I don't know about photo bucket I know that you can down load them to your computer and save them. then when you want to send it to this thread. if there is a icon saying insert image. and you have to find it and upload it other then if it don't work then I am not sure. I have not up loaded any pics yet. I would like to build a mobile weather station but having trouble where should I get one or get the parts. davis told me that they don't recommended to keep it on your vehicle while driving down the road. if you do have any pics. or instructions for a basic you can send them to my email. which is [email protected]

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Wow, this is a really old thread that's been resurrected, but I'll offer a few thoughts since it's been 7 years since my last post on it.
I would advise against any long-term vehicle mounting of consumer-grade instruments like a Davis or OS. It's really just throwing money away because they are just too flimsy to stand up to all of the highway driving and hail encounters. You'll break or wear out the bearings of the anemometer and wind vane every season if you chase regularly. The Inspeed is much more robust and will last longer, but it will still wear out with a lot of highway driving.
Instead I'd probably make something easily removable that could be mounted quickly at the start of a chase, that way you minimize the wear and tear.
If you can afford it, consider something with an ultrasonic anemometer that has no moving parts. That's the only thing I personally would consider doing myself if I was inclined to collect mobile data again.
