Anyone use GoPro Cameras? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

I just bought one and tried to use it but the instructions didn't say I had to Charge the battery before first use... so i recorded 45seconds before it died.

here's my test video in the Prelude:

I know i need to lower the camera so that the mirror doesn't block the road.

For others who use it let me know where you guys have mounted it and stuff like that.

I mount mine on the front windshield. I have mounted it inside the car and outside the car.

Well that video gave me goosebumps. I love watching you get comfortable starting out and when leaning into the curves.

yeah different kind of rush. I got the crz for fun driving and great on fuel and for the speed thrill I got the bike.

My dad used to ride hard, but settled down a bit now (he's 61). He's been on Hondas, Ducks, Suzuki's, Beemers and 1 Aprilia. He is currently on a Suzuki SV (sound right) because his belly gets in the way on a crotch rocket.

I remember hearing him say "Lean on and me and hold on". That always meant he was bringing the front end of the ground for a couple gears.

Have you seen this? My heart just races....

haven't seen any of his stuff I have a bunch of Ghostrider DVDs. its crazy. I rather be on track then doing that on the street with all the stupid drivers out there. Been hit once and several close calls on the street, lost a few friends and decided track was better. Haven't been on the street since.

About 6.5 years ago before I knew there were dedicated cameras for that type of stuff. Built a little rig that put the camera next to my head on the drivers seat and had it running all the time on the Dragon.
