I use RaceRender as it not only has tools to help you sync up the videos but it does a great job with virtual gauges by reading the data from the Traqmate. The way I do it is I export the data from Traqview to an XLS files and then import that into Race Render 2. This is the hardest part of making the video. Finally I mount my rear camera low near the exhaust tip for two reasons, one it's a great angle for rear view shots and second it generally does a great job recording the exhaust note of the car. The lower the camera the better the sense of speed comes across. The front camera is mounted in the main front intake area wit the mount stuck to the underside of the front main opening. It's fairly wide angle so it gets most of the cabin and in my case it runs anytime the car is running.ounted next to the ODBII port shooting right at my feet. In my "full" setup I run 4 cameras, they are:īuilt in cockpit camera: For this I use a older ChaseCam that while it's SD is permanently mounted in my car on the rear glass between the seats.

It can also be a great learning tool for yourself as you can watch what your doing as the camera doesn't lie. This is the fun part and what all your friends want to see. While they may be in a different car (or type of car) it still can be helpful to see where you're smooth and where you're not. This can be hugely helpful as you can see where you're faster and where you're slower than others. While it's a touch on the weak side it can be a great learning tool as you can not only compare your laps to previous laps or even better you can import and compare laps from your friends. Traqmate includes analysis software called Traqview. It's still a great learning tool that provides real time feedback while you're driving. 5 faster I'll push harder and wind up making a mistake. My old style one simpley displays current laptime and does predictive timing to let you know if you're slower or faster than your previous lap.This is both a blessing and a curse - as many times if I see thatn I'm say. Nice and pretty with integrated shift lights it gives you a ton of real time information. Traqmate has come out with a significantly upgraded display, that color TraqDash.

Also helps from a learning standpoint to see where and how smoothly you're shifting. While temp/pressure aren't really that important but getting the RPMs can really make the videos look great. I also have a device that attaches to the green wire on the coil pack for cylinder #4. I installed a sender on my gPan 2 when I installed it and tap it for both pressure and temp. I use these to log oil pressure, oil temp and RPMs. I also have the TraqData II which adds 2 additional analog and 2 digital inputs. You can put it pretty much anywhere that is flat and lets you face it in the right direction. My base unit is mounted in my dash where the airbag used to be. I use the original Traqmate Traqdash system that includes the "brain" unit and the older in car monochrome LCD display. If you also have a similar system please feel free to post yours, if we get a number of replies I'll setup a table of contents in the first post linking to each. As I've gotten several questions on my setup that I use for my videos I wanted to start a thread with the details.
