all right guys so here we are with the
GoPro camera in the non-waterproof case
and spite of the fact that it is sprinkling a little bit because we're not going to be going over 100 miles an
hour yes we're definitely not going to be doing that today uh especially not in
the super Civic which is my car
um because it gives you better sound recording
in that mode okay so I want to show you guys sort of okay here here here first
first let's let's go with the car so I'm supposed to attach it kind of here right
cameraman lower okay cameraman says I
should attach it lower on the car so you can see how dirty my car is I'm using a
ShamWow to clean my car okay so Vince
would be proud there we go what about
that yes it's dirty I know oh put it here okay he wants me to
put it more like a here okay so cameraman can't make it his mind apparently now my ShamWow is forever
ruined except I can just wash it and it'll be just fine New Again great okay
so I'm going to be taking the uh I've actually extended this as much as
possible with the included mounting hardware so if I loosen this one a
little bit I have all this flexibility in terms of mounting I can go like this
I can go like here you can see I can move it like this okay so I'm going to
go ahead going to stick the suction cup on press the button
and it is suction cup so in theory the camera doesn't fall off even if I'm
going along on the highway so just undo
this now you have lots of other mounting options too you have the uh chest tripod
which is not part of the mounting options that are oh that's a bad sign
okay just a second I must have done it wrong hold on hold on just okay
cameraman helped me get it on there it's on there good now so yeah it's all good
everything is okay so there you go right I was going to show you the other
mounting options so you've got little double-sided curvy things so if I were
to mount it somewhere curved like say for example here I'd put that there and
then I can mount the GoPro onto there or
there's a flat one so if I were mount it somewhere flat like say for example here
I can put it there all right you've got a couple of different arms that'll clip
directly onto those so if you were to put it say for example on the roof of
your car then you might just take this one put that there and then you can clip
the GoPro in like this and it
will if you can ever the thing through
there you go then it'll sit on top of your car like that so you have different
options but we are going to be using the complicated option because that is what
we do we take the most elaborate
possible way of doing things and we do it okay so my car is going to look
really stupid with this one clean spot on it now but whatever that is not
cameraman's concern apparently
Okay so we're going to go ahead and
screw this bad boy in
here okay that doesn't seem that good but whatever there we are
almost in almost in all the
way there we go okay so the camera is
attached we can adjust everything and then we're going to go ahead and fasten
everything pretty good so hopefully this is sort of pointed in the right
direction when we actually start driving the vehicle
now okay well cameraman's going to get the manual right now but I'm pretty sure
that I've got it figured out I think I'm recording in
1080P and I think that it is uh working
so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put it into the little
case now bear in mind that I'm turning it on before I put it in the case but I
don't think that is necessarily the more correct way to do it I think you
can actually turn it on after you put it in the case because that's what the
buttons are here for so the button on the front is for uh turning the unit on
as well as changing settings and then the button on the top allows us to cycle
through the settings to change and then it also starts recording when we're ready to do that so let's get the car
started up here and uh see if we can catch cameraman coming out of the
building with the instruction manual there
well that's something we didn't think of mounting it on the door let's see if I
open the door all the way no it won't quite mash the GoPro against the side of
the car
oh
so I should probably do a text disclaimer as well but yeah uh you know
how the caption usually says professional driver on a closed course
do not attempt this blah blah blah this was an unprofessional driver in a
completely unauthorized area do not attempt this so this is just me screwing
around in the Uber Civic do not try that we're just going to turn the GoPro off
here and uh then we're going to go ahead
and remove it take the suction cup off of my car there you go I'm actually just
going to turn the unit off so that's with the front button here so the LCD
displays all kinds of useful information actually I guess I don't really need to
take it out of there for now I'll just throw that back in there and then let's
just go ahead and pull the suction cup off the car and uh head back inside as
if nothing happened so thanks for checking out this episode of lonus tech tips about the GoPro don't forget to
