Best Helmet Cam: Insta360 Go3

At Bret's urging, I picked up one of these, an Insta360 Go3:

The little pod comes out and has its own battery and storage. All you need to do is mount it to your helmet with the little clip mount. You don't need anything other than the clip.

That's it! It stays on easily with the visor closed (it's stable enough when open, too) and lasts long enough to run a race. In the pic it's a bit cockeyed because I had just put the helmet down.

If you already have a GoPro mount on your helmet, this works nicely.

I haven't run the new Go3S but the Go3 is plenty good enough. I think 4K video is overkill, but I would bet the new version is better on battery at 2.7K resolution.

You can easily then overlay some RaceRender footage:

I have to say, the point of view and video quality is really fantastic. I've tried GoPros mounted on the side, visor, and chin. All produce too much drag. I can't feel the Go3 on my helmet at all. In my opinion, everything except the visor mount makes bad video. I've seen some where you can't see above the steering wheel!

In-helmet systems like the CamBox are good too, but tend to get blurry because of the visor. I don't think they'll fit in an ABP helmet, and I know a lot of yall run that. They do produce better audio. You can cut a little piece of foam and cover the microphone with it, it helps with the wind noise a marginal amount.

I've seen at least one driver mount the base unit in the car using a sticky 3M GoPro mount and adapter. You could then easily wire it into power using a 12V->USBC buck converter. This is probably the most convenient setup, not least of which because you can easily see if you're recording or not!

Help with Assetto Corsa

I'm looking to add the tracks I regularly run to Assetto Corsa. I have found some of the track layouts I
need but not all.
1721576987940.png

This track works fine.

At Sebring, SCCA Central Florida runs a short course several times a year. The start/finish line is
between turns 9 and 10 and runs 10, 11, 12, 13, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9, 10. I have been unable to find a track
file with this layout. Does anyone know of one?

The second is Homestead. NASA and SCCA Florida run different layouts. NASA runs the straits with
the infield in between.
1721577127435.png

This track works fine but only has two layouts.

SCCA Florida runs the roval layout.
1721577334616.png


But when I try to use it the car just floats in space.
1721577414954.png

Does anyone know of a track with the roval that works or know of the settings needed to fix what I have?

Thanks for your help.
