Playing with my new GoPro HD camera - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I love doing videos of my car, espeacially at the track. Well the other day I picked up a GoPro HD Hero camera. I was messing around with placements of the camera today, and I did a few shots of one of my favorite locations so far.

I need to pick up the correct memory card as this is not saving the data fast enough. My next few videos after I get it should come out much crisper and with more detail.

If you're wondering, Borla S-type cat back, DynaTech headers, Dynatech high flow cats, and a Cold Air Inductions intake.

Next week I plan on getting another GoPro HD, and then the 3D camera mount. Now that's going to be some fun.

Pics of how you have it attached?

This set up comes with a nice suction cup. Very stable, it also has a few bases that are double sided taped. I have used them in the past for long trips and cruises.

Here is my set up.

Which model camera is this?

Yes, I have Corvette rims on the rear for drag racing.

What video software do you use to edit the video?

I have 2 GoPro's, both with the Battery BacPac's and 32GB SD cards. I've found if you get an SD card rated for 4MB/s or higher (Class 4), the video comes out perfect

I'm using Coral video.

The Sd cards I'm using are from my standard GoPro cameras. I have a 32GB class 10 on order right now.

CamaroSkooter · 06-01-2011, 10:41 AM

I'll have to look into Coral video. Thanks!

The class 10 may be a bit overboard, but you'll be able to transfer the footage onto the computer mighty quick

armysig · 06-01-2011, 11:34 AM

What's funny is, the class 10 was $3.00 cheaper than the 4.

Go figure.

CamaroSkooter · 06-01-2011, 01:08 PM

lol. Now I'm wondering what class SD cards I bought...

Anyway, is Corel Video a pretty easy program to use?

Also, did you happen to notice if the rear tires picked up and launched anything at the camera? I'm still a bit curious as to just how durable these cases are

armysig · 06-01-2011, 02:08 PM

I checked the case and I did not notice any chips, cracks or dings. The case is pretty cheap to replace. It's about $40.00 from GoPro.

Corel is pretty easy to use, you may want to download a free version first to play around with it before you buy. It's a basic upload to the program, drop and drag into the timeline and the edit features are easy to explore with. It's a big step in quality compaired to Microsoft Movie maker.

I use Corel videoStudio 3. They just came out with 4 a few days ago. Here is the trial down load page.
