dont know if anyones heard of these but i figured you auto-x guys would like this camera. I just bought one a few days ago and its pretty badass.

they got a few different models but i got the motorsports wide angle model. bought it from a guy on an evo forum for $165 but they usually run between 165 and 200. cool stuff.

 

cool toy! could have used one at the shrimp cruz!

 

haha this is Funny, I saw that tiny camera in USA during my snowboard trip and was thinking must be junk quality.
Right know my friend is coming to my place with his Hero wide camera and he want me to mount it on my R6 and test it...

Going to try if possible tonight.

 

I am deffinately getting this. The quality looks allot better than I thought it would.

 

Ok just came back...

First the Motorsport package is nice and have a nice mounting system.
But it is crappy, it kept falling in bumpy road or high speed.
Maybe mine is defecT?

Second, I'm amazed night time is pretty good compare to other camera!

Here a quick video i uploaded.
Sorry it is crappy, I don't know how well to video and compress without loosing quality :P

i like the camera encasing setup...maybe modify it for a stickypod mount...

 

Mounting system.

 

yeah man, maybe yours is defective. I had mine on my window with the suction cup and didnt even flip the securing switch thing and it still held up fine and when i watched the footage you couldnt even see any bouncing that i saw the camera physically doing. i love this little thing, and was hoping some of the guys here would catch on so they could upload some auto-x videos.

 

i was afraid of how the videos would look after uploading to youtube due to compression or whatever, but that motorcycle video has it still looking awesome. maybe ill go for a drive some day and upload a video just to show it off.

 

I just redid a compression after editing and quality is much much more better.
Also I just read the operation manual, they say if you want more sound remove the waterproof sealing and set the sound recording to low.

That's why on the video you couldn't hear much. I had it low and with seal :P.

To bad no track or autoX event here

 

Try setting your camera on high but leave the seal in. Heres how mine sounds on my R1 with a set of slip-ons. I mounted it on the airbox cover part of the tank too and I think thats the weird vibration noise that happens at a certain rpm.

hmm.. i think my brother has one of these.. time to try it out

 

This is why they dont recommend putting on Hi, it will record the vibration.

 

My bad it actually IS set to Hi with the seal out. Funny thing is the weird vibration is right about the rpm the intake tracts lengthen(about 7k) I used one of the direct stickon mounts right to the camera so that could be part of it also. With it mounted directly on a helmet the sound was perfect. That suction cup mount seems to isolate out the vibration as well but I was to chicken to try it on the tank in fear I'd knock it off at high speed.

 

I hitted almost 200 kph and it helded well.
Mine was set on low with seal, this is why we can't hear a thing even with a full exhaust.

I had the same problem of sound tho when intake started to move up and down.
