• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

best value action camera...go pro?

As far as hosting sites... Youtube will host 1080P but Vimeo charges for 1080P and so a free acct. only gets you 720 there. it gets you 80% there as an HD format with less bandwidth requirement so not so bad. The following is an example shot as 1080P/60 Protune, to test my then new Hero 3 black. Shooting 60fps allows you to easily do a 50% slo mo on the timeline. I am pleased with the image quality in favorable lighting. Prior GoPros and lesser cams would have that blue sky be a lot of pixilation as just a still image. I have used similar old GoPro shots for magazine ads and had to do a lot of photoshopping to clean up, just for a 1/2 page ad. The Hero 3 and above are a step up image wise. Have not tried or looked at the 4. I don't need cinema sized images so good with the 3 until it dies.

Bulky unit looks bigger than the drift.

May just be me but the go pro looks like the most stream lined close to the drift.
Garmin are top notch tech wise so im sure the camera will be good quality. Whats the sound like?
 
Garmin Virb ELite... It can overlay where you are on a GPS route, total speed, braking G's, acceleration force, and with additional sensors heart rate, etc. onto your video. Guy in our club is a video "pro", he's had the GoPro, Contour and a few others and to him.. the Virb Elite is the best.

Right now I personally use the SJ1000... GoPro clone and it takes great video.. but doesn't have features like the Virb.
