I am having trouble figuring out what perspective I'm looking at? Where was the camera mounted?

Camera was mounted passenger side lower windshield. You should be able to rotate the view 360 degrees on the X axis and 240 on the Y axis. If there is not a grey circle with arrows on the upper left of the video it may not have loaded correctly.

Cool videos. I didn't get the grey circle with arrows, but the perspective was interesting.

Drove an excellent LBC road over the weekend, Hwy 1 between Olema and Stinson Beach. Really wished I had the Healey, a MH was way too wide.

Just noticed message that 360 playback is not supported on my browser (Safari)

if you have an iphone or pad load the video's in the youtube app and you can view them that way. Also you can move the view by either your finger or by moving the phone its self.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Microsquish "Edge" browser does support the grey-arrow thing... and it's amazing how you can pan the camera around!
How did you do that? Is there some sort of GoPro feature?

I could even pivot the camera up to the sky! Must have been a special camera to capture all that data.

Funny that all the posts are on the technology, and not on the drive!

What car are you driving? It's not the Titanium Grey Metallic!

Also, THANK YOU for not adding a sound track. Hearing the car's engine and gear changes are music to my ears.

Well, the roads were amazing too. Lots of real driving to enjoy (and view too). Still, WHAT camera does that?

It's a 360 fly 4k camera. Single camera with a special lens that give you the extended view.

The car is a 67 MGB GT. The Grey one is down for paint and general overhaul.

I finally got it to work using Opera browser. That looks like it was a fun drive! Some parts of that road remind me of the Hiway 14 (Turquoise Trail) that runs from just east of Albuquerque north to Santa Fe.

You drove a BRITISH car on the 4th of July?
Something ironic there.
