Default Good quality onboard videos

Some good quality videos from today, no cheap spy cams here. Just crank up the volume especially on the "rearward video"

Test boat is my 60" mono and todays highest GPS reading was 73.6 k's (46mph) using the second X482 mod prop on calm fresh water.

Right click and 'save target as' or 'save link as'

[link=http://sonicracingaustralia.com/v/rw.wmv]Rearward video. 40mb, 3min 30 sec[/link]

[link=http://sonicracingaustralia.com/v/fw.wmv]Forward video. 31mb, 3min[/link]

[link=http://sonicracingaustralia.com/v/lp.wmv]Edited compilation video. 44mb, 4min[/link] Includes footage from rearward, forward and from the shore.

Screen shots.







Cheers, Danny.

That's good stuff. I don't know if it's the camera or what, but it amazes me sometimes how much that motor bounces around in there.

Thanks guys, It's the camera moving around a little. If it were too solid, there would be too much vibration. The engine and pipe are quite stable if you watch the spark plug cap in relation to the bottom half of the ariel at the rear, there's not much movement.

Cheers, Danny.

Hi Wayne, Videos are working fine, could be just high traffic as over 6 gigs have been downloaded in the last 12 hours.

Cheers, Danny.

Here's the camera I used wayne. You can pick up a cheapy or two on Ebay but only spend as much as your happy to loose the first time it gets dunked.



The cheaper one is the one I use on the boats. Can't wait to put it on the Carbon Quad.

Cheers, Danny.

280 ?........ I started with an X482. From 63 k's before to now doing over 73 k's on calm water, 10 k difference says the mods I've done are working just fine to me.

Cheers, Danny.
