AX vids, cool cam on pole, see the car plus driver - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Here is my region's SCCA gallery page. There are a bunch of vidoes of outside views of our competitors. But the coolest ones (IMO) are my "cone cam" movies. I have the bullet cam, and have it mounted on an 18" pole off the b-pillar. It gets a great wide angle view of the course, the car, and me in it, driving as well. It's way more fun than just an abstract on-bumper cam. I've looked at it to see how well I am really doing, since I can see myself and my actions and how I'm actually placing the car in the gates. :drive: (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

I a friend of mine wants to do something similar, but with the camera ending up above and behind the car to give that video game 'god' view, but really so you can see where the car is on both sides, and guage attitude.
