Welcome to the IHoP v.2

and a mount?

 

You have to either look around for one or get creative and in the end attach it to the tripod mount.

 

If you are thinking about shooting a lot and care about not only the quality of the image, but also of the ... footage so to say, you should do some research on steady cams. Your videos will look much more professional. Lots of DYIs on that.

 i bought this with the idea of it being small, compact rugged and  because of the suction cup mount ... also because  i thought it had really great specs.. but not if i cant play back...

 

 oh and i bought it to mount in my car, to catch reactions while demoing

Never driven a Sequoia and if they drive like an Escalade/Navigator I'm not interested.

Did sit in one though and while not in love could maybe live with it if:

Some winter tires on the stock rims and something better than the above on new ones.

New Rover looks way better than the last gen. Sales guy said it dropped 762lbs by going to an aluminum frame. Might go drive it although I'm doubtful it's improved enough and it'll be out of the price point.

The tundras/sequoias are pucking garbage. I had a 07. Gas pedal stuck within 500 miles. Needed a new trans after a seal blew. Rear end had to be replaced. Truck couldn't hold alignment. Had to replace tires after every 25k miles. Several places did alignments.

My dad had three. All had the same issues with not holding alignments.

I have a co worker that purchased hers in another state. She is on her third set of tires with only 60k miles

My aunt had the Lexus suv version and lemoned.

A buddy has a '12 rover. I find it to be exactly like the other 4 or 5 he has owned. For the price I find the ole lady's Q5 hard to beat. Although it could use a little more power, it's a 2.0T. I've spent a lot of time in X5's and M class and prefer the Audi

Okay, so the old man is giving me a Mustang he's had lying around. I can use that and some parts from the beater to build something, so I am going to buy a Panther for daily driving, sell or trade my truck for a 427, and I should be all good for a while in the go fast dept.

Awesome!

seems to be no matter how i watch it...

i have tried to watch it in real player, quick player, with the gopro cina editing program and then i just downloaded a program called VLC media player that claimed to fix these issues... and its worse then all the other players...

its frustrating and time consuming.. im getting old and im not as good with software as i used to :(

Is it a new unit? Something must be wrong as I have seen those record amazing video even when being beat to shit. Not choppy at all considering the abuse....

That or you are just THAT loud hommie!

Sean I figured it out. You need range rover. Something CPO so no cost on lemons for you. They are a different fucking company in the last 5 years or so.

Interior is nice. Does not ride like the escalade etc etc.

I think your customed up idead is not a bad idea, but it really defeats the whole crapshoot.

You know what you have to do. Get a truck/SUV of your choice on your dime for the boat and trailers. Then have them lease you a nice car. Or have them lease you a vehicle that tows the boat and then buy yourself a fucking awesome whip. Get started on the Pantera.

I know you well enough to say that if you custom up a lease vehicle, you will overdo it because you use a 6x6 when a 2x4 would work for most people. That means it will be in and out of the tuners shop or your garage and "need" constant attention and it won't even be completed in 3 years when the lease is comming up.

WTF? Range Rovers are HUGE piles of shit. They ride way worse than an Escalade, are total pieces of shit, HUGE cost of ownership... there is nothing nice about them. I had an '08 in the shop the other day with a jumped timing belt and a rattling intake manifold (variable intake runner shaft torn up). $4000 tab to fix it. A complete piece of shit. The seats are miserable, they feel like they have no suspension, they oversteer like fucking pigs... OMG, I am trying to think of one good thing to say about them and I am drawing a total fucking blank.

I have worked on several RRs through the years, and every time I have I have thought they were the hugest pieces of shit on the road. I would rather own a VW/Audi product...

The 2011 or 2012 my friend beat around this off road track was a fucking champ.

My dad's PC just shit.

Budget choice for Motherboard/Proc/Memory/Videocard? Not sure what it is and figure it is over 3 years old so just replacing everything makes sense.

*power supply is newer and more than fine for a non-gaming machine

Used to surf internet, do taxes, and sometimes do slight modications to pictures.

Asus/i3/EVGA

Why does he need a video card? If he doesn't game a little better MoBo and nice i5 would be a better choice IMHO.

never bought an integrated before....scares me. If it is really the solution tho its okay. He's got a huge power supplt

All the new intels have an integrated video card on the processor die. Unless he is gaming or doing some extremely serious editing frequently, it won't be a problem. Asus happens to also have some neat helper firmware/software that can take advantage of those chipsets. My current asus actually runs a complete overclock for my system. I don't need to fuck with anything and it's stable as shit. Just plug and play.

Quentin, I forgot all about the Audi. I do love style of Audi and they are comfy. I always personally exclude the Audi because the price is always so high performance wise I what I have looked at.

Sean, buy a solid Ford pickup, lease a German hot rod, move on and be happy. If you leave the job yoh "suffer" with your pickem up until you find a new gig.

If you leave the current job and you are leasing the towing vehicle you will just need to buy a truck until you get a new gig. Prepair and save yourself the hassle.

So you're saying we're wired to do what feels good even without realization?

 

I don't know for sure (related to charity). What I know for sure is that countless times I have helped only to be completely forgotten and I do it again.

While they may look nice they do not drive nice. I have testdrove both and I still have my 4th gen 4runner.

WAY too slow and can't tow 5k so no Q5 for me.  Doesn't help I don't fit at all.

If they actually sold the V12 Diesel Q7 here I might lean that way.

That requires an investment on my part so it won't happen.  Neither will two cars until I move.  Has to be a single choice.  Also eliminated anything that causes me to pay anything out of pocket but that is on principle

That is what I figured.  Too big to be nice.  Really wish they were still T100 size then it'd be fixable.

Everyone I know with Tundras love them and say they've been the best trucks they've owned.
