Any advice/suggestions for mounting a video camera in our track only car? There is virtually no interior left and a bracket would be fabricated and welded into place for mounting.
Any brand/model recommendations? Any brands/models to avoid? The car is a DE only vehicle. What I THINK I want is a small, lightweight camera that stores video on Digital Tape, and can be powered from the car 12v system. I want something that will be easy to transfer video to a PC and then burn DVD's to be played in stand-alone players. I want enough resolution that it will look decent full screen on a television. It will need to be hard wired as there is no lighter plug (or dash for that matter). Thanks in advance for your replies. |

Here is a link to my first attempt:
3 laps at Heartland Park It did suffer from compression, but it does work. |

It did suffer from compression, but it does work. John, check this link for tips on uploading video to youtube. I haven't tried it but the sample videos they show sure look good. http://www.squidoo.com/youtuberight/ On another note, I'm having some problems with my canon hv20 (hi definition, tape) in the car environment. Once the car is moving, the videos become nearly unwathchable because of the vibration. I/O port mount, manual focus, antishake on and still terrible. Nice picture when the car is moving slowly though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

My original method seems to be the best so far, but I'm fairly confident that I'm missing many things. |
