It's way better than the remote anyway.

Use it on the g6e at 180+ with the suction cup and stays solid. Wind noise is a big killer at high speed but I have seen dozens of microphone accessories for it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85082-gopro-vs-the-rest/page/5/#findComment-1393209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 3m 12d Gender: Male Posted 28/05/13 09:20 AM Share Posted 28/05/13 09:20 AM I got the silver, couldn't justify the extra for the black, paying for the wifi remote that is useless if u have a smartphone, and the slightly higher specs seemed more aimed at pros for post production. I'm happy with the silver. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85082-gopro-vs-the-rest/page/5/#findComment-1393371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just poor quality, break?Okay remote's unnecessary so probably lean more towards the silver than the black then Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85082-gopro-vs-the-rest/page/5/#findComment-1393391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 28/05/13 09:58 AM Share Posted 28/05/13 09:58 AM We do drive throughs scoping road damage and auditing of large roadwork sites.. So the cheapies work okay for say the auditing, because you are usually looking at machines and road signs, but when you need high detail and the ability to capture stills from the video the contours and go pros are used.. Also should mention that some of our scoping work has been done 130kmh+ and we still got good pictures on the GoPro and contours..We use in cab mounting (windscreen usually),when we need to give commentary and mount it centre of nose or on the flat of the bullbar when we don't need sound..
