Dazzi Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I just mount my camera on the tripod in the back and make sure the passenger seat is as far enough back to stop it moving - works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yea i have used my camcorder but i thought with a bullet cam i could get better angles like on the front bumper or trailing on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 For all vehicle filming equipment, try HERE. Click on 'Shop' and then 'Product Overview'. (I'd use a direct link but it uses your session id and the link wouldn't work anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That may all be very well Dan but you can't do anything about sunglare. Your Video from the meet was cool just a bit glary, couldn't be helped though. I struggled to see where I was going at times that day as the Dash-shine made it even worse.

Suprash Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Mate I have a great little camera book marked on my laptop at home on Ebay, its about the size of a carrot, lol, only thing I could think of lol, prob a bit shorter, but it records straight onto a HD card, camera comes with a HD card and off Ebay it was about £100, in colour as well.......my mate bought one and I was very impressed, no hassle setting up, no hassle recording, just mount it where you want and press the button and go, then pull the card out and save it on your PC......
