Which Go Pro camera would you get?

[1978 NYB]

I'm trying to figure out which Go Pro camera to get. Mostly to record 1/4 mile runs at the track. I have read reviews about the Go Pro 9 and the Go Pro MAX 360 and all the reviews just talk in circles. I can't get a definitive answer on which one would be the best for the track.

I have the Sto N Go front bumper camera mount so at least that part is figured out.

Anybody have any insight on which one would be best at the track and recording 1/4 mile runs???

On one uBoob vblogger I'm following he had mucho problems with a GP 360°, mainly with it staying on. I think he sent one back and exchanged it only to (last I checked) is trying another brand.

Another vbloger that knows his electronics was always complaining about his 4k GoPro always crashing when recording 4k. I don't know which model number (I can't keep up) but I imagine it was whatever model was first to offer 4k.

The YouTubers I watch who've used the GoPro 360 haven't been a big fan of it, most've said just don't bother buying it.

If you do wanna go the Gopro route, definitely get the Hero 9 Black, it's horizon leveling feature should help a ton while filming from a car. here's a review of it in 1.5mins


But there is another alternative called the DJI Osmo Action it is cheaper and it's a really good alternative.
here's a head to head video of them two- you can skip ahead to the 6min mark to see the test footage.


also, remember to get the protective cases for them...will help a ton on a car or if you're trying to attach one to a set piece 8 ft of the ground while basically hanging upside down...don't ask me how I know...

Bob, duct tape me to the roof and I'll hold the camera.

You can just stand up and record with the camera!

As good as the footage might be, the extra drag won't help your times.

I will order an aero efficient helmet for Stan....

I put a Go-Pro mount at the leading edge of the sunroof. It can be used with the roof closed, open or vented. Also the view from that vantage might be better for a trip down the strip rather than ahead of the car. Or do both

I have a Sto N Sho mount for the front license plate so I didn't have to drill any holes in the front bumper.

I just ordered the camera mount from Sto N Sho.

But I will try your sunroof shot too.

Thanks!!!!

Have you considered a high quality dash cam? Price is roughly the same, maybe less, with more functionality.

Plus any chance to use duct tape is preferred.

But can you imagine the hits we could get on Youtube when the video of Stan taped to the roof going down strip is released.
