I was just a about to buy a 3 but that's a good price. I like the idea on a 3 being able to turn on and off with a controller or app which saves climbing over the cage or whatever to turn it on ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

How does that Surf version compare to the Motorsport version? I'd imagine it's obviously more water resistant - but does it compromise on sound for example?It's a good price! ________________________________________  |

The only difference is the mounting kit you get in the box - suckers and arms and whatnot. The camera and the sealed plastic case are the same.The sound is pretty abysmal from these - you're best off getting an external microphone off the bay for a fiver and drilling a hole in a spare plastic case. |

I'd probably just buy a roll cage mount and be done with it.I'd have no need for any sports attachements as such - although a sucker or 2 for placing it on windows could be useful perhaps. £204 for a 3.  Is that from a reputable seller within the UK Ash?________________________________________ |

I've just bought a 3 silver edition from eBay for £197 delivered. Came after a couple of days and with the skeleton back door fitted the sound quality is fairly decent. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

welshpug! wrote: just get a decent mount and a Video capable DSLR Have you got any examples of in car vids with a DSLR? Every vid I have done with mine turns out jurky when ever the camera is moved so thought it would be worse in a bumpy track car. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I'm wanting a gopro instead for track but seems a waste having two cameras! ________________________________________ The 205205 GTI6 For Sale Off Racing! |

GoPro2 is totally fine unless you're producing it for TV or HQ video stream.GP3 is mint though, the way it handles exposure changes is fantastic ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

Good price is that just a bare camera or motorsport kit? Just bare camera with a couple of sticky mounts, i didn't think the 3's came as the motorsport edition only the 2's. I bought the roll cage mount seperately for around £18 delivered, then a few spare pivot arms as i wanted to try and move the camera lower from the roll cage. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
