    Looks pretty good. I think you just need to get it up a bit higher somehow. It's a solid mount though, how did you mount it? Suction cup setup? What track are you taking it to? Drags or Autocross? Maybe PGP?

    I had really good luck with putting three tripod foot mounts as part of the floor, then putting the camera behind myself

    Re: Testing GoPro

    Hey I have been looking at one of these as well I got a couple of questions?

    1. If there software that can merge 2 cameras like a front and rear shots?

    2. Can you USB it to a laptop direct and record off it or look at it realtime?

    3. Does it have any GPS functions built in?

    If I read the manual correctly, you can see it in real time on TV using either the a/v jacks or HDMI cable.
    but not the PC.

    You will need 2 Go pro's in order to shoot front and rear. Then you will need editing software to combine the 2.

    I downloaded a free editor witch will do vids, music, and pictures.
