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. |

All the videos posted on my site were made using a Sony MiniDV camera (forgot which exact model), mounted to the rollbar with the I/O port mount.
One trick is to keep the arm of the mount as short as possible, another is to use a wide angle lens and set the focus to infinity. Im not sure if my camera has image stabilization or not. Most of the clips are taken in a 800hp car with 700# and 900# springs.... I use ulead software to edit and compress the clips. Video clips. |
