GoPro HD test E93 M3, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Silverstone · 08-09-2010, 06:19 AM

Hi guys

I had my GoPro HD camera for a couple of months now but haven't had the time to test it.

The reason why i removed the sound and put some background music is because the housing i was using didn't really bring out the exhaust note plus there was a lot of wind noise. I was not really pushing it in this video just a nice cruise around the City i live in.

Notice the road fly that gets caught in my camera housing in the middle of the video. lol.

did you set the frames at a higher rate? cause it seems the picture is moving fast although you're not really driving fast.

I was going around 150km/h average, but people on the streets here are reckless, and most of them dont know that the government installed new speed cameras that calculate the time it took you from point A to point B. so i was pretty much being careful...

basically this system lets say there is this road that is supposed to take you 10min from point A to point B. our license plates have RFIDs in them. So if i reach point B in less than 10min they will know i was speeding in between.

the video is 16min, i increased the playback speed.

It's great to see some people actually pull over to the side when you come up on them. Wish more Americans would learn that!
