Re: Black Box

Hey, just to let you know, I have a GoPro Hero installed in my car windscreen.

It records in 1080p, has sound (inside the car) and takes a great movie! mp4 format.

I bought the extended battery and use a 32GB Class 10 card.

The battery runs out about the same time the card fills up. About 4 hours at that resolution.
There are 5 resolution schemes; 1080p at 30 fps, there is a 720p at 60 fps

Best investment I ever made. Low lights (at night) are iffy and you obviously don't get the depth due to the low light, but its better than nothing.

But, be warned, it does record everything in front of you; so if you're prone to high-energy driving (so to speak); take a pass.

It has an quick-disconnect clip and I run mine in upside-down mode since it hangs from the windscreen. 1 button push to record.

The only thing I don't like is it can be difficult to tell (in the daytime) if the camera is running. The red light blinks, but its hard to detect in the daytime. You do get some audible beeps when it powers up and shuts down.

When you press the record button, its pretty much on right then, maybe a second or two delay.

The files don't automatically delete; card full = camera shutdown.
