Yep, 65 in blaine.

Yay spool!

Whoever said that was laggy needs to ride in a car that actually has bad lag. haha. Even mine I dont view as too bad, same amount of powerband as stock just higher up. Same with yours I'm sure.

Giggidy.

I got a GoPro and was really disappointed with the sound quality. Especially when it's mounted outside the car. It wouldn't be so bad if you could plug a mic in.

Great quality image and easy to mount pretty much anywhere, but aside from that, GoPro sucks.

That is some DARK window tint on that drivers door!

Actually, I have more powerband than stock, lol, just shifted. I am close to 5k rpm of powerband...maybe closer to 4500 as it drops hard after 8k but its still making a lot of power up there. But I know what you mean

Personally I thought the GoPro was pretty awesome, the video in 1080p looked very good and the sound was livable...this was it in the weatherproof case too. I am going to buy one when I get some fundage for sure.

Yes, HD. I'd consider it depending on the offer but I'm not dying to ditch it quite yet.

As for Murlo's comment, yes the 1080p image is beautiful, but I disagree with the "livable" sound. I think quality sound is the most important aspect of good automotive footage. I could tell the waterproof case was on for your video right away. The sound is worthless with that case. The only thing I haven't tried that might work is the open cover on the interior of the car. Forget getting good audio from the exterior though.

^Meh, it gets the job done for me, the camera is like 200 bucks new or something...what could you possibly expect out of it.

I think it does its intended job great and is worth the money. If you wanted good sound too I would imagine you have to spend double.
