I'm ready to take some pics and videos with my Drift(s)

[kevorama]

Right now I have two Drifts, one GoPro and one hand held PAS. I think I will be leaving my point and shoot camera at home now that I'm getting use to the new iPhone camera. I can edit a pic right on the phone and with "Cloud" it will be on all my computers when I get back home.
:thumbup:

I used the curved mount that came with the camera with the quick release. I did buy an extra large battery and it is needed if you shoot a lot of video. That's one of the reasons I'm going with the usb power instead of the battery.

Lamont, since you have both the GoPro and the Drifts, how do they differ? We were thinking of getting a pair of the GoPro HD's before the trip to Cuba, and doing a front mount and a helmet mount. I'll hold off on the purchase until I hear from you or anyone else that would like to chime in. I'm also curious about the USB power. I thought that most USB power supplys were 3v. Is there a kit that steps down the 12v to 3v, or is this another simple DC mod that totally escapes me?

One more question, I want to order and install my GloRyders before heading to Spyderfest. The only way that I can have my lights ready for the trailer wheels is to purchase a spare set of dust covers so that I can do the modification here at home and just pop them on to the trailer when I pick it up at Cowtown. I'm having a hard time finding RT-622 parts online. Any idea where I can order those? :banghead: It's after hours or else I would've called Len to see if he could ship them to me.

As always, many thanks in advance :thumbup:

PS - I agree with the iPhone camera being a nice one. I'm leaving my Canon Rebel EOS at home and using the iPhone 4S for stills. If I may recommend an awesome app for the camera, it's called Camera+. I have at least 20 camera apps and I like that one the best right now.

The Drift and the GoPro both take great pics and video. I perfer the Drift mostly because it's easier to use and I love the remote. I believe usb is 5v and what I bought goes from 12v to usb standard.

GoPro Mount

Has anyone mounted the GoPro on an RT. I'm interested in where you placed it and how? GoPros are more available here than the Drift.
