I bought a new little toy a Go Pro Hero 2 Camera and I was testing the Car mount.

Now all I need is a good Video editing program.

love gopro's. I have one of the hero2's and i want another. their customer service is top notch. I think I had a defective suction cup mount, it's failed 3 times. the last time was at laguna seca when it hit the track at 80, they sent me a mount/case for free. Are you on mac or windows? the gopro softwear is ok to start with

I have both a Mac and a PC. I used Imovie to edit that video. I am sure Imovie is a good program I just need to play around with. The camera itself and the mount is great. I need to play with the angles more.

I haven't tried the photo burst mode. or the time lapse. I also want to get the wifi bacpac and program to control the camera from my IPAD.

I noticed your cranking time is about the same as mine. Longer that other cars but not that bad.
There is a free movie editor that comes on the old WinXP.(Movie creator?)
I use it and something that came free with a flatbed scanner I have.
It's called Ulead VideoStudio 7 SE
Using both I get what I need done. Not top notch but ..... free.
For a camera I use to use X10 but that's over 10yrs old now so I just use my 1080p cell phone and duct tape :-D

I used Ulead Videostudio before its not a bad program. as for a 1080p cell phone.. I am still on my Iphone 3G (not even 720P).. just got an email that my Iphone 5 shipped today. :-)

My Crank time varies sometimes its long sometimes its real quick. depends on how long the car has been sitting.
