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. |

I got to film with Chris one day a few months ago. It didn't go as well as I would have liked.
1. My friend was using the larger camera that I normaly use in the pits and on the side of the track. So I only had my in car camera. 2. I had never filmed in a open cockpit car before. Chipped the lense to death. I didn't notice it till later and all the stuff I filmed afterwards was kinda shot. Both these things kinda bit me in the ass. But you live and learn. Have 3 cameras incase one is broken or lost. Have to get out there again with Chris this year. But I got some cool in car of him racing. http://www.veoh.com/videos/v12639924QhkK9DM?c=porschetv For the internet you don't really need HD quality. I edit in HD but down convert for the net. What I find is even if I upload in HD most people can't watch it. Even my home computer cannot play HD quality. OH incase this didn't come up. Hard Drive and DVD cameras don't work in race cars. To much vibration. I would imagine in a few years you will see 20 gig compact flash cards replace tape which would be really nice. |
