Still a ways off. The GP and Dual case is pre-production and not in final form. About $3K, estimated.

Good, broad lineup announced.

Everything from a simple, add-on SmartyCam 3, 1080P with 30 FPS and less expensive than the current V2.1, to an updated version of the V2.1 with 60 FPS and an internal bridge, then the GP (bullet cam) version with one or two cameras, the latter with picture-in-picture.

It's a good thing. No one can say definitively when they will arrive on these shores, though. Not sure I would wait on them before the season starts, especially if you're going to Florida, but it will be an exciting 2022 ahead with these developments!

They are all very nice. The Sport version is pretty slick - a little bigger than I thought it would be, but really nice and at a solid price point. The outputs on the GP and the Duel are really slick. The literature is not all correct, so it's really good to see things in person. I think they will be a hit.

My guess is that the Sport will be here 6-8-10 weeks. The rest in four or five months. Subject to supply constraints, obviously.

Any public specs on the models. I'd love a camera that uses global time or similar that has a file format importable into RSA3 to sync to aim data at a 3 figure price point.

The public specs will be in the updated racing guide due to be published in the next week or two, after everyone gets back from PRI.

All of the new cameras have that ability (as do the V2.1 and V2.2) to sync in RS3A beta, and the Sport (renamed from "Compact") is forecast to be $250 less than the current pricing on the V2.1, so your wish is their command!

I ahve them all and can post later tonight or tomorrow.

An interesting change on the Sport is the requirement to configure through the MicroSD card as it has no USB connector.

Would have been nice to have WiFi or config over the CAN from the dash on the Sport....

The Sport is a "stripper," designed to come in at a specific price level. Would have been even less expensive had the shortages not intervened!

It will be more than adequate for a majority of casual users (the lion's share of the marketplace) with 1080P and use as a slave to an existing logger.

Only let down for me is the mSD card format... Glad the others are retaining full size cards.

Hope it comes with it's own pole :-)

Agreed. That's a pain, for sure.

You know how RL rolls, what with @LuigiVampa and @dgrobs talking about “hookers and blow.”
