iPhone App: Cockpit Recorder
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 10:15 pm
I got round to buying this application for my iPhone yesterday - I've got to say that I think it's pretty good.. especially considering it only cost £1.79 - I already had a screen mount with a camera cut out I bought from eBay for the sat nav programme I use for £3.99 - so for a grand sum of £5.78 I now have in car recording capability which overlays GPS map, speed and G-force.
Here's some screen shots of it in action:






The only slight annoyance I have with it at the moment is that you can't export the video (but they have promised this function in future updates though) - but I figured for £1.79 for the app then you couldn't go wrong as stand alone systems which perform similar functions are >£300 GBP..
Thought I'd mention it on here as I know a lot of peeps do track days/run outs and auto cross and if you already have an iPhone then it's a fairly cheap in car recording system!
For info this is the windscreen mount I have:

here's a quick video of it in action:
not the best quality as I only realised after this video that the phone wasn't 100% secure in the cradle so there is some extra vibration there which wouldn't normally be there! - future releases/updates will support export and direct YouTube uploads according to the developers
