It's all good Charlie.... I just want you to be able to use it to it's fullest... Make sure you use lithium ion batteries only, and either a 2gb or 4gb memory stick

Question: does this unit easily adapt to a RAM mount? I have one on each side of my Allison to mount mirrors and have one with the 1/4 X 20 stud that will affix my Nikon camera to it.

Also it would be interesting to see something like a side by side between the normal and wide angle cameras.

Found the answer to my question.

Hi Shaun, a little while ago there was footage of you with the camera mounted on your tunnel in practise, have you any footage of you racing yet or from in your cell?
What would be the cost of a goprowide with all the mounts and postage to Australia, post code 3079. Thanks,
Simon

I just tested it out and i can get all the components to fit in a small flat rate box fro the postal service... so i can get it there for 13.00 dollars... the only negative is that i have to take it out of the original package...

I do not have any in boat footage from my boat, but i have some from Jose's... i will get him to post it on youtube for me

Hi Shaun,

I have just purchased a GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide to get some footage of an Australian F1 that I'm involved with. What would you recommend as far as the mounting of the camera to the boat? Suction cap or stick on mounts? I will also come up with some sort of a tether in case it does come loose, as I dont want to have to buy another!

The suction has yet to come off but i have not run it in a race with spray yet.... best mounting is upside down on the inside top of the canopy... you are able to see the dash as well as everything the driver sees, for that mount i use a sticky mount

Shaun,

Thanks for your advice. Might try a few spots around the boat at a local club event this coming weekend.

Have to finish a few things off to make it there...Hopefully we make it.

Download it to comp.!
Create a youtube account & upload it from your comp. Good idea is to use win movie maker to edit it 1st. :rolleyes:

Will the suction withstand pounding in 3 to 5' chop

Yes, provided the surface you mount it on is smooth enough to maintain a good vacuum. You can do a test to confirm that by mounting the suction cup on to your boats surface (where your going to be using it at) and leave it there for 4 hours min. If it's still stuck on there tight after 4 hours, it'll handle the chop. One more word of caution, the higher the camera is mounted from the cup, the more leverage is applied against it to loosen it's suction grip. So mount it with as low a profile as possible to the mounting surface.

Good luck............:thumbsup:

Managed to get some video footage from a race here in Queensland Australia on the weekend, used the Gopro on a stick-on mount.
