Rallye Saguenay 2013, SS1, Spalinger/Dennis

This is the first external, long form video of a stage that I have captured for the team.  We have had prior video capture capabilities but I have not gotten my hands on the files or recorded them on a device I personally owned.

The video was captured on a ReplyXD 720 via a roof mounted position.  The video is available to watch in HD if you wish but is shown here in low defininition. The external microphone makes a mess of any audio in the video as you hear only the wind and such for the most part.

SS1 was a tight and rough (for the rally cars at least) stage.  We were slow due to driver caution and lack of confidence.  The truck itself performed well with no issues of any kind.  Dust was really bad if you closed with the rear of anyone which you can see we did not do here...

Sony Action Cam Review...

Since I would like to capture more of my on stage rallying in '13 than I captured in '12 I have been looking at various action cameras like the GoPro series which is likely the best known in the business.  Seeing the Sony mentioned got my attention as while GoPro is the industry standard it is also fairly expensive and other up and comers might have a better price point and features.

Evidently Sony's Action Cam is a mixed bag with most of the mixed bag being of the negative variety.  Read for yourself Wired's review here: Sony Action Cam Review...
