In Car Video

Where can I find reasonable in car video equipment? I only got a few seconds worth of video when I had the car out for the first (only) time.

I used my digital camera, at vegas with a small bracket hose clamped to the rollcage. The Picture was very nice, and recorded the full run. I will see if I can get it to load up.

S&W sells a bracket that hose clamps to the roll bars / cage so you can use a regular video camera. I have one in my bracket car and just one of the cheap $200 cameras from sams club. Works great to watch over gauges while testing stuff or trying to figure out a problem.

Oddly enough, I saw an ad in Sunday's paper for a "Motorsports Camera" at Pep Boy's, of all places. 199.99 with a mounting base. Records up to 2 hours. #GMHW5170. That's all I know about it, not a recommendation, but you might take a look at it.

I did see a LOT of video systems being shown at the PRI show. I seems like that is the hot ticket for road course and roundy-round guys. They look pricy though.

Try one of these. I heard good things about them for the price. http://www2.oregonscientific.com/sho...cid=14&pid=709
I think they're motion activated.

Try gopro.com, compact and durable, and easy to operate for about $200. I just got one and can't wait to use it. Also can be had with roll-bar mount and I believe is water resistant to 100-feet.

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.
