I have some perspex I got from an old switch board and I am going to cut into little sqares and sika them to various places on the tray and under the ute

Hey Ben,

I bought a few different mounts for mine mate and could near on mount it anywhere now. i have 2 different Grab rail styles for the bull bar or even the light bar i reckon no trouble, or the grab rail inside.

I am assuming your using the perspex as a mount to use the suction cup style mount to?

Make sure once you have the memory card that the first thing you do is the update as the wifi will not work and wont link to your phone for a remote control unless the update is done. Found out the hard way!!

I bought 2 Micro SD cards from China and they arrived in 3 days mate!they are Sandisk Brand and i think they will be fine. Saved a heap of cash. ;)

These mounts are awesome!
Also what I got was the tripod mount and you can mount it to whatever you have an m8 possibly an m6 bolt mounted to. Spring clamps work great. Ill post some pics of the mounts I've made for mine

Yeah I bought the tripod mount too. Very handy as it then gives you a thread option as cbates says. I have an extension pole off a level tool I have and it screwed straight to the tripod mount so have it for an extension stick. Nice one.

Also I shot some vid on the weekend and had it out of he case and hand held. It was really sensitive and shaky! Get the handle post for it if your going hand held as it will allow you to hold it much firmer.

Here's a pic of the hand mount I made with the tripod attachment

Hey Daz I'm working on uploading the footage that I took on the weekend, the position I had the camera in is no good really, can't see in front at all but can see the front wheel lift right off the ground a few times.

Yeah my door shot is OK to see how the front wheel is working but is way to far back on the car. Front quarter panel or the bonnet I think?

Yeah front quarter, bonnet vibrates too much I had it on there at first. I think the lower the better too. Mine was too low and watching back the videos got smacked about by little branches and stuff sticking out.

You trying to get some flex angles? I just mounted it on the front bar but now I have a new toy time to find a new spot fun and games

I went for a drive to mother mountain today to get my go pro settings, It was 2wd tracks I found a bit of a rut to play in and got some high speed stuff which I am pretty happy with.

The only problem is I accidentially wiped the vids some how... spewin :(

Bugger Ben! How did you delete the files mate? I am not sure how you'd trip over that? are you sure they are not on the SD card?
