[QUOTE="Mjolnir, post: 1040203, member: 4958"] here's my videos. I was testing different cameras between the Waylens, 360Fly, GoPro and Garmin Virb. Here are the thoughts: 1. Garmin Virb - quite possibly the best inside the cab camera you can own. You can, but don't have to pair it to any smartphone, real easy switch for recording, has built in GPS so it does telemetry automatically. The software on the PC is fantastic, with ability to build auto highlight reels, and rendering with the telemetry happens very fast. Here is an example of that video: [URL]https://youtu.be/YUeXKjXYa8I[/URL] [YT]YUeXKjXYa8I[/YT] 2. Waylens - I got this as a kickstarter, and while it shows promise it has some issues. First - the mounts just suck, no other way around it, they are flismy and wobble. They said they are getting a gopro adaptor, but haven't seen it yet.
