Drift Camera

[jenros]

well i didnt know they did those that small!-going back to the drift camera,,,in the kit comes a load of various mounts,,handlebar mounts,one that replaces the front brake or clutch lever clamp as a ram mount,this is great,only thing is you have to have a extension piece because it catches the screen on tight turns on the gtr,but just rise it a few inchs and its fine,also if its behing the screen it takes away the wind noise,,,these cameras pick up every little piece of noise. We will be going out for a play on the dirt bikes boxing day,i will try an have a go of putting some on youtube an i will let you know,,,try being the word,,me an computers just dont mix very well! lol. have a good christmas,an hopefully a dry sunny new year

Just watched that video and I dont believe that some of that was shot at 1080 resolution as the picture quality was very poor. I have owned a couple of HD GoPro's and the image quality of mine, day or night is significantly better than what I've just watched on the video link. Also the Go Pro has a spot meter mode for better exposure when shooting from a dark environment towards a lighter environment, i.e. at night, from a dark interior of a car towards a street lit scene, was that used?
I view these assessments with a pinch of salt.

Its also possible to buy a filter for the GoPro which eliminates direct sunlight

well the drift camera has something built into it that if your filming right into direct sunlight,the sun looks like  black small dot and every thing around it is clear,even on the rough ground on a dirt bike.- :listencarefully:not pushing the drift camera in any shape or form,just saying from my own experiance with it

Point taken, and yes the GoPro filter has the same effect on direct sunlight.

Its amazing how cameras have developed in the last couple of years, they get better, more technical and more a££ordable all at the same time
