Hi Guys,

Does anyone here use Dashware or similar to get a gauge overlay on your videos etc?

I have been trying to use Dashware with a GoPro 5 Black, but I simply can not get it to work. The files work in QUIK, but when I try with Dashware it states no data.

So I am wondering what others use to capture data and then upload to Dashware? If not a GoPro, then what?

Cheers all
John

I use Garmin Virb - it comes with a gps built-in and has full support for all sorts of overlays.
Here is an example : https://youtu.be/eyLiQ1QYGaE

Thanks!

Do you know if there is the option to plug it into the intercom like I do with my GoPro?

Ahh Awesome! Thank you.

Time to do some research.

Garmin is no worse or particularly better camera.... it is pretty much the same class as latest go pros -I picked it precisely because it has built in support for all sorts of visualization of gps data ( gps speed ,track, altitude, climb rate etc etc ) - it is still just gps derived data so don’t expect miracles but there is no need for any syncing and it works out of the box.

Here is a sample of how to set up gps overlays https://youtu.be/hIObE1jvF4E. (about 5 minutes in )

Thanks for that.

I have just learnt that my Garmin Aera500 mounted on the dash of my bird records data when I fly! So that may be my answer.

I will keep you posted.

Just an update for those watching at home - Not even the guys at GoPro can assist with my issues. How good is that! NOT!

Haven't managed to get to my bird for the data on the Garmin yet - hopefully this week.

Finally I have given up on Dashware. RaceRender solved my issues and is actually really good!

Farewell Dashware. LOL!

If you post some flying videos with the new overlays , let us know ...

Yeah I will. I have some stuff that I am putting together, and will post up when done etc.

Cheers
