What camera setups are you folks using?

Maybe a few pics of your equipment and a link to a vid to show quality would be good.

Also any good suppliers that can help with the kit.

TIA

 

Yeah interesting.

Any adapters to plug a normal hand held cam in? Ive seen them for head rests for non bucket seated cars. Anything for normal cars? Got a High Def cam corder, would be cool to get it recording in car too.

 

I use one of these (the 42 quid one) with Panasonic vid cam.

Roll bar and cage mounts for bullet cameras

that's a well handy link there!

 

The joys of working in IT and having nothing to do for 8 months.

I bought some of the 15 quid ones and sold them on ebay for 30 odd quid each

 

I bought my kit from Action Cameras. The beauty of this is that you can mount the camera on the outside of the car. The quality is good, even on a 42" plasma. I will post a vid up shortly but the youtube compression reduces the quality.

 

Cool which kit you got?

 

I bought a kit which included a camcorder and this camera 480 TV Line Bullet Camera - Action Cameras

Unfortunatley, it looks like that particular package has been discontined. Even though buying a camcorder is more expensive, I would recommend it as you have something you can use on holidays or at a family event. The camcorder I got was a Sony DCR-HC96. If you do go the camcorder route make sure you buy one with a video input!!

 

Went for something I could use my Digital camera or camcorder with.

Got a Hague mount, Camera Suction pads and Vacuum mounts which will hold upto 1.5kgs, so I can have my camcorder and camera mounted at the same time.

Tried a number of cameras, most with hard drives (which arent suitable in a car, especially the JVC Everios. Settled on a Sony mini-dv camera. Buy SONY DCR-HC51 | Mini dv camcorder - Cameras & Camcorders | Comet cheap enough if it gets smashed up then you dont care.

 

Keep em coming

 

Here's a vid of the action cam mounted on the roof. The quality is crap because of youtube's compression, I still need to play around with the settings.

I have the GoPro Hero. The picture quality is pretty good but the sound is poor and it kills batteries like my Girlfriends rabbit...

 

that looks exactly like what im after

The Hague mounts can fall off yes...
