I've had the same problem - when you're heading towards a curve at speed, then checking the speed is not really the first thing on your mind.
Leading evidence: 'Check speed is not really the first thing' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

However you'll notice despite having tons of angles, we barley use any of the footage from them because they're really best for adding some extra "spice"

Have any of the 996 owners used the GOpro Camera aboard their 996?

I do lots of underwater films and use Roxy to convert.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Have any of the 996 owners used the GOpro Camera aboard their 996? If so, have you posted the results to Youtube or Vimeo? Maybe one or more of the 'track guys' have undertaken the project. Would you mind posting a link to the film on this Forum? Thanks in anticipation.
Mounted on my GoPro on my roll bar...
you can check out a Skyline HD video of Lightning Track in New Jersey. I will be downloading my runs shortly.
you can go to U tube and look up "SWK Lightning (4/27/12)"
enjoy.
I just got one this weekend. For my first video I attached it to the back window of my car's hardtop.
It gave me a good view of what I was doing but the road view seemed washed out.
So the next thing I did was attach it to the front window. Perfect view of the road but I couldn't see how I was driving it. For me the only solution for a perfect mount would be adding a rollbar and attaching the camera to that. The other two options weren't that great.
But I will tell you I still love the videos it took, very interesting to see yourself and your driving from a camera's perspective.

The sound was all jacked up which is the reason for the music. Also it ends early because I was trying to keep the size lower.

Here are a few laps at Homestead. This was my first visit back to the track after my rebuild. Can was strong but I had to cut the day short due to a crankshaft seal leak. The 996 in front of me had either a turbo or supercharger.
Im driving with NASA in a couple weeks. Now that Im familiar with ideal mounting locations I will post more videos after that event.
Depending on what you want to see, a good place is on the driver's side, rear bumper, facing forward. You're low to the ground, good view of what's coming, can see the front tires turn -- and with the open back, you get good engine/exhaust sounds.
Stuck on the windshield of my '99 996 at Road Atlanta in March. First time at the track with that car after going there for 15 years in my 944 Turbo.

I have a load of them from the rollbar, maybe 10 or 15. Both in 1080 (30FPS) and 720 (60FPS). Also most are overlaid with track data.

Terrific film.. I do lots of underwater films and use Roxy to convert. I have found it best to choose email settings for youtube. The finished product is good in HD and low in bytes. Good enough for youtube or Vimeo anyway. So what speed did you get up too along the stretches.? That track surface leaves a lot to be desired especially on the corners.. Lots of it seems to be patched up. Is that usual for these tracks or are some better finished than others. Does the bad surface effect the handing of the car on the corners? Anyway thanks very much for putting your film up for me to oggle at.
It really depends on what you intend the footage to be used for. If you just want to watch yourself in a track critique, then mounting in the car on a roll bar makes sense. You'll notice that despite how fast you are actually going, it will look much slower because the lens on a GoPro is very wide.
If you intend to edit footage together, GoPro footage makes for great B-roll. The lower to the ground the camera is mounted (front lip, low on a fender or bumper), the faster the car will appear to be going. The higher (roof, wings, windows, etc) the slower the footage will look.
The GoPro is not a good A camera and you should keep that in mind when you're asking friends to watch your footage. it will probably be interesting to you but not very much to anyone else. That is unless you crash or something.
If you watch closely in this video, you can see the cameras mounted on many of the cars. However you'll notice despite having tons of angles, we barley use any of the footage from them because they're really best for adding some extra "spice"

Also, keep your videos short. Around 2 minutes or less and more people will actually watch them.
Awesome Video Hardback and thanks for posting. The road surface on this track looks more desirable. The GOPRO camera is so steady on all I have seen. I have to get myself one of those. I could even use it on shallow dives. The wide angle it produces is over the top in some cases and bends the lines way to much but under water it would not show as it doesnt on a flat road surface. Thanks again.
Holy Moly Doug I was getting car sickness with that angle. Where that camera was placed inside the car gave me the effect that I was driving, especially when you overtook on the bend. What a great video. Thanks so much and that is the same year as my 996. I will have to track mine one of these days if it's only to say that I have actually raced my car lol. I have had it up to 150 but not saying where. I lived in Germany for 5 years in the early 90s but those days I couldnt afford a 911. I would love to have blasted along the Autobahn. What is the nearest track to Lancaster PA does anyone know?
wow TD I love the display on the right of the videos. Keeps me informed as to the speeds and especially the gears used. I Thought I was good taking mine over a ton in 3rd but wow I see you get 2nd up in the 80s occassionally and take 4th up to 128mph. That GT3 is one viscious animal. You should take it onto an airfield with an extra long runway to see what the top speed is on it lol.Thanks a mil for posting.
Thanks. Ya the track surface is pretty beat up but it isn't too bad. The C4S handles it great!
I guess i was hitting about 115 or maybe 120 on the banked straight but I'm not sure. The speedometer was the last thing on my mind
Yeh I guess you can't afford to be taking your eyes off the road ahead at those speeds. Those curves come up pretty dam quickly by the looks of things. One slip and it's 'Holy Sh** time lol.
