My second track day......video inside

Glad to hear RC worked out for you. This program might require a lot of moves to get the data to show what you want, but it does work.
A few questions:
-what type of data logger (phone) are you using?
-Still using the elph camera--the video was very good; mine is still fuzzy but not as bad--it may have to be replaced.

Nausea in the passengers seat--I used to get this all the time, but has diminished with Bonine or Dramamine.

Regarding the camera mount--yours looked very stable; how did you secure it to the rear view mirror?
If you ever decide to move it to the roll bar, chase cam makes a nice mount for about $40 that will work there.

Hello Mike.

I bought the Qstarz 818XT and ran it at 10hz. I used RaceChrono on my Motorola Droid X2 phone to capture the data from the Qstarz. I'm still using my Elph 300hs camera. I THINK the image stabilization feature helped to reduce the fuzziness from car/engine vibrations.

For a good laugh, I'll post a picture of the mount when I have time. It's basically a three legged Gorilla Pod tripod wrapped around my rear view mirror (mirror still very usable) and reinforced with two big rubber bands. I'll check into the chase cam roll bar mount for next time.

I'll have to take some dramamine with me the next time I go.....just in case another opportunity arises.

Thanks again.....the additional data on the vids sure make them more fun to watch. I'm still very envious of ChrisZang's videos though
