Nice walk around video of you Preditor 8x8. You must have shot this video with a wide angle video lens?

thanx I used a go-pro2

It looks fish eyed to me. Is it suppose to? I put a video on youtube a while back and it did some weird things to it. I think it was because I agree to have it edited for shaky camera. Made some strange movements or something in the screen. The 1080 is awesome! Very crisp image.

I think it is just the setting I have it on .........there is a few different choices, I have not really played with the settings yet.

I watched a video about the Go-Pro 2 HD with a 170 wide angle lens and in close distances it makes the land scape look like its rolling. It also gives a fish eye effect as well.

hi all i have been away working this summer but now that i am home i have been working on my predator. so i wanted to give you all an update on where its at......... i relocated the rad to behind the engine instead of on top and i purchased a better hydraulic cooler which i also mounted behind the engine beside the radiator. i then made an aluminum engine cover with a railing around it so i can stoe gear and tie it in. i made new aluminum floor boards, made a bracket for the seat back. custom made an aluminum dash with new guages. i mounted a 4500lb winch head lights and tail lights. i redid all the wiring harness by soldering and heat shrinking all connections. mounted the upper and lower halves togeather and used truck topper foam as a seal thanx for the advice and sugjestions from all the members on 6x6 world. what i have left to do is the dual battery setup and fan controll switches and solinoids.

I like what you have done to the machine. I always thought the coolers mounted on top were not the best design, you fixed that. The aluminum work you have done looks first class and the 4500lb winch fits the front perfectly. The storage area will really open the machine up to hauling. I think you've done a great job and look forward to seeing some footage of the Predator out in the boonies.
