Searing lap in that clio...

My son has one of these. A bit more expensive but comes with brackets etc.
With an 8GB card he gets an hour plus filming (good quality as well). Mounting points have been allocated on the Scoob for Japfest

The vid had no sound (I hope!), but I noticed that the ones on the eBay link record the audio as well?

Brilliant value!


As Mike has suggested, putting cameras elsewhere on the car may not be a bad idea. As they're so cheap, you could even use them for diagnostic purposes - secure them on the underbody, in wheelarches, maybe even under the bonnet (if the heat's not too much for them).

The VID in the 1st post, certainly had sound

And very good, crystal clear sound it was

[Spirit]

Yep, defo got sound.....turn the volume up on your speakers Nev

[elnevio]

What?? Speak up sonny! I can't hear a thing! It's all those shell blasts from the war, don't you know?!


Turned out that my YouTube volume setting was practically muted!



So, agreed, good sound!

It installs ok, think the disk might me someeditor software.

[Spirit]

Mine has not arrived yet.

Look forward to seeing a demo from someone

Wow ! Had an email from WL earlier saying with the file sizes he was seeing that he estimated a 4gb card would get 160+ minutes on it (i.e. you should get approx 20mins from a 512mb). Was your 512mb card empty ?

Might be worth using Windows Movie Maker (or similar) to convert to a different format/file size etc

Yeah, formatted it just beforehand, will have a look at converting.

[White Lightning]

Yep, mine is up and running.

I am going to try and stick it to my dash for the test drive home

[damien]

Ok uploading a vid as we speak, Movie maker reduced it to 43mb, so took another vid around town, this time 5mins 22 secs filled the card, dunno maybe town had more colour, light, etc. Would upload the town one but my bit of sellotape came unstuck and it ended up a passenger view lol.

Quality is actually better on the file than the Youtube upload.
