Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB
2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
32 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X

You can do this in iMovie or QuickTime on Macs.

Does it preserve the GPS data? That's always the killer for me. Having to resync a data export in race render, etc is a PITA.

Ah, sorry... my video clips are purely video. I sync the data in RaceRender.

Do your organizations require your gopros to be tethered inside the car? I went to an event today and it was required?

I haven't run into it yet, but I've heard some do.

No, where was this and with who? What is their criteria?

NJBMWCCA at Summit Point. Said a suction cup wasn't enough and needed to be tethered to the car. I'm thinking if I tether to the mirror I would have been fine.

was thinking of this, do you have any pictures of set up? also, any issues with picture quality (ie, really bright outside car, though probably camera dependent) with mounting in this position? Thanks!

Here is a picture. I use a Gopro and don't have any issues if I use the right settings.

Thanks! That looks like 2 extra arms.

I don't recall. I found a receipt for 1 "Modular Arm Extension". Based on the picture on tackform's website I think it is one extension. I placed the order for the extension through their customer service(super friendly), they may have sent me two.

Looks like a curved adhesive base and basic short arm setup. I bet a space light cover is cheap if you don't want it there all the time.
