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. :P

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 :D otherwise I'm just bringing my camera :P

nice one greg ur a champ... u not coming??

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!

Hey inark have you actually ordered one yet?? I'm trying to order mine today but no responce as yet :P 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.

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 :P

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

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.

Shivam.

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.

shut up about the harness fool... bloody whiner :D

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

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.

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
