I think left rear window is still one of the best places (you can see driver's hands, cone approach, etc.). I've also seen very dramatic shots from camera on the front tow mount - speed feel is like twice faster than real...
Two short AX flicks (I use GoPro Session 1080p 60 fps Medium view) https://www.dropbox.com/s/okl5leswav6spbg/611m.mp4?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/gazbfl8z49...611m1.mp4?dl=0 P.S. looks like dropbox rendering sucks... Last edited by dim635csi; 07-05-2016 at 06:40 PM.. |

So I put it where i mentioned above, the view is good but the sound is horrible, it picks up the wind noise hitting the windshield and you barely hear the engine/exhaust with windows closed Is the video you posted on the first page with an ext mic or just windows down ? |

For low speed AX standard suction mount holds just fine, and camera rather fly away than beat your car hanging on the teeter. For the track I'll do internal mount like on the pictures above, and will add tow hook mount - there are nice combos with camera mount and tow ring.

The low tow hook mount is sweet but darn expensive, especially when shipped over the border here I think I will fabricate one for the new ext cam (don't know what, oh maybe an old iPhone 4! Or cheaper moddable SJCAM models M10+) Last edited by aboulfad; 07-06-2016 at 04:29 AM.. |

I like the over-the-shoudler view best because it shows the driver's hands as well as the full view of the track. You need both if you want to use video for reviewing your sessions and learning. Other shots look cool, but are harder to learn from.
I just suction cupped to the back of the passenger seat. My club requires tethers, so I have tied paracord to the rear inboard LATCH anchor. I do have to re-seat the suction cup every session or it's likely to fall, but the tether makes it fall into the rear passenger footwell. No big deal. It's an ancient HeroHD. I'm sure the newer ones could do better on image stabilization. |

Also, I don't think it's so much the problem of your old camera, rather the backrest itself not being stiff enough, but shaking. |

Lojs , FYI I've used 3M double sided tape on few surfaces, it sticks great and removes easily from the back of our seats, 0 damage! |

The data overlay is an ffmpeg-based homebrew solution because I needed something that worked on Linux. I'd probably just figure out a way to make raceRender work if I were doing it today and didn't already have my script. |

Awesome, I think I am sold on the tow hook view and inside, and they are the safest installs, well unless your car hits a wall
Ok you use the shifteck tow mount ($$$). May I ask how do you all get the map, speed, rpm and g-force, laps, ...? I know how to overlay stuff. P.s.: you know your brakes squeal and it would be more awesome to run a lavalier mic inside the engine bay, I've already designed/provisioned a quick disconnect wire poking out of the tow hook, but hope the mic/wire won't melt! |

That's a cool idea. I'll try that next time. So far, I've always had the mic taped to the rear bumper to get the exhaust sound. It should be rather straight forward to route the mic wire to the engine bay and capture the turbos hissing and puffing

If you route a wire inside the engine bay, I'd advise checking it's temp specs, or wrapping it with any material rated for automotive application. (80-105C) or just put it there and hope it doesn't melt at your excessive speeds |

Those RS29 pads are LOUD. Loud on the track and even louder on the streets when I leave them in I run an external Zoom H1 mic inside cabin of the car which I usually use instead of the audio from the GoPro. I decided not to during this session because you can hear me coaching the M235i driver in front of me via a wireless headset we have on our helmets. I would rather hear wind and track debris hitting the car than the sound of my own voice telling the M235i to go faster!! |

coolmody , thanks for the info! I guess no telemetry solution exists that can get brake info from the F8x? Didn't know the RS29 are that noisy...
In my case, my instructor was sitting next to me, and I detached the audio to replace it with music, so you don't hear the poor guy who kept on saying, brake, brake more, constant steering here, accelerate, ... oh that H1 is nice, but I'll stick with a $10 lav mic Ps: nice driving and track |

So far it seems like the best solution for capturing hand inputs and the track is rear passenger window with the seat rolled down? I was thinking about what to do as well, because I'll be tracking my M3 quite often.
