Race Supplies Sydney has very recently become an agent for a very exciting product, the GoPro Motorsports Digital Video Camera. The world's smallest onboard wireless digital video camera, it is one of the cheapest units available and offers incredible picture quality!



Can and has been used in skate boarding, skiing, F2 super boats, at the race track on bikes and cars of all shapes and sizes, driving on the street, whitewater rafting, diving, swimming, surfing, snowboarding, freestyle motocross and mountain biking! What could you use it for!?! The possibilities are endless!

You won’t fully appreciate how good this camera is until you see the footage for yourself!

We have used this camera on a Porsche 996 GT2 at Bathurst during Drive Bathurst '07 at up to 292km/h and have had ZERO problems!

What do you get with the GoPro Motorsport camera? Not only the camera that shoots at 30fps with sound, but you also get multiple quick release helmet mounts that can also be applied to pretty much any surface, a suction cup that can be used inside or outside of a car/boat/bike and will withstand 150mph on an aeroplane (!) as well as a USB/RCA cable for fast download to a laptop or TV/VCR so you can see the action straight away!

Price for each unit is only $299.99 *including* delivery! Recommended Retail Price is $349.99 but we are clearing our excess stock!

A 2 gigabyte SD card (not included) will last for 56 minutes of footage and good rechargeable batteries will survive 90 minutes before needing a recharge.

If you'd like to place an order, feel free to send a PM or email us at RaceSupplies@gmail.com

Does the camera support a larger memory card and in what format are the files saved in?

cheers

How do they attach to the exterior of bike or car? I'm just wondering what kind of speeds you can do without them getting torn off

Hey mate,

2GB i'm told is the largest the camera will read. It will last for 56 mins of continuous recording.

Video's are recorded in AVI format.

There are 2 different types of 3M adhesive backed quick release clip on/clip off mounts included in the kit. The kit also includes a suction cup mount with a multitude of different plastic arms so you can get the right angle to shoot on. Essentially, the idea is to use the suction cup to test various positions and work out what you like. Then apply a 3M adhesive mount for quick release before using it. Obviously, if you like changing positions of the camera regularly, you can use the suction cup mount each time. I would personally advise a small strip of race tape over the suction cup, but GoPro assure me these camera's have been tested to 150mph on a plane and have passed with flying colours. I work on a GT2 at a Porsche Centre here in Sydney and have tested them at Bathurst on the roof with no problems, up to speeds of 292km/h down Conrod. Over 80 camera's were sold over the course of the week at Drive Bathurst '07 and the only one to suffer a problem was one that was attached to a GT3 wing that let go. Not a fault of the camera obviously!

The camera can also be set-up upside down and have it's setting changed in less than 1 minute so that the picture will be presented right way up!

If you would like to participate on the Group Buy i am running (through the AusRotary forum mainly), you are more than welcome.

The cost will be $249.99 + freight. Eastern states cost $10. SA, TAS, NT and WA are $15.

PM me or email me to put your name down for the current or next Group Buy.

They certainly are!

Have had more orders than i thought! These will be available from a few new places in NSW over the next few weeks!
RaceSupplies
Have just featured the GoPro Camera in The Circuit Club magazine.

Some of you will be familiar with it. It is both an online and printed publication that is available from some of the big shops in Australia.

The current issue is number 15.

Check it out. I have attached a low res pdf.

I will be at Wakefield Park this friday with the camera for the Circuit Club Anzac Day track day so i can attach it to a few cars and show the guys. Anyone wants to see it, feel free to drop by. I'll also have some race footage with me from Race 2 and Race 3 of the Prod Sports held at Wakefield Park about 2 weeks ago where our 996 Cup Car grabbed three 3rd places! Not bad for it's first time out biggrin.gif
RaceSupplies
I now have a heap of these in stock. Some will be sent out for the 2nd GB and others are being distributed to retailers. I will also have them available for purchase though.

Feel free to send through a PM or email us at our address below.

If any clubs in NSW would like to see these close up, feel free to send an email to GoProCamera@optusnet.com.au and i will try to arrange to get out to a track day held by the club so i can give a bit of a demonstration. Seeing these things close up and in action drives home how good they are. I can also arrange a club discount if there's enough interest.

I set up a table at the Porsche Club of NSW and had about 30 people rush over to look at the dozen camera's i had sitting there. I had never seen people so eager to throw a credit card at me! thumbsup.gif

Will certainly be arranging with clubs to come out and show them off, so anyone in Sydney who would like me to come out for the day, feel free to drop me an email. I don't want to show up uninvited so please extend an invitation! smile.gif

Will be out at Oran Park tomorrow demonstrating these camera's to a new Drift School. Will have quite a few out there for anyone interested!

Have any videos with sound up? Would be interested to hear how it sounds in a real life racing situation
RaceSupplies
Here is one from the states...

GoPro Video Footage

SCCA at Button Willow. I haven't made any personally for a few months as i've been busy selling them almost every weekend and not getting out on the track. I will hopefully have a few of me driving after a track i'm attending at Oran Park on the 7th of June.
RaceSupplies
Not sure what happened to our other thread that had quite a few responses!

We have been out to Oran Park for the last 7 or 8 weekends talking to people and selling these camera's by the dozen.

These camera's can be used for CAMS events as they are less than the 100 gram limit imposed on in-car camera's.

Look out for our new website www.goprocameras.com.au
RaceSupplies
Thanks for all of the emails about these camera's, and a special thanks to everyone who has ordered theirs!

We have another shipment arriving late this week, so we'll have camera's everywhere around here!

Make sure you email us and have yours sent out before your next track event!!! thumbsup.gif
RaceSupplies
Keep those emails coming!

Have your mates asking "Where'd you get that!?!"

Alot of people have seen them, love them, but don't know where to buy them!

Contact us and we'll be more than happy to help!

ok, i think im gonna have to get one next week, thankyou tax.

will let you know tongue.gif

whats the biggest size SD card you can put in one of these?
RaceSupplies
Hey Jay,

2GB is the largest the camera will read. It's enough to capture 56 mins worth!

Sounds like a good plan! If anyone else would like to spend some of their tax money on one, feel free to PM or email us!

RaceSupplies@gmail.com
RaceSupplies
There's no shortage of camera's available, so you won't miss out!

Plenty of track days, hill climbs, super sprints, ride days and skid pan days left so grab a camera, strap it on and get some footage to analyse where you can improve for the start of next season!

These are one of the best tools you can buy to find out what you *actually* do, not what you think you do on the track! Review your laps over and over, compare lines to see what is faster, see what other people are doing after you've followed them for a few laps.

Every little bit helps, and at this price, you can't go wrong!

how does the camera mount to the car?
RaceSupplies
Hey Hell Razor!

There are four 3M style adhesive backed mounts you can attach to a bumper or body panel (i use mine very low down which gives a fantastic sensation of speed!) or on the top of your helmet if you were to use it while riding a trail or road motor bike. For very fast mounting in different locations, there is also a Suction Cup mount which will mount to windscreens or side windows inside and out, all body panels. Anything that is smooth, it will attach to!

The mounts also dampen out vibration to keep the image as clear as possible!

Feel free to email us at RaceSupplies@gmail.com for a spec/feature sheet!

do you have some more detailed pics of the adhesive mount and the suction cap?

We have almost sold out of these camera's. We have had a very large order so the majority are getting sent out this week, but if anyone wants to take advantage of the low price we are offering, they better get in quick. We have a few sitting around which can go to individual people, otherwise they will be sent out with the rest!

We will be ordering more in the very near future, but this is the last opportunity to get in before xmas!

Cheers Luke.

Much appreciated Michael!

Many thanks to Belgarion for sorting out the issue with this thread being deleted a while ago!!!
RaceSupplies
Thanks for the emails guys!

The camera is now 100% CAMS approved for use with it's original mounts so there is now *ZERO* grey area!

You can use these at *ANY* CAMS event without copping any heat at scrutineering. They are signed off by the scrutineers when they inspect the car and you are given a letter to say it has been inspected. Couldn't be easier!

There is no longer a reason to be worried about using them on any track cars. These are good to go, but as i said, i have limited numbers left to send before xmas!
