dimmer works. i put leds in thr cluster last week. the oem bulbs werent bright enough for me. and they looked pink

 

Be careful with the dimmer. Most LEDs don't like being fed low voltage. They die pretty quick when that happens.

 

i always have my dimmers on max. dont like low lights.

 

thanks to black friday deals i picked up a gopro hero3. then picking up a remote tomorrow.

vids soon. long as the weather holds out.

anybody know if the suction cup mount swivels

 

Mine does

 

do you know if you have the old or new version. or does both swivel.

i mean spinning in an 360 swivel.

 

Im pretty sure theyre all the same

You loosen a nut and it swivels to the position you want then tighten it back up

Its a wedge nut so it stays pretty tight


College girl tight

 

The suction cups don't swivel as far as rotation, you can adjust the front/back and left/right angle. They figure you'll mount the suction cup with the camera pointed in the relative direction you're aiming for. The wide viewing angle more than makes up for this.

 

alright i was thinkin in terms of a sweeping motion in due for shenanigans

 

They do make rotating mounts and things like that but most of them aren't cheap.

 

You get that go pro yet?

 

oh ive had it, just no mounts. i had it tucked in my headrest while cruising. unfortunaty, sound got cut out from the mic being covered from the headrest. so anyways i recorded cruising, some spooling, and some boosting, when into a store for bout five minutes with it recording. when i got out it said full. take the sd card out and its 2mb lol.

im gona get a suction mount thursday, upload them, and try to something up by friday. granted it prolly wont be good shots since my first time and all. any recommendations on angles lol

 

You need to get an external mic and mount it in the engine bay

Theyre like 10 bucks on amazon

Get a mic for interviews that clip on and mount it in the bay

 

Yea the biggest drawback on the GoPros is their onboard mic. It sucks. If you have the waterproof cover on you can't hear **** and the open back is all wind noise. A friend of mine found a badass 360 mic for the GoPros that has some of the best audio I've heard. I'll try and see if I can get him to tell me what mic he's using.

 

Olympus ME-51s is what Im using.

 

**** man, i thought yall were joking bout the mics. is the sound quality on the hero3 that bad without it. like i said i didnt get sound cause the mics were covered on it. but, we were playing around with it in the house and it sound decent.

not 9500 screamin b16 tho

 

Yea def get a mic. Youll have the case on it to with the suction mount so youll def need a mic

 

sheeeeeeiiitttt, little **** is robbin me and i havent even used it yet

 

went out testing angles last night and this morning. best angle ive liked so far is centered on the sun roof. video picture quality at 1080 30fps looked kinda spotty like a dirty lens. so i cleaned it and recorded this morning to work with the spot meter off. so im gona go out later and later 720 60fps with spot meter on and off. i may just need a new casing. it doesnt look as bad just ******* around in the house in slower motions. i dont wana post a shitty quality video.

p.s. sound isnt that bad. i can still hear spooling and the engine for a split second, then its all megapower!!! lol

 

just a cruising video. nothing special.

 

30fps?
720p?
*checks calander*

 

that is 720 60fps. picture is better than 1080 30fps

 

I agree on my Hero 2 I use 720 60fps too. Sound isnt too bad, but its muffled. The mic opens up the crispnessss

 

Hero3 can't do 1080/60fps?
Welp, that's money I'm not spending on go pro

 

Ls joker monica!!!
