Sandown Film Crew :)

I have several different tripods/mounts including a nice new Manfrotto suction-based mount which I'll be trialing in (and on) Golgo this weekend.

If I make it down to Sandown I'm willing to let you guys borrow some stuff as I tend to handhold my still shots, and I don't care much for video.

[adznight]

Oooh Manfrotto, very nice!

deorbit - Not sure what brand, I've used it at Philip Island and seemed to be fine, I'll be bringing in anyhoo so we'll see!

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to get my hands on one of those chasecam camera mounts that has both a clamp fitting and suction fitting to place in my car for the 24th. If they arrive before I'll bring em along otherwise I'm just bringing my camera

Hey does anyone know where I can get one of those mini-cams that attach to your normal camera. Like the thing they stuck to the side of my car at the Dutton? I've tried looking them up but don't even know what Im looking for and can't find anything.

Cause that way you can secure the cam through the passenger seatbelt legally and gaff the "mini cam" either to the side or front of your car or the dash looking at the track or even at the driver (they did that at the Dutton - looks cool). The side shots of the car at the rear wheel watching the HICAS work look awesome as well.

I want one!

[inark]

google chasecam and conecam

there what im looking at getting... and so is ant now

[Ant97GTR]

Hey inark have you actually ordered one yet?? I'm trying to order mine today but no responce as yet I'm not getting the actual cameras they supply, although it is a poss. for future, as they need rc cables between the chasecam camera and your camera and I cbf running rc cables throughout my car. Instead I'm just ordering the clamp/suction mounts (they have a std tripod camera mount) and fitting my digi camera to it. Prob not brave enough to strap it outside my car as yet so just going to set it up for an incar view and see how I go.

[inark]

not yet.... im saving up for 2 conecam setups... so i can have 2 angles at once and a headrest cam mount... my mates ordered thru them before... he got a suction mount and headrest cam mount... took a while cause it was in the states but they respond to emails... eventually

[Snowman]

Na see this what I am after. Very cool. Can be put anywhere.

Snowman, you can get them from either Jaycar or Dick Smith for between $150-200.

And be careful with the mounts that use suction cups...in NSW they arent considered to be securely fastened, so may need to look into that further:(

the camera stats arent as good as the chasecam ones... i want quality so i can make up some DVDs

[Snowman]

But I could get one in time for Sandown (unlike my harness.)

I don't know how good a picture you expect from a camera stuck to the side of a car / top of a helmet but I'm tipping it aint going to be amazing.

Andrew, thats an excellent idea. I'll do a bit of research on this. We can have multiple cameras on multiple cars and capture *a lot* of good footage this way. Prolly the most efficient way to get in-car footage to supplement all the other footage.

shut up about the harness fool... bloody whiner

ive seen the footage that comes from the cone cams... its good.

[Snowman]

For reference you can see this image of my car from the Dutton where I have one of these bullet cams stuck to the side of my car just above and behind the front wheel. All held on with blue tape. The camcorder was secured to the passenger seat (via the seatbelt) and the mic was placed on the floor of the passenger side right up near the engine.

Afterwards (the next day) the stuck the camera on the dash and faced it towards Gerald who was driving so all you could see was his movements.

[inark]

thats the stuff u can do with cone came but as well has hold it on the side u can put it out a bit more... thats why im getting it.

doesnt cost too much...

[adznight]

[inark]
