Gopro video camera mounted under rear bumper

Was out off roading today and decided I'd fix my gopro under the car to see all what goes on. I had to go round pretty tame tracks to save damaging the camera and still managed to knock it going through a burn but it still looks pretty cool.

SWEET!

Was it a green rangie which went past on the right at about 7:10?

That is cool! Funny how the axle looks so far away from the axle on the video when in reality it's not that far, it must have a pretty wide angled lens as it captures a good amount!

Ye I think its because its wide angled it makes everything look a bit out if perspective. It was on a Gopro hero 3 black edition.

Yer chassis need welderising.

Nothing needing welded at the back. Iv just finished a lot of welding inclufing: angled rear of chassis 2" higher allowing more ground clearance, welded on 2-150x700x6mm plates from the crossmember above the rear axle to the rear of the chassis giving me more strength for the rear bumper. Also welded on 6x50 bar along the underside of the chassis as skid plates to protect chassis patched a couple of rusty spots and fabricated new rear body mounts then built my new rear bumper. Will put up pictures on another thread shortly.

Nice. But what is the dangling around by the diff pan in the middle of the picture??

Cool video! How come were diff is on the left of the axle? Got some crazy transfer box in there?

Its an old disused electrical connector. It was tied up but must have come loose.

Haha I was wondering if anyone would notice. Because the gopro was upside down for filming when editing I only flipped the image vertically not realising I would need to flip it sideways. I thought it would have worked like a picture when you rotate but apparently not.

Haha nope. It also makes it confusing when I was trying to work out where I was on the tracks seeing every turn is the wrong way too!
