Good news first: If all goes well, we should be seeing these guys by the end of the month. Hopefully there's more accuracy in that statement then we normally see in this industry!
More good news: The version we're due to receive is the 3rd version of this camera with several improvements:
- Externally mounted GPS antenna is now optional. Prior versions relied on an internal antenna that proved to loose its signal in some environments (it is sitting INSIDE the car after all!)
- Improved video - the quality of the video recording has always been on the low side in the eyes of AIM USA. Their complaints have been heard, and the chipset supposedly greatly improved.
- True Data-logging abilities - the data and video will both be recorded separately and importable into AIM's Race Studio software. Before this update, the data recorded into the unit could only be embedded in the video feed and not viewable for outside analysis.
I'm sure there are other updates that are less significant. AIM is proving itself to be a company that is continually tinkering with and bettering its product. Now that I think about it, the only bad news is the wait - I NEED to start playing with one of these right now!
