We recently added a new part to our webpage, the Xcorder<\/a>. I had a chance to drive around with one for a few weeks getting more familiar with the unit.<\/p>\n

The primary feature is the video capture. The camera is always running on the unit and the videos get saved in 1 minute chunks in an MP4 format. The wide angle lens does a really good job of showing everything in front of recorder. You can see the complete windshield the Xcorder<\/a>\u2019s entire view.<\/p>\n

I got a chance to test out the load sensor in the Xcorder<\/a> doing product testing. I took the Xcorder<\/a> out for a spin in the Mazda 2 with a new rear bar to get an idea of how many g\u2019s I could pull around a roundy-round intersection. In the video below you can see the path I was taking and the g-load spikes. I came close to pulling 1 g around the turn which is shown just under the video screen (the spikes on the x-axis). You also get a good look at where I was doing said suspension testing in Vancouver with the GPS location. After recording the video I noticed that I slowed down going around the corner. I did not want to slow down; my sub-conscience took over while driving. This will give me something to check while competing in the next auto-x. If I can correct a throttle lift at points on the course where I need to be on the throttle it can result in quicker times.<\/p>\n

If you really want to amuse yourself with the Xcorder<\/a> turn it around backwards so you can see the expressions of the drivers and passengers. You would get a wide angle view of everyone and their faces while driving. (check out those white knuckles on Jake)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you have kids it also gives you a great deterrent against the sibling \u201cshe said he said\u201d conflicts that can occur in the back seats.<\/p>\n

Getting the videos off the unit is really a snap. The SD memory card pops out of the side which is super handy. The video and picture above, I pulled off the SD card on my laptop in a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Is it worth the $199? You bet it is. The little bit of data- logging information I gains from looking at my driving in the corner testing out the g loads is something I had no idea I was doing. That little piece of information is worth it in competition events. The extra insurance the Xcorder<\/a> offers makes an incredible value. Having a constantly running video recording can be invaluable. I hope I never have to pull a video off of the unit to prove who caused a traffic accident.<\/p>\n
