I'm late to the game but I really want to get onboard with GoPro.

1). What is the best method, place and hardware to set up in a 914

2). What version of the GoPro is optimal for the teener in all of us

3). Tips and tricks working with and maximising the value of the camera/software


Thanks for your thoughtful responses in advance. I can't imagine buying anything car related without checking here first. Hi,....my name is Ben and I'm a worldaholic....

All of the video's I've taken over the past few years have been with an original GoPro Hero (you can see them on the website link below) Previously, I had used a Sony Handicam...you can certainly tell the difference! and...I saved the videos from the GoPro in much lower resolution than what the original was - 1 minute is something like 100MB of memory.!!!

In Huey, we use the suction cup mount allowing us to move it around. In Papa Smurf, we have a Motorsports clamp style mount (comes in the kit) that's clamped to the roll cage.

If you get an older GoPro, or GoPro 2, I sell a button that can be plugged into the back so you can turn it on 'remotely'. Its a wire connection - not bluetooth or anything like that - but it works very well and allows you to mount the camera anywhere and turn it on and off. I have one mounted in dash of both cars (I have one with an LED light too) I don't know if it works with the newer versions.
