Default Finally! Traqmate/GoPro Sync

Cut 'n Paste from an e-mail blast I got just now...


"Introducing - Traqmate GoPro Camera Sync!

This won't be official until the PRI show but we wanted to include this new product in the sale.

Starting next year we will be offering a camera control and sync solution for the extremely popular GoPro Hero 1080p HD Camera.

The Traqmate will control the GoPro camera via a custom interface module and cable, powering it on as well as starting and stopping the camera. Synchronization with TraqStudio will be automatic.

Traqmate data and GoPro video will be an unbeatable combination.

Shipping January 2012"

gopro is a good cam, but it has no zoom function. Can't mount it on the rollbar and expect a good view. Front windshild mount gets a decent view, but you'll be missing driver's shifting and hand movements. Tow hook mount would give a pretty good view too.

Can you provide a link to where? I couldn't find the GoPro camera control, except within a big kit of other stuff I already have.

I emailed them today and asked the same question

They will post the stand alone camera kit 1Q next year when the box is released

They also told me it is only tested at this point with first gen GoProHD
