Ordered one of these up from our very own Nathan the other day

and had a moment of panic last night

I never ordered up the display screen so how do you know the cameras are sitting correctly and not upside down or the likes??

Small problem I know but prior to the barrage of questions i'm going to be asking when i fit it i thought it best to get this one out the way

The cameras have a direction line on them makesure they are on top and straight.

Also get a 16 meg memory card a good tip from jimbo

You can use the setup program on the PC to view the camera output via usb too.

just get Nathan's number so you can pester him night and day

the direction markings on the camera make them pretty easy to line up

just make sure you take the lens cap off

As Nath says, I always take laptop with me, and just plug into USB lead, then using the VBOXsetup software, just click on preview from camera and adjust accordingly !
NOTE : A point worth remembering is that if you upload a scene say to the VBOX and its got the date and track details of say Spa, with who you went with etc., if you dont delete or update the scene, when you next go to a trackday, the video output will be over written with those same details so you can have a video of you at Knockhill, but the track map, and text etc. could be whatever you did previous ...dont ask how I know

Please refer to Shimmy for this. He's a f*ckin' genius lining up VBox camera's! Back to front, 45 degree tilt, you name it and he's done every way but straight.

Apparently applies to his sexlife as well but we won't go there today.
