He is some car footage with this cam from one of the guys in our club from a run we did last weekend.

For info he has hard wired this on in to the car.

Give me a shout if you are interested and I'll get him to post how he did it.

Scudderfish - The camera just worked on my mac (OSX10.5) - files imported to iphoto as soon as I plugged it in. The only thing on the cd is the manual.

Just had mine delivered today. It doesn't look like the handlebar mount will fit round my roll bar.

Going to have to think of another way of mounting it

I've been using a standard 16Gb microSD which seems fine - no jerkiness or dropouts





Cheers,

Okies... had mine for a few days now.

Works VERY WELL in the Mundaneo when plugged into the ciggy socket. Excellent results even if a bit boring!

Just put it on the Viento and went for a drive over to Rusty Nuts (First drive out since Sept las year). Mine certainly doesn't like running on its own battery.
Now I dont know if this is down to me not charging it up properly, or whether the Throbbing V8 hit the "OFF" button or what.
I will be running it off a Ciggy Lighter socket when I fit one

Anyone else had any probs when running on the internal battery?

So far, I am very pleased with the cam and the results. Just not sure about the internal battery on mine. Maybe I got a bad battery, and I will be investigation and checking it out.
Just to keep you all posted.


EDIT:
Just managed to get the red light flashing which means its charging. Have never had the red LED on before, so suspect the battery was flat or nearly flat which would explain my problem with not recording (Auto shutdown is a facility). So will leave it on charge overnight as it says to charge the first 3 times for 12 hours apiece.
I shudda read the Manual (RTFM applies here!)

the manual is next to useless, the video review on the 7dayshop site is better





I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

but this jacket makes it impossible.

so where is the cheapest place to get a micro SD card then guys?

what size should i go for?

Also the fecking mini CD that comes with it wont go in my Drive on my Mac Book, it needs a propper pop out drive, can anyone tell me if the CD is actually needed or what is on there? i presume i could just record onto the card and use a micro SD to SD card adaptor and use that in my laptops SD Card reader?

Would 8GB card be enough for me to get an Hours footage on a race day?

Also what format does the Camera output the videos in? wonder what software for mac i could use to stitch the races together and trim off bits before and after the race?

Thanks

I got a Class 4 8GB SDHC card from 7dayshop for £8.49 delivered, and a Kingston one at that, and it works fine. You ought to have a Class4 card at the minimum.
I think I should have got a 16GB one really...

The drivers and software is downloadable fom the 7dayshop website its in the words of the CarCam advert / page

Linky to Driver File

Also agree the video is better than the manual.

Linky to You-tube Vid

DONT turn off the power at the back of tha camera, or you loose the date info. Watch the Video for all the ins and outs.

Happy now I know how to use it properly.

Nice mount. Considering how to mount mine at the moment as well. Have a stag event this weekend with buggies etc so going to try it out just taped on to one of those and see how it works.

Managed to remove the date using the software method as well. Fiddly but worked!

My one took video and pictures ok. Attatched it to the pc and it mounted. Found the folder with the files then as soon as i select anything it just crashes the window..... lame. Should have expected nothing less for £14 oh well in the bin it goes! Have tested on 3 pc's and all the same.
