Buying In Car Camera

Hefler · 03-09-2011, 04:37 PM

I had bought a cheapo flip camera to put on my brothers dirt car ( did not want to spend a lot of $$ to see it get ran over haha) , they are $99.00 from best buy...I mounted mine on my brothers mini sprint dirt car and was blown away by the quality of the picture and the sound (for being on a rough dirt track)..It has 1/4 mounting thread on the bottom, i used a L bracket that i hose clamped to the cage and then used wide masking tape to make sure it did not fall off haha.I really think it has a picture as good as any but its not as easy to mount as others, its cheap though and very tough.
I will post a link to the video below, and also a link where i mounted it rather quickly ( and way to low ) in the car i was driving at the bracket final in Ennis..

It actually takes till about 2.40 into the video before the race actually starts

Drag race video (can not see much and i did not put maskin tape on it so its not real steady)

And oh yeah this one is kinda neat with the camera facing backwards..The track is very tacky and he has a pretty good engine in his car which shines on a tacky track ( Can not do any thing to the engines, so yes it has a few stock eliminator tricks LOL!) Turns the engine 16,200 rpm.

The heat race starts about 2.00 into the video below.
