i'll try and post something this weekend! still trying to remember how to use the editing program and need to convert stuff on my mac
I had a hard time... Dashware or harry's lap timer only allows you to use one lap time data for each video. So What I did was create 3 videos then put them together using adobe premier. Let me know if you figure out another way to do it.
Oh sweet! I didn't even know you could overlay the data on the video! Can I ask you how you did it? I should have just taken video with my iphone, but the quality isn't as good.

I used the Dashware software.. and took the .csv file from harry's lap timer. Loaded the vid I wanted on dashware then the .csv file (lap) for the video.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if you could pull the wiper relay or something to prevent that...

Yeah, the contrast isn't great, but it's a great learning tool.

No contrast issues if you track with the top down.

I agree. I like seeing what I'm doing through the turn. Great way to see what needs to be improved. I never had any issues with my contour. The contour allows you to manually set up the exposure/ contrast. I hope gopro would do the same besides just having 2 settings.
