Yes Soloshot would work. I have one and they are rated at taking video from over 2000 feet. The problem is lugging the equipment around. The camera requires a hefty tripod for a stable support. Of course @Marty Backe will soon have an entire film crew to shoot his footage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to use a single camera for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a KingSong wheel you can play whatever motor sound you want from it, and the sound is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a KingSong wheel you can play whatever motor sound you want from it, and the sound is pretty cool. I mean to say that the noise should be responsive to what you do on your wheel as otherwise it'd <just> be static. Making the motor sound rough with a few interruptions under heavy load would be a great safety feature. You are accelerating hard, the wheel should sound like it is straining, maybe throw in a few missed cycles to give you a bad feeling on the pedals, I know it's completely artificial but this would be so much better than the usual effortless acceleration at max until the wheel dumps you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARPed1701D Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 As I dabble with mobile development I thought of writing a sound app tied to GPS for some cool wheel noises. I wanted to do something like the sound of The Bat from Dark Knight Rises. I even thought of showing the user to specify the wheel model so at near max speed things would start to sound strained. I hadn't bothered yet as the V8 had no speaker built in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the GPS data would be accurate/responsive enough to allow the sound to be moderated real-time based on the speed of the wheel.

Most phones now are highly accurate in open sky situations using not just American GPS but the EU's Galileo system and Russia's Glonass systems. Ideally it would get speed data from the wheel which polls multiple times per second but that is way beyond me right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm buying it. 3 bucks is a wonderful price for the programmers effort and cleverness. Brilliant. Thanks for that. It's on my droid phone now FOR FREE. I like free. I haven't tried it with GPS. Can't find the GPS button actually. Seems to rev to redline or shift down to idle, not much in between. One nice feature is the "REV" button at the bottom. Press this and it revs to redline With a quick throttle blip. Probably the most useful feature for warning wandering nitwits to start walking in a straight line. Lovely N/A bored and stroked big block with a lumpy high lift cam V8 sound. There's also some tire squealing from time to time, but I'm not sure whats causing it. There's a "static" mode where you can activate it by tilting the phone. Buttons are EXTREMELY unresponsive. Definitely a press and HOLD scenario. The demo video is on an iPhone, so maybe the Android version is a bad porting job. Hence: free Economy mode and short gears produces more shifts and lower down the rev range. There's no place to enter your vehicle top speed, so at our 20 to 40 kph top speeds we may be lucky to get out of first gear, which is a shame because running through the gears is fun. EDIT: Update. Just took it for a drive around the block in the old steel cage (car) Hopeless. GPS has little to no correlation to road speed. On my way out, it did change into third for a 25 to 30 mph speed. On my way back, on the same road, it never left idle, but when I pulled into the driveway, it revved up like I was going to crash into the garage. Verdict: useless. Novelty value at best. Best feature: "REV" button. Edited December 21, 2017 by Smoother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as one accelerates there is an odd warbling which sounds exactly like one is practicing chords. I agree....hopeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
