LapTimer with original GoPro HD Hero?

[R3ctivision]

Hi all, I've been researching HLT and it looks awesome. However, I have the original GoPro HD Hero, which lacks WiFi and all the new fancy features found on the Hero 3 series. If I record video manually on the GoPro, can I later sync it with HLT iPhone video and/or data and have the video overlay done? How difficult is this?

The other question: How much storage space should I expect to need for a full track day on my iPhone? Can HLT record for full 30-min segments? The track day would likely be 5 30 minute sessions. I have a 16GB iPhone 5, and I imagine that the 4-5GB I might be able to keep free before I start wouldn't be enough for all the videos.

If the GoPro data import is possible, does the phone need to be able to store all the GoPro clips plus its own video internally to merge? Or is some sort of streaming possible?

I'm afraid that with the paltry storage space on my phone that HLT may not work out for me. Perhaps I could use the overlay data exported as CSV and use a desktop editing program with just purely GoPro footage.

Thanks in advance!

It s possible to transfer external footage to the iPhone and overlay it here. Please check the very last chapter from the video documentation available here: http://www.gps-laptimer.com/LapTimerDoc ... hapter.pdf Space required is described here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=459 Please keep in mind that overlaying a video generates a new video requiring additional space - at least until the original video is removed again. A 30 minute session using FullHD is roughly 6 GB of space, in HD it is less than 3 GB. Depending on the GoPro and the memory card format, GoPros split videos into 2 GB pieces in addition - which is cumbersome to work with. So my general recommendation is to not record video all the time but leave this exercise to individual short sessions.
