I hope this is in the correct forum. If not please move. I am interested in knowing what types of cameras are being used to video their driving experiences. Specifically are any using home camcorders or digital cameras in the video mode. Any of you that saw my video of my start up know it was on an ancient camera that had video mode that barely got the video and audio together. It was so old the video could not be any longer than 90 seconds. Well, Santa got me a new camera for Christmas. A 12 megapixel Olympus Fe 4010 with Master 2 software. It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and half as thick. Can these cameras be mounted to the roll bars? Are there mounting systems for videoing the drives? It appears to have a mounting hole on the bottom. I haven't gotten into the camera yet to see what all it can do. Will spend some of the down time this week to learn about the camera and try it out.
Would it be better to get a Chase cam etc for this function? The digital recorders are a bit pricey so I would like to find a way that isn't too expensive as it won't be done on a regular basis. More for my own library of the various tracks I hope to visit. I saw one of the new cameras at Road America that is very small(about 2" square and used a velcro system to mount . I believe there was a roll bar attachment for it as well. Don't remember the price as it was a new item. Any ideas would be appreciated.
