Yeah I think it depends on how you have it setup. They have internal mic gain adjustment, this needs to be adjusted to get the best sound from incar. Keen to get it on the track and test it out though

Did a little bit of testing with the camera today with the car in the garage.

Most of the video modes are 135 deg fov (field of view), including the mode I had planned to use, 720p 60fps. It's clear that 135 deg is way too wide. The image is too far away and shows slight curving.

The only video mode that is not 135 deg is 1080p 30fps, which is 111 deg. This appears to be much better and shows the entire windscreen in view from my mounting point on the roll cage cross bar. Need to get it on track to know fully how good this will be though.

Sound looks promising, the mic gain adjustment looks like I should be able to find a setting that gives good sound, again though this is something that needs to be tested on track at full noise.

All in all though a big improvement on my existing incar camera, the MD80. This will now be used on the rear bumper, and I bought a second one which will go on the front bumper.

Just need to get back out to the track now for a play

Upgrading from md80 is a massive one!

Check out my videos. It is from Kodak Playtouch under 760p at 60f setting.

Custom roll cage mount, will post a pic when I finish it

the stupid contour have no typical screw thread at the bottom...FAIL!

most of these type of camera don't.

And personally I wouldn't rely on that type of mount for incar use.

Yep there are plenty of mount options available for them.

That suction mount looks the same as the GoPro one, just with a different adapter to fit the camera.

This little number could solve all your mounting issues

U didn't look hard enough Try from $15 And u'd probably get em quicker than this dodgy aussie importer Did you check out their website. 24K gold facial masks

The $15 ones don't come with sd cards and things like that. They come with USB cable, glasses and case, so you get more from this one.

It's VGA at most...will not have good enough video quality.
