Haven't been in years. Gets too crazy up there anymore, beer tent on the ice and all that horse power...

We'll be there this weekend for the snowmobile. atv, and SxS drags. Not participating this time.

That's right, I forgot about the desert thing. Should get some good video from that mount position.

Ok then, based upon that I'll give Garmin a look while I'm waiting for PH to get back and remove his waterproof case for a test on the audio. Thanks AK!

Here's the camera audio test without the waterproof case.

Enjoyed the video , audio sounds very clear.

What resolution are you taking those videos in ?

FWIW...I know I had a hell of a time figuring out how to post a video on here and I'm certain some have tried and given up. I'm not the tech'iest guy in the world and there's probably easier ways of doing it but thought I'd share how I did it.
Just plugging your camera into the USB on your computer, it will recognize the videos, just load the one you want into a saved file, like you would with a pic. You should be able to view it without the camera plugged in now.
I made a throw away, unimportant gmail account, it's free. Write down your sign in info as you probably won't use it that much. Then go to youtube and open an account. Also free. Be sure to choose public and not private or others won't be able to view them. When opening the account, link it to the throw away gmail account. Now just upload your video to youtube and it will give you the url, that's the http: address, write that down too. Now you should be able to view it on youtube.
Now when you want to post it on here, just hit the link button at the top, looks like a little chain, then enter the url address and load it.
Hope this might help someone dealing with the frustration of figuring it out. Beside's, I want to see more of your guy's videos.

@trigger - That's a good way to do it, but you may find it easier and it will be faster if you take the memory card out of your camera and put it in your computer. Your computer may have a card reader built in or you will need an adapter.

Plug your card into your computer and it will see it as a regular disk drive. C:\ is the internal hard drive. D:\ is your CD/DVD drive and it will be another drive letter. On my computer it is G:\. Make a Pioneer folder on your computer. I make mine on my desktop because it's easiest to find. Then you can drag files from your memory card to the folder.



You can upload to youtube right from your Pioneer folder.

Can you migrate the video with the built in Wi-Fi?

Can you migrate the video with the built in Wi-Fi?

Yes. You connect to the camera like you connect to any wifi network.

I bought a headstrap mount for the camera. It's impossible to not look ridiculous when wearing it. But... I learned something new about the LightDow camera after learning it was impossible to aim the camera when it's mounted to your head. The wi-fi feature on this camera is to use it with a phone app. Of course, my Windows phone doesn't have this app, but my work phone is an S5 so I used that. You can download Final Cam for Android, connect it to the cameras wi-fi and you can control everything right from the phone.

How much time did you spend trying to figure that out and implement it lol. I'm just going to wait until I see my daughter next from grad school, she'll hook me up in moments and I'll never see her thumbs move.

LOL! It had potential to take a long time. But I noticed the problem right away and someone at Amazon had already solved it!

I just might do that so one of you craftsman can design something better!

@pFive The real answer to your question is "No." The wi-fi is used to control the camera from your cell phone.

After having this Faux-Pro for a year, everything still works and it's mostly intact. The weak points of this camera have been the battery and the battery cover. The pins on the battery (female) have a tendency to bend. You can bend them back but eventually, they will break. Replacement batteries are cheap. The battery cover was always a pain to remove, but now it's super easy to remove and it's being held on with tape. Other than that, it's been a great, little camera.

Just in case someone else buys one of these knock off go pros;
Read through this thread again and didn't find the answer. Noticed that the poor audio was addressed when it's in its waterproof case but nothing tells you how to mount it without the case. Mine came with a second back cover that has slots in it to get better sound, the one that is on it, that is waterproof, just pops off. Had to search youtube and find a video made by a kid to figure this out.

Mine came with another case that is not waterproof. I put a ball mount on it and that was it.
