Video Cameras For Motorsport Use

[ssxRicho]

the panasonic looks great. are you coming to deca?

imo the gopro is good for what it is. as long as you can compress the video well, it comes out ok.

i've found the sound is best through headphones (although that maybe because of the crappy laptop speakers.)

Here's a couple of vids from Lakeside last week.

Specialised Driving Services kindly placed a new V Box Video in my car for a couple of session, I'm mighty impressed by it! Not cheap, but SDS is looking at putting on a rental fleet of these systems Could be the go I reckon

[Roy]

Nice vids Ben. Is that vid package for sale as a kit?

[Marlin]

Sure is mate, it's about 3.5k, but great quality video, 2 pencil cameras, and can also plug into OBD port for dash data

Not cheap, but shit hot

[Roy]

LOL, ok, any news on the pogo springs or the italian gearbox? Money is better spent on making car quicker

[Marlin]

Yeah MC is comin back to me on a Johnny Cash $ for the pogo springs, 3 sets

[sav man]

italian gearbox?

vids look good, didn't realise how low geared the gtst's are till i saw the speed.

[Roy]

Yeh, 180km/h and i am into ...yah and a box from a F430

[fatz]

just ordered a sony high deff 270 gig hard drive

should be here next week

takes 12 mega pixel stills as well

also has a gps antenna so you can track where your going on google maps

should be good

[Marlin]

Sounds cool Fatz, let us know what you think.

Savman, I only rev the thing to 7 or so, it's not that short, well, it probably is compared to the whales you're used to

[sav man]

I just had a look at my datalogs from targa. top of mount claude i changed to 5th 7500rpm 216kmh. i know at symmons 8500rpm gets the car to 230-235. big whales need big tall gears

Was doing a bit of homework today and need to get a setup for the end of the month. Came accross the HQR2 Recorder with Sony HQ Camera kit. See ... http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/hqr2-head-camera-package.htm

Is there any real difference between the Pov 1.5s 720x480 and this cameras 720 x 576??? It is more compact and easy for me to get at present

Make sure you get a memory stick for it Pete.

The hard drive will lock itself when it detects vibrations.

Other than that it's a good camcorder.
