Cool thanks! You think this was a better choice than the one that is offered built-in? I assume it’s because you could choose a higher-quality mic for it?

I’d rather have a lower-quality video with high quality easily overlaid data than my time wasted on trying to overlay it together. I still will use my GoPro for autox stuff cause I don’t overlay data with it often, but on-track its just a no-brainer from a time savings perspective.

Video format - H.264 1280x720 pixels @ 30 fps This does suck. I wish there was a good easy way to get gopro's all started at once. |

For sure having data on the video to watch immediately is a big win, but the quality is so horrendous it just distracts me. Why not makea smartycam system that accepts a hdmi input so you add whichever camera you want? smartycam will never be able to match the quality of an outfit like gopro |

I primarily use my GoPro for some secondary validation of what the PDR camera captures, namely what I'm doing with my hands. I'm not hugely worried about the quality; it's an old Silver 3+ that shoots 1080p60 and the sensor produces acceptable images. It's good enough.
Everyone's use cases are different.

I just recently got a Hero 7 black, and running external mic via the GoPro usb c adapter. I route it through the back and mounted next to license plate. I'm having a harder time wrestling with race render, making the smarty sound real smart!
Here's the exact setup Olympus Stereo Mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000B...b_b_asin_title Dead cat wind cover https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HX...b_b_asin_title 10' extension https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LM...b_b_asin_title

Sure, but how many likes, subscribes, and shares does that get you? That’s all that matters!

The camera is mounted to the cage---on one of the tubes in the main hoop. It's on an i/o Port mount. I don't have a great photo of it. The best I could come up with quickly is from a video where the GoPro captures its own reflection in the rear view mirror. (I flipped it horizontally so it looks like you're looking at it.) Anyway, I really like the I/o Port mount. Works great. Has a polyurethane bushing that helps keep vibrations down. Not the cheapest thing. Costs around $110.

Has anyone mounted the mic in the engine bay by the intake on an E9x M3? I did this on my E30 and I quite liked the results compared to the rear bumper mic.

I tried a bit different location this last video.
I hang the microphone lower on the bumper and more in the middle. The mic is mono. The smartycam audio gain setting is lower to mid point. The sound to me is intoxicating. I suspect the GoPro sound would the similar. I also tried placing it inside the rear reverse light for leave it there and forget about it. But the sound was not as well defined. |

I don't have my camera mounted outside the car so I guess I don't have that big a problem with wind noise. I usually mount the camera inside the cabin. Here's a video from my last track day with the GoPro mounted to my helmet. Harry's Laptimer will trigger the start and stop of video so overlay is synced and makes it easy. I usually shoot at 4k 60fps for max quality. My exhaust is stock so it's not very loud but it sounds good with just the built in mic.

Also, when drifting, you tend to change hand positions very often - shuffling and letting the wheel return by letting go and catching it, bad habits of mine from my turbo 240sx days. 9 and 3 is relative when going straight is through the side window.
