Has anyone heard of this thing?

It sounds pretty interesting... A bit pricey (450) but it has: 1080p60 video, a OLED screen on the back of the camera, and an OBD connector. It looks like you are able to overlay a GPS map + location, speed, rpm, etc onto video.

Hyper16 · 10-05-2016, 10:32 PM

Definitely gonna check that out.

Mojave · 10-05-2016, 10:35 PM

oh that is awesome!

Genesis7 · 10-05-2016, 10:38 PM

$500 ****ing dollars?... no way, if I have a Porsche or McLaren maybe.

GhostEye07 · 10-05-2016, 10:44 PM

Probably Cheaper than the PDR from GM!

I think in the article it says the PDR is about $1750. I would imagine the GM one has a lower latency but this setup seems to have potential for those of us who do not need that kind of precision.

Personally I think this tool is perfect for sharing a weekend canyon run or maybe a drag race.

Make sure to let us know how it is so we can all decide on buying it or not!

Agreed! $500 seems very cheap for the features and quality it looks to have

If this can record lap times and Gs I'm in!

Looks good. Definitely puts my cheap $90 dash cam to shame, lol.

Here's a video that's supposed to show it in action:

Video showing a much better look at the camera quality, which looks a lot better than a GoPro IMO.

It can be used as a conventional dash cam for non-competition use too. Even though they give you a steering wheel mounted button to flag highlights in your recordings, I see they mention the ability to continuously record and automatically turn the camera on and off with the engine.

I was confused why I never heard of this company, but it turns out it spawned from a Kickstarter campaign. The early bird price was just $250. Too bad I didn't jump on this. Then again, who knows which campaigns will fail to deliver. It's a roll of the dice.

Some of you might want to check this out. Saw another forum member post a track video with this setup.

I pre-ordered myself one too *cheers*, it's good for those who are thinking of getting a GoPro anyways. I was able to get myself a GoPro, so now having 2 HD Cameras would make videos more entertaining with 2 points of view.

Not sure when the release date is, I read Oct 31st somewhere.
