I think you will find that GoPro is the current favourite , it can be linked to be controlled by an iPhone app. The iPhone acts as a remote monitor too.

Is anybody using the AirPro III? It is one I'm considering, but I haven't seen much feedback on this version of the ION product.

GoPro, have two in my car and they work well. It can be set to write NTSC or PAL.

Go Pro are the best at the moment. When I raced in Britcar they were fitted to our car by the TV companies for in car footage and worked very well. Not massive money either.

Many thanks for your helpful responses.
Time to investigate which model.

Charlie, I have several videos on my website below that were taken in car and on car with my GoPro cameras. I do all the editing with FinalCut. I will say when you start processing video, you will need a lot of storage capacity and a computer with a lot of memory and fast CPUs. Video is a major resource hog both in storage and editing.
