ive been seeing alot of cars with those little video cameras on the insid e and outside of their cars wondering are any better then the other ? and where to purchase

 

http://www.goprocamera.com/

think they have a hd version coming out

 

Contact "innes" he will hook you up with the GoPro camera, that what most are using. i have one myself, they work great!!

 

go pros......IPG has em. ill get one sooner er later. need a trans first. (again)

 

My go pro has no volume in the race car anybody have similar problems? sound works fine when the car isnt running, im assuming the vibration is killin it? No good with no sound

 

Where are you mounting it in the car?

I've noticed some do lose some pickup in some cars, but others do not.

 

Im mounting it with a suction cup on the pasenger window. i was havin all kinds of problems with it, some times just turn off during a pass other times work flawless allways didnt work on my good runs! Maby mine just sucks wierd thing is it works fine mounted on the helmet riding the bike.

 

were the mike is drill a hole in the clear c ase its what i had to do worked 100x better

 

thats a good idea, i fount that the hi sound setting picks up too much and the lo setting doesnt pick up enough...gonna try that next time.

 

the gopro work great, but the do not like a lot a vibration, it seems to f up the video files

 

The GoPro HD's suck compared to the Contour HD camera's.

I fitted up my Ducati 1098S with one just last weekend. A buddy of mine told me about them. Here is his video shot with the Contour HD @ 30fps....

That link doesn't show sound quality, but it is far superior to the GoPro's. You still get wind noise, but about half as bad. I'll throw up some of my vids in a few days if I ever get free time....

 

Here is the sound.... Non HD @ 60fps

I like the wide angle lense of the gopro..can you get one for the Contour HD camera?

 

With the Contour HD (There are two versions) you can adjust the resolution and screen size. There is no wide angle lens that I know of.... not to say one doesn't exist for it.

I have the 1080p Contour HD. It just came out about a month ago. The more common one, which was used to record the videos above, is the 720p model.

 

the contour HD seems to be much better from what i have seen. Better quality and much better sound.
And the contour is wide angle.

"Description:
- HD video at 30 fps OR SD video at 60 fps
- Removeable MicroSD allows you to record up to 8 hours
- 135 degree wide-angle lens captures all the action
- One button recording
- Rechargeable lithium ion battery
- Laser alignment
- Mounts virtually anywhere using patent-pending TRail Mounts "

 

Those are the specs for the 720p version.... the 1080p *new* version is a little bit different

The Contour HD 720p starts at $279 and the 1080p is around $349 or so.

 

I just ordered one of these. The GoPros are cool and handy, but the sound sucks and video is ok. Looking for something a bit easier to record with too, this deal has a nice small remote to start/stop. Fumbling with the on/off and record button on the GoPro is a pain.
