Default First Run Video GoPro Hero4 on board!!

Just a quick rough edit of my Yeti XL in the rain. When the video opens, click settings and watch in 1080p HD

Thank you,

I made a 360 Swivel Mount with 1/2 PVC, GoPro Tripod Mount, Caster Wheel holder and a big 3" magnet as the base and some thick washers as the counter balance.
I slipped a thin piece of sheet metal under the roof of the Yeti so the magnet can stick it. Dont make the pole too long as the camera may hit the ground. Total length of pvc I used is 40"

Nice video, trucks looks great, and I do like that mount. I've been thinking of making one for the XL for the angle during hillclimbs and general crawling.

Question; does it offset the CoG quite a bit? If I do the hill climbs it might be good to lock it up front for an advantage.

Thanks Sneetches, I made some pretty hard turns and the truck handled very well. Didnt seem like it wanted to flip over at all. The rig is well balanced. will try some hill climbs and she how it handles!!
