So how much is GT680W after the conversion and everything?

I'm getting one for safety purposes or to protect myself during car accident due to some bad experience.
*
go to foxoffer.com...get the price in usd (free international shipping)

after that google for currency converter.... xe.com is a popular one

Thanks.. browse through foxoffers and also this thread and saw most of the people are talking about the GT680W. I'm wondering is there something cheaper than can produce some decent quality of videos. I just need one which can at least capture decent video quality during day and night. Don't need GPS or anything.
*
if dont need gps...G1WH also from foxoffer

im using this...samplrs r in this thread

Checking it out.

Hope you don't mind another question, can the device run just on battery alone? and only charge when needed.. if I don't want to see the cable dangling in the middle of the car
*
yes but it only lasts a few minutes...so the battery is pretty much useless in a way hahahahha

most (if not all) DVRs comes with a pretty long cable so u can route it within ur trim.... the G1WH has this.

i routed mine within the trim... not that difficult....u can see a sample of how the cable is routed above by wiraone

I see I see... how about the cabling yeah, can it charge true those USB ports or must use those car cigarette lighter holes type.
*
can...ive used a phone in car charger to run my dvr a number of times...it also comes with a USB cable for data transfer.

but the long cable that comes with the DVR is thru ciggie port.

Isn't it better to use one of the smartphone apps for track day instead? At least it'll include lap times, and if you have an OBD-2 monitor, your engine specs too which a typical dash cam won't capture.
*
dont know of any android smartphone app that records video at the same time as laptimes...most i see on internet are video and laptime recorded using separate devices.

i use racechrono for lap times.

and im on OBD1

I've looked at Harry's Laptimer before and it records video as well as GPS/lap time and OBD2 although I use it on the iPhone only. There's an Android version too. Haven't been on track for awhile though since I sold the BMW...

http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html

Anyway, off topic. biggrin.gif


*
harry's lap timer got for android already ah?

anyway... ive read comparisons between racechrono and harrys and supposedly racechrono is a wee bit more accurate... n less crap to deal with or something like that.

theres also another app that can detect g forces and all that... but i cant remember the name...if not mistaken its trackmaster

i dont really mind though coz its more for personal use....too n00b to be posting much online ahahha


fixed the youtube for u.

EDIT: oh... n forgot to mention....finding a mount for the phone to record video WITHOUT the damn thing shaking all over the place is pretty hard... ive tried about 4-5 different mounts and all are crap and shakes like hell.... which is why i decided to get a DVR instead...unless u got any recommendation for mounts? (with links)

EDIT: just took a peek at the harrys laptimer app in the playstore... the version that records videos is RM82.... quite pricey for an app... but worth considering though.

hmm, tempted, rm300 full track, you going for that session?

if no pit ok ke? or you renting pit with your buddies?

i'm interested in the full track, not partial as i experienced partial (iinm also south)
*
yeah 300 full track.

dunno about pit... not sure wanna rent or not... but if no pit then dunno where to put spare tire etc....unless someone brings a car and doesnt enter, can use the car for storage.

planning on going for the 2-4pm session

i see.. another thing that also concerns me is my crash la... just remembered to share my pictures lol:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JasonLimQuazac...sts/Znx2WgQbbUW

basically driver side absorbers f***ed, 1cm lower than passenger side :/

RCS suspensions are on the plan, however most likely won't make it on May sepang >_<
that's why also not really keen on going so soon also
*
aiyoyoyo... baru keluar sudah crash? wat the happening?

RCS eh? id personally go with F Tuned though tongue.gif

too fast and too stupid lol. can't make it to exit (too fast, speeding past) still stubbornly want to go sweat.gif

well RCS not much expensive than f tuned, and i want road comfort. no adjustable in the market can guarantee that except for RCS (well, they aren't even adjustable also, can't adjust anything lol) hence my choice lo lol
*
Ftuned about RM3k? RCS about RM5k? banyak tu woi! hahhaha

but yeah... thats one thing i dont quite like about RCS and Titan... ur pretty much limited to high low adjustability only... no soft hard. i personally like to adjust the stiffness as and when i like and not have to go back there and get them to open up the abs and revalve bla bla bla... and somemore have to pay after a cetain period.


and errr... road comfort? wats that? *cabutz*

let's just say a group of us managed to negotiate RCS to just barely over 3k. what do you say about that then? no brainer? brows.gif

also, for the RCS we getting, you don't even get high low adjustability! LOL!
that said, there's the 2/3 way motorsport series from RCS that can tune rebound/compression, but that cost over 10k tongue.gif
*
yeah...no brainer...FTuned is the choice biggrin.gif

no adjustability and at THAT price? still damn expensive man...

but i guess depends on ur priorities la... but id still go with Ftuned street spec (which is cheaper than the road/track spec) and set to softest for daily drives....track days kasi max.

thats what im doing with my TEIN Flex now...still very comfy on softest settings....and last track day i forgot to adjust it to max...so hentam soft oso still performed pretty decent.

btw where do you mount in car if you want to see your gear knob and rpm/kph meter clusters?
*
never done that before... gotta take my G1WH and see wat options i have....so far all on front windscreen only

also have to take into account for charging cable since the G1WH battery only lasts a few minutes....dont know if using a USB extension will work or not

the long cable that came with the DVR has been permanently fitted into my other car

well SJ4000 battery does last... but i just can't seem to find a right angle that can capture both rpm and kph together sad.gif

i dont think theres any angle can do that la... probably depends on dash and meter design/configuration.

most people i see that mount like u do mount it slightly further back... u try and see la...

Any comment on this one? seems like a newer model than the G1W
*
yeah looks newer...not a fan of the chrome ring around the lens though... makes it more obvious through the windscreen.

guess no one has tried this yet... u googled for sample videos already?

Any of these cameras any good?

http://www.lazada.com.my/shop-car-cameras/

I don't wanna buy a cheap one  and then find out that it doesn't work under certain conditions like overheat or prolong usage.
*
get the G1WH from foxoffer.com ... most of the cameras on lazada looks like crap... but the more expensive ones unknown

the G1WH at least is proven... i own one... prolong usage? no problem... ive driven for over an hour with the dvr running in the hot sun with no problems

overheat? my car was under the sun for 3-4 hours n it still works like normal. take note that my cars have NO tinting whatsoever.

Is this better than a dashcam?

http://grantonworld.com.my/deals/Products/..._source=myemail

I know it's shock proof and weather proof, so more suitable for bikes but what if we use for cars?

Still we need to manually capture everytime we start engine right. Is there any dashcam where it auto records everytime we start our engine?
*
the go pro is an "action cam"...not really a dashcam... but if u want something similar... checkout SJ4000 reviews on youtube... its an action cam with dashcam features and very good video quality....at roughly 1/3 the price..theres also video comparisons between SJ4000 n the go pro

with the dashcam features the auto record thing will be enabled.... ull have to buy the car suction mount separately though as it doesnt come with it in the box...

another downside... if u leave it in the car... people (especially unscrupulous ones) see... they think its a go pro... they break a window...bye bye SJ4000

Anyone got any experience with X650 Full HD1080P Car DVR Video Recorder Vehicle Camera G-sensor HDMI. Sold in lelong? It look simple and small enough to install on the visor mirror. Thanks.

looks like the G1W.... if it really is the G1W rebranded/renamed.. then id say its a very good buy

my G1WH also has the same look/dimensions... hides behind my avanza mirror pretty decently.

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ May 27 2014, 01:42 PM)
i call this bollocks.

I've bought 2 DVR with GPS before, no issues, both different model.

summoning quazacolt and mADmAN
*
mine no GPS... but i do agree with bollocks... very unlikely to happen




oh... n for those who are interested... my May 18th track day video taken with G1WH can be viewed HERE ... managed to catch some interesting moments like a spinning RX7... a massively understeering Preve.. my own understeer to the point the car was shaking (and i lost a mudguard liner about 3 corners after that)
