scored a hero 3 black whilst on the honeymoon - far bit cheaper overseas. Accessories pricing was pretty similar.

Bought the suction mount last week - quite difficult to find in Adelaide but I found some. Below is a pic mounted on the rear of the bike - due to the curved surface the mount was not perfect and vid was shakey as fk so i'll have to figure something out.

anyone with a gopro 3 - I suggest doing the software update and if you didn't already have it - grab the app.

The very recent updates have pretty much made the LCD backpac useless, as you can watch back your footage & photos, see live filming - all as long as the footage is 1080 or lower. Anything larger is classed as 'Pro Spec' and probably is too large for wifi. The LCD backpac wont preview anything that is larger than 1440 from memory.

Also you can move photos over to your phone, possibly video too though i'm yet to test it.

Fantastic update.

Agreed. New update is amazing.

Still, I'd like to see 4K recording on live playback (Even downsampled to 720p would be good) and the ability to link multiple GoPros and switch between them live, instead of having to reboot the app.

But, the update is definitely a step in the right direction.

Perhaps bumping this thread is the best way to ask my question. I've got as trackday coming up and want a video camera to capture my pro driving skillz :nyaanyaa:

So what are my options? Let's not worry about price for the time being. GoPro seems to be the default choice but what other options are there? Within the GP stable there are HERO 4 Black, Silver and 3+ Sliver that would be of interest. Things that put me off the 3+ silver are:

  • Clearly shoots in less high 'HD'. Poorly expressed but you know what I mean. Not sure I care as I'm not looking to make pro movies here
  • High bitrate video is 'only 25mb/s compared to 45
  • Lower level 'low light performance'
  • No 'auto low light' feature
  • No Bluetooth connectivity - do I care as it's got wireless?
  • No Protune for manual setting control - but will I really need this? I fiddle with my DSLR but there is so much going on with video capture that perhaps less is more
  • No simultaneous video & photo - I'm assuming this is for getting high quality stills from your videos
  • No built in touch display (which is also missing from 4 Black, but curiously is on the 4 Silver

I don't want to over-buy but some of the above seem important and others not so much.

Be good to get some feedback from experienced users.

Thanks.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
