Depending on the GoPro, there’s usually a setting to flip the video if the camera’s mounted upside down. It means the video is saved in the correct orientation so there’s no need to edit afterwards.
Even though I subbed to your channel it still took YT 7 days to get it to me.. You mentioned Dom Buckley a few videos ago, that brings back memories of my dad and Andrew Cowan having conversations over breakfast in the shed a long time ago...
@@Richard_Weaver At the time they were just guys that hung about with dad. I didn't realise who they were. Andrew and Jimmy used to stay over if the weather was bad, and they couldn't get over the moor in winter. They were all in the Young Farmers together.
Hi Richard- how about a walk through of the different R5 models ( R5, R5 Evo, R2 etc, and maybe a comparison ( a theoretical one!) between Fiesta and Hyundai/ Citroen/ 208/ Fabia etc that are available in the same ( roughly!!) cost bracket? Just a thought- keep up the fab work👍
Thanks for that suggestion. I must however confess, I know practically nothing about the difference between the R5, Evo, R2 etc. I am really ignorant about all of the nuances. I just basically went out and bought the car I did for a few reasons. I could however explain that process. 🤔
I like your idea of having a spare intercom. Ive had mine fail a few times and a spare would have made all the difference. Especially as the cheaper units (as its a spare) are about the price of a new tyre.
Yes. I think the Rosso one was under £100 when I bought it. Couldn’t be more simple. One rotary knob to power it and raise volume equally on both channels.
Looks good but a few questions? Can you use a more modern GoPro i.e 9 or 10 as wide fundtion and floating lense far superior and also my co pilott would be fit to reach switch up there when strapped in.
Not sure, please check out the Wired Remote for Go-Pro page on Facebook. You can put the switch any where an i have ordered a roll cage mounted switch housing from WFR G-Pro to relocate it.
beautiful relaxing video thank you for posting I really liked it. I am still concerned about the hashtag @avinCrack as I still say drugs are bad in motorsport. My uncle died from the crack epidemic in Washington years ago and my Mum and my gran and my aunt and her new husband Chett are all very anti-drugs even now 20 years later
Hi Mate. It’s not a drug reference. It is a cultural reference to an Irish saying. If your “having the crack” it means you’re having a laugh or a good time. It’s not how you imagine. There is also another rally channel called that I think you’d like. So check out the guys running that channel.
@@Richard_Weaver oh no no no the Irish have craic! an ephemeral state of mind heightened and elongated by addition of guiness and leprechaun stories. It is not the same as crack.
Hi Richard, thanks for the video. Question for you - how old are you? I'm currently driving slow rally cars and am worried if I wait too long to get a "fast" rally car then I will be physically and mentally unable to drive it. Thoughts?
I’m 44 years old. I started in slow cars aged 29. How old are you? There’s a path to faster car sooner for less than R5 money. An evo for example is a perfect choice. I’ll add, that I don’t think age comes into it. Just experience. Certainly at club level.
@@Richard_Weaver thanks for the reply! I'm 38, been rallying for 8 years in non turbo front and all wheel drive Subarus, exclusively on gravel and snow
I think you’ll be pleased with your performance when you step up. It’s easy to think you’re not as quick as the guys at the front when you’re not in a competitive vehicle. If you’re currently performing competitively in your current class, you’ll be quick as you step up.

I’m quite technically ignorant! I’ll look into that.
@@Richard_Weaver My GoPro 4s have this option, it is very straight forward and is a saved setting.

I guess its a long way down under for them to send the vid! Dom B and Andrew C were giants of the sport.

Its a lovely story mate.

Evening Richard, do you still need service crew for bovington? I don't have Facebook so thought I would try a message here 😂
Thanks very much Peter. I’m sorted now 👍🏻🙏🏻
@@Richard_Weaver great, good luck

I believe that GoPro 8 black and newer automatically turns the video footage
Think I’m due an upgrade!

@@Richard_Weaver Thanks!!
No problem. Happy rallying.
i also got gopro hero 4 and mine flips by itself when i turn it upside down
That’s cool. I think mine is ancient!!
@@Richard_Weaver yours is the same one. You don’t really need anything any better. It does all you need for onboard cameras
Thanks 🙏🏻
@@davemarshallracing Agree that the 4 is all you’ll ever need for onboard, but mine doesn’t auto flip. Maybe I’ve missed a firmware upgrade?
@@handbrakebob possibly. Think mine is a 4 black. Don’t know whether that makes any difference but yeah could be just firmware
