Just finished killer track night yesterday & have more coming up. Anyone know what the options are to adding an in-car video camera?

 

1. Add a techequipment rollbar and buy camera mount that attaches to it.
2. Buy small camera and suction mount and attach it to the passenger side window. (Might be a temporary option)

 

Is that a full rollbar or just a stiffening brace?

 

Or, how bout a stickypod, and get some footage from OUTSIDE the car? will they allow that at the track? Probably not. Lame. Nevermind.

 

Anyone use this? Looks cool, I assume it plugs into your regular video camera.

the vivid racing camera sounds promisiing

 

Manfrotto makes an special tripod to be mounted inside and outside the cars, they make the best tripods for the pros.
I don't have the link but it's easy to find it on the web.

 

I use a suction window mount, works pretty good.

 

Which one? Where did you buy it?

Thanks, considering the MNT-S31 at CHASECAM.COM

 

I have tried them all. This is by far the easiest and the strongest suction.

The have now for almost the same price the http://www.filmtools.com/gripsuccupca.html which they show stuck on the outside of the car!!!!

 

I use the exact same mount. However, I would purchase a separate bullet cam to plug into your camcorder (used as a recorder). Have the recorder in your glovebox or some place secure, while the light bullet cam is all that's is being supported by the mount.

If you have a sunroof, you can mount it upside down to get a really nice angle: [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=n1Akl-sMQ9I[/media]

You can also, create an aluminum support bar that zipties to your seats (I even tried this on my fixed buckets) and mount the bullet cam on that using a part of the chasecam mount as a swivel/adjust.

 

Thanks bought the http://www.filmtools.com/gripsuccupca.html !!! looks very strong...
