GoPro HD HERO camera: Qualifying Lap at Thunderhill

[MrGarbezzy]

Wat open wheel racer is tht? If any1 knows, thanks every much

[MrRacinGas]

@MrGarbezzy If I had to guess I'd say Formula 3 car, but I'm not sure.

[BighaMac]

lol, if u don't know the truck u're dead at every turn!

[951scottyboy]

Love the pass at 0:48

[miliziametallica]

Faster faster faster and kill yourself! Seriously!

[limitedslip]

Great video!

How do you guys get such great sound though?

I get TONS of wind noise on my videos.

[TheHeadFoneBoy]

The audio sucks but the image Wonderfull

[flrockbandfreak]

whats better?? head strap or chest harness? this is for skimboarding

[rebelyellcrew]

@flrockbandfreak skimboarding is gay as fuck

[flrockbandfreak]

@rebelyellcrew cuz u cant do it

[rebelyellcrew]

@flrockbandfreak throw a board and jump on it? omg so hard

[flrockbandfreak]

@rebelyellcrew cant do tricks, pop shuvits, curve the wave.. etc.

[pagani8]

I see, however how do you know the conditions of the track? It looked quite damp to me. And, how do you how this car handles?

[Blackhawk9188]

Why do those radical drivers never pay attention on track. They are dangerous.

[Doggieman1111]

excellent driver, obviously had done that track many times before.

[ZZAKON]

Basic driving.... not good at all.

He doesn't accelerate at all where he can do it...

No guts!

[Dylans503]

@ZZAKON stfu that was fucking perfect, its not possible to go much faster. he had it pinned. hes a fucking professional you dumb fuck

[pagani8]

@ZZAKON I'll bet if you did it your way you'd spin out immediately.

[ZZAKON]

@pagani8

Never bet on someone you don't know anything about. Keep that for your life, not for me... bcause of course I wont speak about it here. I wouldn't make that comment if I was a newb... And especially you... know what Im speaking about.

[ebouwman034]

@ZZAKON fucking troll

[manjithestraights]

@ZZAKON Learn to spell and formulate sentences, Faggot.

[ZZAKON]

@manjithestraights

Learn to use what's left from your mind to understand what I mean, you think like a little virgin girl.

[WarLock0722]

I have a question : So, can I mount the camera to a roll-bar if I buy the motorsport kit? Or do I have to buy the roll-bar mount additionally? If I have to buy it, can I just get off with the HD Hero 960.

[finnrambo1]

holy fuck...

[OnwanashiboNarfall]

Awesome to hear that beast

[benitoC3PO]

Who is the driver?

[Armadillo0014]

Are you driving for a team? or is this a self-bought competition?

[MrDirtbikerMan]

i would need a new pair of pants

[Despiser25]

Football, Baseball, Hockey, all just childrens games when compared to this... So says Hemmingway, and me :) The pucker must have created some serious PSI. Im thinkin equivalent to the Mariana Trench or Challenger Deep kinda PSI LOL...

[bashatonic]

classic playstation one overtake manouevre :)

[zr1drifter]

When he was passing that car on the grass I was like," HOLY SHIT you're going to wreck!"

[sandman1071]

Would love to get this cam... but with no support for external michrophone... I'll have to find something else. As with most orther cameras in this segment.. sound quality is really shit compared to say a regulare DV-camera.

[JohnMarineTube]

Stellar drive by this racer! To anyone who thinks this video needs music (I wouldn't hate on trance because I love trance music myself), you're hearing it- the beautiful roar of that engine. Isn't it a beautiful soundtrack? Anyhow, I'm glad to see this video after seeing a similar commercial on TV.

[johnnie5ive]

is it supposed to "fish eye"? it kinda looks like it, or is it just the cuz its mounted on top?

[peoplemessup]

I think he won that race.

[djandreaa]

WOW!!!!!!

[MrOlimar]

This is SO much better than Nascar... Honestly the fact that we have that shitty sport instead of this one makes me sad to be an American.

[squirlybmx]

@MrOlimar We have Indy >.>

[buttheadsface]

Your CEO must have titanium dipped nuggets if can pass 2 Radicals on the grass.

Great video and great product!

[mxmayhem]

you should really consider testing these out in nascar. that would be epic

[420sketch]

what sort of qualifying lap involves fighting off traffic...stupid

[Pendemic]

Yea 0:51 what the fuck was that about? What an ass...

[simplybmg]

0:51 omg excellent control 

[ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

the rolling shutter is killing me :(

[RoTio24]

rippin sooooo hard

[hamslammer69]

Laguna Seca!

[crazybmxer876]

Was the suction cup mout used for this video?

[TheOriginalQuestion]

Held up in traffic twice... gutted

[BillyNoMate]

awesome tune! beats any shithouse ;)

[KTMtippa86]

0:59

i didnt know them cars had reverse ;D

[ArgentinianCreep]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAHHH!

[Devisty]

Man formula one car drivers are insane XD

[TonihGangstar]

FUCK this is crazy

[Jam3zz07]

at 1:28 he passes a radical ;)

[Frankpro1]

Why are the majority of Go Pro HD videos on youtube in 4:3 format? Shouldn't HD video be in 16:9 or 16:10?

[GoProCamera]

@Frankpro1 The HD HERO has 5 resolution modes. In r4 mode, it shots at 960p, which is an HD 4:3 format. Many times it is advantageous and/or necessary to use a taller field of view, and that is when this resolution mode becomes a shot saver. Videos you see shot in r4 (960p @ 30fps) will typically be edited to playback in their native 4:3 aspect ratio. Don't be fooled by the aspect ration, High Definition is determined by the lines of resolution - not aspect ratio.

[Frankpro1]

@GoProCamera Thanks for the info.

[blockheadface]

@GoProCamera Does the camera have the ability to use an external microphone?

[Parti0San]

@GoProCamera but:

full hd means 1920x1080 pixels.

if you cut 4:3-format of 960 to a 16:9-format you get 1280x720 pixels, which is so called 'half hd' only.

true, isn't it?

[PilotX44]

Whats the point of the flashing lights on his steering wheel. Are they there to look cool?

[telf10]

@PilotX44 rpm

[jcarlson2727]

@PilotX44 - more lights = higher rpm = better think about shifting soon..

[odracirseraoseia1999]

@PilotX44 Dude and you call yourself "pilot". LOL.

[PilotX44]

@odracirseraoseia1999 We have gauges not flashing lights

[odracirseraoseia1999]

@PilotX44 The deduction should not be a stretch...

[PilotX44]

@odracirseraoseia1999 those light tell you when to shift and the rpm. Do you know of any that do that on a plane?

[PilotX44]

@odracirseraoseia1999 tell me what the steering wheel of a formula 1 race car and the panel of a plane have in common. Because theres a lot more brains to have to fly a plane then to push a peddle down.

[odracirseraoseia1999]

@PilotX44 It's 'paddle', not 'peddle'. And that is not a Formula 1 race car. How many pilots in activity are there? Thousands throughout the world. How many F1 racing drivers? Less than thirty.

[PilotX44]

@odracirseraoseia1999 Oh im so sorry. The only reason theres so few is because the companys want the best of the racers

[damianrawle]

you did it all wrong. you're supposed to put a shithouse trance tune over the top of it so we can't hear the engine. take a tip from everyone else who uploads driving videos here

[EmilGlockner]

@damianrawle: NO! BY ALL MEANS, NO!!! JUST DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. ONLY DEAF PEOPLE WOULD SWAP ENGINE NOISE FOR CRAP NO-ONE LIKES TO HEAR!

[damianrawle]

@EmilGlockner sarcasm mate ;)

[tomsk8er]

Is there any software you have to buy to get rid of the wind noise? if not how does it work??

[J4AProductions]

@tomsk8er tape some cottton infront of the mic

[Str8representing]

What formula car is that?

[GoProCamera]

@Str8representing Stohr F1000

[leloodallasmultipass]

where the hell is the 009 sound system? I can't watch this crap without space and time.

[Rusty2540]

@leloodallasmultipass

lolololol

[ReidHarris7]

@leloodallasmultipass lol totally sarcasm right? :P

[masterDJ32]

someone stole my new gopro <\3  :(

[sheeplikesganja]

@Life4Blackberry you do it then :L

[spacko1990]

i love my new go pro:-D

[BlackCavalier52]

*thumbs up* just for keeping your foot in it while passing in the grass - great car control

looking forward to using my GoPro in autox for the first time next week

[thewhitebrazilian]

they gotta make a fucking interactive youtube game out of this

[StrawberryMcmuffin]

nice but show a crash next time LOL

[TJTHEDJful]

This is really cool and the camera it self is something that is going to be a very big seller this summer with allof the outdoor people.I would love to see some of the football players have them in their helmets while playing the game and that would be real cool video clips.

[sexyskatersam]

@TJTHEDJful they would look so retarded

[porkyshrea]

that was a insane crazy pass holy fak

[wally19]

we need more of this kinds of racing videos! very good video!

[keyes817]

this is sickk, i would very much like to go race car drivingg

[Despiser25]

@keyes817 You can, iRacing.com. I have raced many Pro driver on the service. Most notably Dale Jr but SKinner, Almendinger, Ambrose top name a few. Very fun but if you want the true "balls factor" then u need to start in carts and move up from there.

[TheSchoegglnator]

is this an f1 race?

[wardy92]

@TheSchoegglnator more likely to be a formula 3 car

[AnAngryPossom]

@wardy92 It's not Formula 3 either, I think it might be a Formula Worlds car but i'm not sure.

[AnAngryPossom]

@TheSchoegglnator Nope this car is much much smaller and less powerful. I think it's a Formula Worlds car that's why there are other class cars in the race as well.

[TheSchoegglnator]

@AnAngryPossom whatever it is i want one

[AnAngryPossom]

@TheSchoegglnator I will second that man that'd be the sickest ride ever

[zcheffcopo]

great camera! Worth every penny.

[sloneracing]

1:43 Lap time.... NICE! you finally beat me.... LOVE THE NEW LOOK;  GoPro BLUE BABY!

[loopper9]

they ate this guys dust, super ultra camera!

[godofwar09]

man i want that cam on my car

[Galileo430]

@godofwar09 Forget the camera. I want the car.

[CostasAthan]

If you look carefully at the bottom of the video there is a waving (like in the case the filmed object is underwater). What causes that? Besides that the image is very clear!

[bulversteher]

@CostasAthan That's known as Jello effect. It's in the very nature of the CMOS sensor that is used in the camera. CCD sensors don't have that but suffer from other defects.

[CostasAthan]

@bulversteher Thanks man! I appreciate your help!

[streetwiseburger]

Now GoPro just needs to develop GPS and ECU Data Overlay software on the already amazing HD Hero!

[streetwiseburger]

0:50 You got skillz!

[ChunkyMilkProduction]

holy crap thats fast

[thefirstconno]

you raced the track like a wizard

[yuyu2006jp]

The machine protrudes beyond the course.

It is dangerous for a moment.

[Fastmag]

Very nice. I love my HD Hero cam. I am seeing your cams pop up every where now. Keep up the good work.

[Bansheeflyr]

No way i live right near this track, so cool to see it in HD like that.

[SteenJdaPenspinna]

cool
