Ur mullet is amazing!
Solid advise here people! Exposure is where the magic happens! Thanks Dan!
A true man of the people right here...humble enough to give away the secrets...and yet still, you're videos always have that extra sauce 👌💯💪
Some golden nuggets, cheers dan
Thanks for the all the advices Dan !
Yes Dan
Great video Dan . Cheers 👍
Great advice Dan! Will use this on my own GoPro
Thank for the tips. Recently tried separate audio recorder, gopro along with track addict when was at bedford autodrome recently. The expose setting would of came in handy as was alot of trial and error on the day.
This'll come in handy for whenever I finally get a GoPro lol
Great tips Dan. Thank you.
Great video Dan. What video editing software do you use ? Keep up the great work.
Will be using these tips next time I’ve got a cam in.
Yes Danny! One of AdamLZ's latest videos was so overexposed you couldn't see any of the outside haha! I use the Hero4 and it looks great still 😄
Been waiting for this for so long! Appreciate the advice I deffo need my camera mounted higher and the lower ev setting will hopefully help cheers
Just seen a post on Facebook regarding you're record breaking lap ! Don't even follow or subscribe to you on there so cool to see as a long time youtube subscriber from way back !
Good work!
Great PSA Dan, I hate watching a onboard footage where you can't even see the road because the whole windscreen is glowing brighter than the sun.
Glad your able to drive skyline loop! best mountain loop in the bay area
Interesting name
@ Couple names for it. We locals know it by that name, or there is boulder creek loop, castle rock. It’s a good spot for learning skill that’s for sure
Class video 👌
Nice to know I wasn't the only person to realize this lol. First things I normally do with a gopro is turn off hypersmooth and set EV to -0.5. Maybe I should try -1.0 to see how that does 🤔...
I was -1.5 at the weekend, despite it being overcast british december. Looked great. I guess its a style..
Thanks for sharing the secrets. You touched on camera placement but I would add hands and steering wheel should always be in frame pointing forward for any onboard driving video. Pointing at the windshield/windscreen, nose cam or pointing it at the driver tells the viewer nothing.
I’m not 100% what you mean here.
I would always try to mount either centrally or on the B pillar. Pointing at the windscreen gives the camera the best chance to get the lighting right. Steering wheel should be visible for driving inputs, but it would be my preference for the exterior to take priority.
If you're racing it also depends on what the regs say. Some say that you must be able to see the forward view, steering wheel and pedals from one camera.
@@dannyDC2 I like the way you have it setup. I was referring to setups where the camera is suction mounted to the windscreen or dash but all you see is the outside and a bit of the dash. I like to see the drivers hand inputs. Your videos are always great viewing because you give those angles plus pedal cam!
There seems to be 2 types of video styles: Top Gear and Best Motoring. I would classify yours as Best Motoring/Hot Version which is my personal favorite. If you're familiar with JayEmm, I would consider that Top Gear style. The big production guys like Henry Catchpole and Throttle house are more Top Gear style with the crazy angles.
@@ErewhonGB That sounds perfect to me. So many pro racing series get this wrong or the teams are just being clever so there is no incriminating onboard footage in the event of an incident. I stopped watching a lot of Ring Lap videos because of too many angles that should be in one.
So hypersmov on right?
Danny thanks for making a really useful vid! Though, I wish you’d fking made this about 5yrs ago 😂I’ve ruined soo much track footage in fancy machines and so have my mates 😆😆
lol sorry, its been on my list for so long
What should I do about hypersmooth?
Did I stutter?
Is he in the us of an again?? Thanks for the secrets danny
So Hypersmooth off then Dan?
i thought it was clear
dan what mic you using in the engine bay?
Tascam DR05 with a generic lav but not sure i'd recommend quite a complex setup
@dannyDC2 thanks Dan - Nas
any chance of a POV tutorial?
Would the exposure and hyper smooth settings still be correct if it was externally mounted on a roll cage? I have a Caterham style kit car and want to get decent tracksay footage. Also what go pro do you recommend for quality and features. Currently use a Hero 7 White and it's crap! I have a budget of around £300
if its statically mounted anywhere there's no need for hypersmoth. If it acted just as a stabiliser like with other action cameras maybe you could leave it on, but it doesn't.
I'd buy a Hero 12 if I were you
@dannyDC2 thanks 👍
Also be reeeeally careful not to fatfinger the thing into photo or timelapse mode. its a special kind of disappointment when you go to check the vids of a great day and realise you have basically nothing!
thanks for tips though, will try them out next time.
Everyone’s done it!
Your in the USA !! I seen the speed limit sign !
Feels like the kind of video Donut occasionally did yonks ago but i don’t remember one on onboards - from them or anyone else!
Hope this one blows up 👍
Tail of the Dragon?
No seems to look like out west somewhere
editing video next then!
No chance lol
@
Boo!
Need to know how you put the rear camera on the roof of the front camera view!
