On board camera.....
 
Evening all
Im looking into getting a bullet camera to mount on my car when I go out in just to record some footage...
Has anybody done this if so what is the best reasonably priced equipment.
I know I need a
1. Bullet camera
2. avi recorder of some discription with a screen
3. a mic
where would be the best place to position the mic so as to nuch get the wind noise.
Just curious if anyone has done this maybe on a track day or something.
would be nice to hear of any advice and possibly models of avi recorders etc
cheers in advance

I would suggest say an archos player with a camera , you could get loads of hours of record time

was thinking of an archos but because of the hard disk and obviously while driving the thing might bounce a bit would prob be best with one that records onto an sd card...

I've used one of these before, not the best of quaility but good value for the money. (Its also water proof)

They can be found on ebay amongst others, Search for helmet cam.

The Archos units are great; we use three of them and a picture-in-picture unit on the race car. No problems with skipping.

We also have a recorder that records on to memory cards and that's great too.

You need to get cameras around 480 lines- any less and the fottage will be rubbish.

We've used these guys Motorsport Cameras and Helmet camera bullet cameras. There's a guy that sells on ebay under the name 4kam- I'd avoid him. The last bits we bought off him were second hand and damaged, and he refused to give us a discount.

Hope this helps :)
