Get the SmartyCam! Mediocre video and 4X the cost but you will have the same camera as I do!

That way next year, when you see my car with an E on it, it will be recorded!

Ahhhhhaaa. Be careful, your car might actually be slower with an E on it!

I hope so Jack, it seems like it's too fast for me to keep on the track now!

I really hope so! Synching up using RaceRender is not very hard at all, but still, it would be nice to have this.

I put together a TBL using video from the XD1080, data from an AIM Solo, and racerender. It took me nearly two hours to sync/render the six sessions that went into the seven segments, although some of this is due to the fact that my laptop is old and a little overwhelmed by the effort.

That being said, if you watch carefully at the segment transitions, you can see that the syncing process is less than perfect.

My bottom line is that the video from the XD1080 is stellar, but syncing using RaceRender is only adequate. It would be great if Peter's little birdie is right!

Jack:
Both do their job well. I am with Peter as far as liking the Replay FOV better. Picture quality is excellent on both and each one works fine every time I use one or the other. And yes, you have to be more careful handling the micro SD cards used in the Replay because they are easy to drop or misplace. The Replay does come with the adapter to use so you can insert it in the SD card slot that seems to be pretty much standard on current laptops and desktops.

Good Lord! The video TBL made by TraqStudio using the GoPro HD Hero 2 is one of the features I use most frequently to find my clients time!

If I had to spend two hours on a process that normally takes me about 30 seconds to a minute (yes, I have the latest laptop technology), I'd quit my job! I'd recommend the GP H2 to anyone remotely considering a Traqmate, for that reason alone!

Traqmate is recommending RaceRender for their new PIP GoPro cable. I'll be very wary of recommending that option unless the buyer is VERY tech and computer savvy...

Peter, I just saw HERE that GoPro has an iOS remote app now.

With that in mind, what are you recommending for in-car race/DE video?
