The Best Motorsport Bullet Camera & More

The Aim SmartyCam 3 GP Pro camera system uses a robust and compact bullet camera making it perfect for single seaters, motorcycles, and other applications where cockpit space is limited.

The camera is available in three lens versions, each with a choice of a bullet camera length of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m or a custom cable length and a 2m or 4m CAN expansion cable, making it one of the best motorsport bullet cameras in the industry, with even more advanced features.

Please Note:  The camera MUST be externally powered as the internal battery is only designed for initial configuration, and returns are not accepted for custom cable lengths.

Why Choose the Aim SmartyCam 3 GP Pro

The SmartyCam 3 GP Pro is purpose-built for harsh motorsport environments, eliminating the seasick “wave effect” of standard cameras with its global shutter CMOS sensor that handles engine vibrations at high RPM. Whilst staying true to the unmatched features of the standard SmartyCam 3 GP, the SmartyCam 3 GP Pro features a 64GB internal EMMC storage that operates on a loop recording basis, overwriting the oldest files when full. Its two AS Micro Xtra Lite Deutsch connectors also offer enhanced durability and reliability in professional racing environments.

The Aim SmartyCam 3 GP Pro features a coaxial bullet cable with enhanced electromagnetic noise protection, an integrated CAN bus hub with dedicated ports for bullet cam, video output, GPS, and expansion, plus an optional CAN ECU connection for direct access to ECU data via Aim protocols. Designed in machined aluminium and sealed to high waterproof standards, the GP Pro withstands extreme weather and vibrations, while sound recording can be improved with an external mic. Paired with free Race Studio 3 software, drivers and teams can easily split and compare laps for detailed video analysis and performance review.

SmartyCam automatic track selection & overlay feature

Automatic Track Selection & Overlay

SmartyCam 3 GP can automatically recognise which track you're on and begin mapping - if your track does not register, you can create your own custom track within Race Studio 3.

With Race Studio 3 software you can also configure your overlay. Add your logo and track map; choose your graphic elements from a list of pre-determined sets with the same layout or even single objects from different sets, and your videos will be truly yours.

View all the channels, including RPM, throttle, engaged gears, acceleration, temperatures, and pressures including a tri-axis accelerometer, displayed on the video footage and review them with our Race Studio 3 analysis software.

Video Output/Streaming

SmartyCam 3 GP Pro features a video output with SD interface. It allows you to send the video/audio directly to wherever you choose, for example your pit crew, at 30 or 60fps.

Key to Performance Improvement

Data analysis in motorsport is a formidable framework for enhancing your personal or team’s performance. You can visualise and manage alerts and essential data such as oil pressure and battery voltage to identify potential issues early.

The video of a whole session, once downloaded on your PC, can be split into individual videos of each lap: sync your video and data to visualise where you were faster or slower. The same operation can be performed with a SmartyCam 3 video recorded on the same track; you will be able to compare your best lap with a previous lap, or another driver's personal best.

All The Data You Need

From speed, RPM, and lap number, to gear shifts and much more, data can be read from all possible sources. From GPS; track map and vehicle position as well as speed, lap and split times, or from an Aim logger; RPM, throttle, engaged gear, acceleration, temperatures, pressures can be recorded as well.

Containing a full internal datalogger, all data received from the CAN bus and from the internal sensors are recorded in .mp4 files produced at the end of your test, your SD (or MSD) Card contains all the information you need for a deep data analysis.

Higher Storage Capacity

Other HD cameras often chase higher pixel counts which leads to huge file sizes without much real benefit. The SmartyCam 3 GP Pro is different: it uses smart H.264 compression settings that keep the video quality you need while keeping file sizes small. This means you can quickly download and review footage at the track for data analysis, instead of dealing with huge cinematic files that look pretty but slow you down.

Choose between three file quality levels: One hour recording = 4GB (high quality), 2GB (normal quality) or 1.5GB (lower quality).

The SD card housing on the Aim SmartyCam 3 GP Pro is 100% protected from air and weathering.
