Better than GoPro And FREE!

Better than GoPro and FREE!

Don’t spend $300 for a GoPro that only records video, or $1000s for a camera that also captures data and video.

If you have an iPhone, you have the ability to capture your racing runs on video PLUS capture data about your run.
Race Camera is an iPhone app built for land speed racing that records wide-angle High Definition video, and the following data:
•   Speed (in MPH KPH, KTs)
•   Altitude (in feet, meters)
•   Direction (magnetic North)
•   Elapsed time
•   Current time
•   Distance (miles, Kilometers, Nautical miles)
•   Fore/Aft G-Forces
•   Vertical G-Forces (negative and positive)
•   Lateral G-Forces
•   Latitude
•   Longitude
Just mount your iPhone to your vehicle or body (many mounts are available for the iPhone) and when you are ready to go, start recording. Race Camera will record your run and later you can analyze the data.
- How fast was I going at the 2 mile?
- Did I slow down during the entire run or keep accelerating?
- How was my track? Was I veering left or right?
- What, when, and where was my top speed (it may not have been at the finish line)

You can use Microsoft Excel or other software to graph all these parameters so that the data is easily interpreted.

Here is a short video of Race Camera in Action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmhk5wi7hWk

Jon Wennerberg has authorized me to give away FREE 25 promo codes for Race Camera only to members of LR.com. The first 25 racers who respond and tell us how you intend to use Race Camera will get the promo codes.
Yes, there is a catch.

Catch #1 – You must have an iPhone 4 or 5. The Android version is being coded now.
Catch #2 – You must give your vehicle number and class.
Catch #3 – You must send your videos to me to be featured on the website for Race Camera. www.Racecamera.com

For each complete video and data file I get back from you, I will donate $10 to the LR.com website fund.

Just respond with the above information and I will send you the promo code to download Race Camera from the iTunes App Store.

Although Jon has authorized this posting, he is not responsible for Race Camera at all so do not send him questions about it.

I would like a code for the #672 H/DT entry.

I will use it at SpeedWeek to record my effort to up the record in that class.

I will send the video ASAP - perhaps even from the Hotel at SpeedWeek if I can get good Wi-Fi service.

(I may have to fab up a duct tape and zip-tie mount for my Iphone 4, however).

Steve.

Don, thank you!

Let's give it a shot.

If there's one still available, I'll take a code.

Thanks!

PS It will be going on my wife's phone - I'm still on the dark ages with a Motorola flip that simply will not break.

That graph was when I was testing the app this past week. It was on a flight from Anchorage to Kodiak in a Dash-8 and the graph starts right on takeoff.

Thanks to those who have responded. I hope you can use the app to your benefit.
I am sending a private message to each responder with the Promo Code.

Here is how to redeem the promo code and install the app on your iPhone:
1. Launch the "App Store" on the iPhone.

2. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the first page where you will see a "Redeem" button

3. If you are not signed into the App Store you will have to enter your password to get in.

4. Click the "You can enter the code manually" link

5. Enter the code I sent to your private message.

6. If the code is correct, the app will automatically install.

The first thing to do is to set up Race Camera. Click the Settings button and you can enter the following;

-  Team Name
- Speed and distance display as Miles, Knots, or Kilometers
- What to display - Altitude, Heading, time, distance acceleration
- If you want the camera to automatically switch from the front camera to the rear camera at certain intervals. If you use this feature it will show the front view out the windshield, and what is behind the camera such as the driver.

When the app asks permission to use location services, click Yes. That is the GPS function.

I would like to give it a try, Lessman racing AA/BGS 963.

I would love the Android version for the C/CPS Studebaker Hawk #1964.  We run at ECTA and drag events as well.
