title should read good, not god.
i have a small lipstick camera that i do all my in-car video recording w/. this camera feeds directly to my Hi8 Sony camcorder. since i don't use the camcorder itself to record w/, i need/want to mount it in a container/box that will protect it from the harsh enviroment inside my CMC car. you guys have any good ideas for doing this? i was thinking an $8 battery box (plastic) lined w/ medium density foam would do the trick. any thoughts from you guys?

I got my setup at www.chasecam.com, i know it was probably more expensive than it could have been, but they have all the stuff in a nice kit. I made a lightweight arm extension, about 18 inches, and hang it off the b pillar at the autocross. It looks ungainly but is actually a kick-ass camera angle. I get to see what the wheel-nut is doing plus where I am on course! It rocks! I put the camera in the armrest compartment, but the cable are all RCA so I could just get an extension and run them to wherever.
Check out a video (need Quicktime) http://www.scca-susq.com/movies/050619Pavs...pitatorRun2.mov or some other stuff at http://www.scca-susq.com/photoslinks.html |
