Onboard Race Cam!

[haggis]

Got this mini DV camera for my xmas, its absolutely tiny so its gone straight into my B4.1 for race night.



I used a bit of perspex bar screwed and glued onto the battery strap. its very low tech but its a solid position thats less likely to get hit.



I then butchered a spare shell (made an arse of the paint on it!) and gave the camera a good view and access for myself to turn it on.

Can get a bit blurry but not too bad for the price.

It will be interesting to see your footage from the side on angle.

Good luck hope it turns out well

Has anyone got some decent instructions for one of these cameras? I have one that I've used previously, but only records for a short time - circa 1 min. so could do with trying to sort it out. It has sufficient storage space, it just switches off.

It's not too bad other than that.
