Thumbs up Here's the first test of the camera:

70-110 punch, windows down, hardtop on, windy day.

Video seems pretty stable at speed.

The audio setting was on high, so I would suggest you switch to low audio recording, otherwise you'll get too much audio breakup.

It's personal preference, of course, but I like the camera to be mounted further back, like on the roll bar. This allows for more visual cues than windshield mounting.

In order to learn the most from a DE, you want to see what your hands are doing (inputs) as well as their result (ie. the view out the windshield). This allows for a wider field of vision on playback, not to mention that you don't have something distracting your vision as you drive.

I'm very leery about securing to your windshield with only suction cups for a HSDE (might not even be allowed). A more secure mount should be found for HSDE use.

Just my $.02.

Looks very interesting. +1 on being able to see hand position and head position as a learning tool.
