Nice! Now you make my video's look even worse!! :angry-tappingfoot: :lol:

Thanks. I doubt that sir, I am a rookie with video. Just Movie Maker editing, nothing fancy.

No Slo-Mo sadly. I can slow things in Movie maker, but not the same :)

I think we need a 1/24 car with this looking through the windshield. True on board and some protection for the camera.

That thing looks good to me.

I have been looking for one with a wireless connection to the laptop on the track, or even a cable, I don't care. That is clarity enough for me, that you just posted.

It is only wireless to a Phone/Tablet for operation. I know a highly advanced man of the world like yourself has the all the latest tech stuff like those.

For the PC, you plug it in and can then download the files. The camera shows up a standard removable drive once the USB is plugged in.

The date/time stamp at the upper left cannot be removed. Not a big deal I suppose, just annoying for those that do not want it. The time and date will not update until you connect it to your phone/tablet. It updated itself when I first connected it.

But before this camera, for laughs, go into the TOY section at Wal-Mart over near the bikes and skateboards. They have neat little "action cams" for kids that look even more advanced than this one for about the same price.

One more item I should have mentioned, is that you will spend a little on the SD card. You need a class 10 high speed card. Of course ANY action cam you get will require a high speed card to record in full HD. Just don't forget that. Using a cheaper, slower card will not give you the quality you might be seeking.

Plan to use this camera a lot on the future. It's a tough little outfit, even out of the case.

Harry, that's excellent. but your gears sound terrible!

You know that Harry's cars never sound like that. He had it stuck on one of my cars. It had lost the hood and grill in an on track incident so he wedged the little camera between the fenders and went for a ride.

The specifications of that camera look on par with a GoPro Hero 2, which is what I use. Also, the class 10 HD card is about $40-$50 at a retail store, but I bought mine off the Bay for $11 shipped.

I think videos are a great way to show others the fun and excitement slot cars are. They also help pass the time between track days :banana-dance:

wait- you're a machinist with noisy gears? what's up with That?
