. I used the open back on it which wasn't so good when mounted outside of the car. A bit too much wind noise. Need to improve my editing skills also.

That is a good picture from inside the car. I find so many video clips are frustrating because of the limited view, yours gives a wide perspective that lets you see whats happening :thumbsup

First action is to take the interior mirror off when filming, which Lou seems to have done, wing mirrors are fine and legal.

This is what gets in the way of most videos.

:P yes very nice...i see you have been busy too.......really like the in car shots, as tut said very clean with the mirror removed........sound is a problem it says to use the closed back for slow speeds and open for high speed! :scratch i think...none the less still not great externally......on a different note, coming soon, on the go pro site, will be a remote device :D , so you can pick and chose when to record when driving :thumbsup

next shot im going to try is one across the foot well to get the foot work in action.........

leigh :thumbsup

They advise the opposite, from memory. Logical, if you think about it.

Go Pro also works well mounted to the front grill for the low down look. Gives a sense of speed as well.
