So has anybody played around with doing in-car video's? What sort of camera mount are you using? Thanks!

sort of okay for straight line......

(closed circuit, professional stuntdriver etc. disclaimer

)

you could of course just tape it to the dash or something.....

I've done a handheld video myself and it wasn't very good....

It gets the point across, but I am just wondering who has had luck with camera mounts. I've researched it a bit and have found some different models, but was hoping somebody here on the board has used one.

Yup! I made my own camera mount out of 1/8" thick flat steel and bolted it to the metal shelf behind the seats.

Very nice Keith! The "Track Vision" that appears at the bottom of the screen, is that a seperate program, or is it something that was provided by that particular track. VERY COOL!

Thanks! Trackvision is a software program that imports data from whatever data logger you use and creates the dashboard overlay that you merge with your video.

A friend used two exhaust clamps welded to a base to clamp it to the cross bar..

great vid Keith! I love it how the valve (dunno the right name) in the hood opens each time!

Thanks for all the help. I talked to a few other sources and found the following:

http://chasecam.com/ In car camera setups. $$$ but looks pretty good.

Then for mounts I found these guys
http://www.b-hague.co.uk/camera_suct...uum_mounts.htm
Again, not the cheapest in the world, but pretty good looking stuff. On a few euro sites guys swore by these mounts!

Anyway, just thought I would share my findings.
