Vid looks real good, and very nice car

Couple of observations, I hope you don't mind.

1: if you are looking out to the road on a sunny day you may want the metering for light to be on the centre so the outside is visible and the inside is dark, in your video the outside looks washed out sometimes in bright sunshine. If the metering is set on a wide setting it may be trying to balance the inside darkness to outside light, and this can impact on the image outside.

2: The camera position looks very high and makes it hard to see "down the road" or distance on the camera, if the track has elevation this will make it even harder to see what is going on.


Love the quality of the video and editing though, looks superb.


Video in my sig below shows the camera set to the seat headrest points, https://www.flickr.com/photos/emmber/29771356286/in/album-72157674033006166/

Not better just a different angle giving more view out the window. The metering on mine was set to wide, and not the centre as I suggested above, but this is because it was a dark overcast day.

Good luck with your track day, sure you will love it...

Thanks for the feedback! , you had a realy nice video!, How did you mount the Gopro at the seat??

I will use 2 Gopro on this trackevent.

1, yes you are right!, i must test some more with the settings!

2 Yes i know it a little bit to high!, i will try to get it a little bit lower. But i am afraid it will shake..

I did a trackday for a couple of years ago, and put the Gopro at the driverswindow. I think it looks little cool, but i don´t like that the A pillar in way..

But i will use 2 Gopro, and one will i have between the sets, and the other will be changed between the stints..

Thanks again for feedback..

Thanks!, that what i was looking for!. Pretty expensive 

[I wanted a GTi]

In the past I've used an extendable shower curtain rail with rubber feet and fitted it between the two rear door glass. Just get in the back of the car and shut the doors and fit it near the front of the rear glass to a tight fit and then open the door and adjust it out another 3mm and then when you fit it the next time it will be a dead tight fit with no movement at all. Think it cost £5 but they are probably £10 now.
