Testing my new toy!

Post by yashiro86 »

Hey guys so i got a gopro for xmas and the first i did was put it on the 86 to test it out! Really didnt do anything cool but i want to start putting this thing to work at drift events or car meets or when anyone wants to go drifting. So when you guys go have fun and wanna capture the moments im ready!

Which gopro is that, black, silver?
I like cars, food, and puppies.

It's the black hero 3+ edition, so far I only have the suction cup mount for it, planning on getting more stuff though

If you haven't done so yet. Get the gopro app on your phone. It helps a lot with remotely operating it.

I actually set it up last night but I didn't use it...I'll probably go out tonight and make another video

Went out again to test the camera, this time at night to see how grainy it looks. JDM AE86, you were right the app is super helpful...so much better than having to buy the $80 LCD backpack! I'll post the video soon

Also the suction cups are good but it's a good idea to tie a life line to the car just in case it comes off.

Very true, I'm going to go to home depot when I get a chance and find materials to make some. But the suction cup works really well. I put it on the door even though the door kinda curves, and the base of the mount didn't make contact with the door but it still held on. I didn't even move position at all.

very nice man. i want a gopro3 black edition so bad but im fine with my hero2. the suction cups should be very good just as long as the area your putting it on is clean. they can also take a beating. was at a event once and was in a hurry so i just slapped it on a friends car knowing the area was dirty but was thinking it should hold for this one run. well, it fell off at 50+ mph going into an entry. went back for it and it was still running.
