In Car Video

I have done several videos - its very easy and very inexpensive to do yourself if you already have a camera.

I have a Kodak Camera that was $200 last year from Costco. But actually, the two videos I have I didn't use that camera with, I used my old POS HP camera that was very out dated.

I have a $20 tripod I got from Walmart. It has three legs (hince the tri part, eh?) that adjust to whatever length you want them to be, so you put it in the backseat of your car and level it by adjusting those legs. Put this tripod close to the roll cage so you can wire tie it down. Make you its very secure so nothing breaks loose on the launch. As long as you do that then the picture won't be blurry or wobbly. Put camera on tripod and have someone hit record when you're ready.

I can help anyone do this, can use my camera and tripod, but lets do it during time runs only.
