Just don't put them behind the unwiped bit of the windscreen when it is raining :rolleyes:
They disappeared with North One Sport... To my knowledge, the new promoter uses different kind of cameras.Quote:

Teams/drivers might still have some pre-2006 material... I don't know what has happened to 2006-->end of NOS era onboards, last confirmed sighting of them is in cardboard boxes in some London office, where they were packed for shipment to FIA office in Paris because of the promoter ambiguities.
Very good point.Quote:

Lucky escape for @MadsOstberg and @SebOgier between the flying finish and stop line on SS8 Rallye Monte Carlo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDgtWzyMTD0 …
Are these people serious about their job????
Wow, that really is quite something... At least we don't have to worry about the WRC shutting down You Tube channels for copyright infringement, they seem to encourage it, even in its crappiest form! :laugh:Quote:

Some issues around a lack of TV coverage certainty and last-minute live filming in the service park.

While nobody has expected miracles from RedBull; I don't think they've done anything fantastic. The 'new' WRC website is only slightly better than the old one - more an evolution than a new model (quite apt for Rallying... ;) ).
Are they planning an app? Also, there is more to Promotion than just TV.....
Finally, I'm not too keen on the Promoter inspired return to the 'generic' WRC event - running from Thursday night to Sunday lunchtime...... WRC events should be diverse and different.
What sort of sums do the teams have to pay the promoter? I would have thought the teams' have every right to complain as they are essentially customers of Red Bull Media.Quote:

You can't always have it both ways.
I think the FIA have increased their prices to the manufacturers, not necessarily the promoter.
If you can make a proper mount to fit on the outside of the right ear on the drivers seat it's perfect and shouldn't be in the way of helmets either.
I did it in the Fiesta WRC here but it's not sturdy enough with the go pro sticky mount and a three joints.
Gopro2 is set to medium wide angel here.

On top of the co drivers ear with wide angel, didn't angel it high enough here so the spot meter hit the dash instead of the road so it's a bit bright. Using medium wide angel makes it easier to hit that sweet spot. Got a LCD screen now to make it easier to set up :)

This is about as good as it gets, not sure how it's mounted here but i think it's on the drivers seat ear. It's filmed with a VIO POV HD anyway.

Aaaah, so it´s you who makes those very nice vids...? The last one is SUPER. I´ve loved once it came out. That´s how all incar should be filmed. Mycket gott! Hälsa Mads och Jonas.
