2019 using this more modern setup, during a week in the Alps. RaceRender is well aware of the GoPro's data formatting, so importing both the video and data from the GoPro's memory-card output is a non-issue. And the stabilization just makes for a smoother video. The GoPro's GPS has a much higher sampling rate, so the speed display is nice and smooth (except in tunnels and other places without a GPS signal, in which case the data go bonkers). Also, that saves my mounting a second device for the videos. That's why you can see the speed display going up in spurts, instead of smoothly, as the telemetry data catches up to reality. Using a phone for telemetry is kind of clunky, because its sampling rate is only 1 Hz. The 7 adds two things that are important to me: its own built-in GPS for telemetry, and a remarkably well-written software-based stabilization (which they call Hypersmooth). The Hero 7 (and GoPro is now up to Hero 8 versions) is a tremendous improvement over the 4. That is, no more phone in the loop, for either GPS capability or as a runner of TrackAddict.
However, last year I moved to a simpler and much better setup: a GoPro Hero 7 Silver Black camera, and then RaceRender. See my sub-galleries Non-Sportbike Track Day, Palmer, MA, 08-22-2016 and Non-Sportbike Track Day, Palmer, MA, for pics and other video links of those days. That was the same setup I used in 2016 at the same track ( Palmer Motorsports Park), except that year I had the GoPro suction-cup-mounted on the front of the windshield (which is a better way to do it, IMHO). RaceRender is a much more sophisticated piece of software than Dashware, or whatever basic data-overlaying software comes standard with GoPro cameras lately. The final combined product was the video above (and many more for other sessions throughout that day), based on configuring RaceRender to display the data in certain ways (e.g., the track map, the speed, etc.). Additionally, I had an iPhone 6 mounted on a RAM ball, for telemetry data (e.g., speed, altitude, position) via the phone's built-in GPS, running an app called TrackAddict ( TrackAddict for iOS & Android by HP Tuners).īack home, the video and data were entered into a product called RaceRender ( RaceRender 3 Video+Data by HP Tuners | Features). was made with a GoPro Hero 4 Silver, rigidly mounted on a handlebar crossbar, doing the video work.
