just want some help on this...

due to running out of time/money and will to live ive not pulled my finger out and got a headrest mount.

so in true Marco fashion.. im doing a DIY one last min

2 choices...

1. bit of wood, 2 holes to go through the headrest and one for the camera's tripod mount hole thing

2. bit of metal, 2 holes to go through the headrest and one for the camera's tripod mount hole thing

which one would be better and get less vibration??

opions welcome!

p.s not sure where to put this so mods move it to where ever you feel it needs to go!

What's the base of the camera like? I stick mine to my dashboard using strong velcro....works very well

Yeah, but it's not like you're going very fast and subjecting it to huge G-forces Miss Daisy!

Velcro won't work, simply becuse you'll find that you'll be asked to show that you are using a proper fixed mount on most track days ... even the suction cup mounts aren't generally allowed now

Indeed. The marshals won't allow it Steve.

But fear not, as I have about half a dozen mini dv cameras (same as Reuben used at Spa). Simply plug in a smartphone memory card and cable tie it to your bumper, and you'll get a ground level view, with accompanying engine noise.

They are an excellent trackday recording solution.

I'll do them for £10 each. All charged and ready to record.

Dan - how do these work exactly?

Are they able to be recharged and re-used?

Ross

Yes, they are rechargeable from mains, all Inc in the box. With a cd supplied with software to download from a memory card, which can be deleted afterwards and reused.

Simple, but surprisingly good sound and audio

Sounds good mate - I'll take one - I have a specific road I wanna video and watch back (nothing illegal)

Ross

Dan, I'll I take one, if I may?

Will it be ready to roll for Donny?

What memory card does it take (and any limit on memory size)?

Cheers

Just out of interest,which ones are they,very tempted by this

Cheers
Jon

All, I've posted specifics on the donny track thread!

Hi Guys,
Have a look at this device. It suctions to the windscreen and delivers HD video, GPS mapping, G-force, speed and all saved to a Micro SD Card and costs around US$200 to US$300.
Really cool looking toy.

Go to ebay and search for GS600

No good for track day recordings due to the sucker mount.

Hey dan.

Have I missed the comments on the camera?

Ross

Well Marcos camera mount was in true style a DIY Marco Jobby

10/10 for innovation
and to be honest it worked VERY WELL.

I will let marco supply the photos

I will supply photos soon as I take it back out of the car!!

The mount was BRILLIANT!!

It managed to pick up engine noise, people talking and gives you a great view of the track!!

And the best thing, it's cheap!!!!!!

*Imagines a camera duct taped to his chest hair*



Ross

It was a very good solution.

Hats off to you Marco!

Cheap? Wasn't it free?

Dan, stop spoiling the fun!!

I was planning a classic Marco wright up

Best write it up soon then

My creation
