UK hill climb - data only question

Post by snowy999 »

Hi All (and Harry),

I usedHLT for UK hill climbs but got frustrated by the delay in the video captrue after doing a standing go start as HLT gpt the iPhone to get recording video.

Now I run a Go Pro 13 for video capture!

So, if I set up a hill climb track (using a racebox mini as GPS source and a dongle to capture car data) with a finish line and a standing go start trigger will HLT record all data from launch or is there still a 2/3s delay after the acceleration 'event'?

By doing this I can avoid my old delay in video capture and combine my run data with the GoPro video post the run once I have edited it down to the correct length.

Thank you

Snowy

You need to operate the 13 manually. Automatic starting is not supported for cams after HERO 7. So just start the cam before going to the standing start and use LapTimer for data recording only. Stop the cam once you have finished the hill climb. Once back home, upload the video to your smartphone and follow instructions in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXjVb8nWCXI to link the data with the video. You can overlay it in LapTimer afterwards.

Important: do not use special video formats / features the HERO offers. Use a plain UHD 4K with 60Hz max.
