Lakeside Laps v13 - 24 February 2013

[readerr0r]

Has anyone tried dashmounting or windscreen mounting a normal digital camera through a tripod mount at all at these happy laps? I'm asking as I want to overlay the go-pro footage with audio from inside the car (and perhaps have the interior footage in the top corner of the go-pro video) to try and get rid of the annoying wind buffetting and also to have a different persepective running at the same time.

Perhaps just record with your smart phone inside with a cheap phone mount?

That's the answer. Simply and effective. I've bought a new Belkin phone mount, though I have a bad feeling it may jiggle around like my $10 special... will be pee'd off if it does.

Alternatively, make a mount for the passenger head rest so you can SECURE it. Any attempt to use a tripod strapped down risks it moving when driving and being a projectile in the cabin. I have seen mounts for centre consoles, though is car dependent.

I've been looking at buying a go pro (though bought focal headphones instead ) though would run both the phone/camera and the go-pro. Or steal my old mans go-pro and run two of them

In the olden days before digital cameras and video phones. The 90's.

I used to run a hi8 video camera on a tripod in my MK1 for track days. I used a ratchet strap to pull it down to the floor. The footage I produced was pretty good, although very boring according to my wife

I was thinking something like this Car Dashboard Suction Mount Tripod Holder for Camera | eBay but better quality. Camera house had the professional (like what they use on top gear, 5th gear etc) dual, tri and quad suction cup mounts with a screw tripod camera mount but it was something like $140 for the triple cup one. I don't really want to spend more than $80. I was going to mount my new little toy Nikon J1 on it.

Last time I used a cheap windscreen mount and mounted it on my sunroof. Worked really well, high quality image with little vibration.

Egg, Nat, Sean, I've spoken to the Renault guys and they'd be happy to offer membership to ze Germans. One does not need to drive or own a Renault to be part of the club. Please PM me with your email address and I'll forward the details. That goes for anyone else interested in joining the RCCQ.

Hi lads, I had a few scary slides last friday at the BMW club track day. I still managed to get a 1:08 on the wet with my stock 210 bhp FWD mini but definitely not worth the risk, so lets hope is NOT raining ( eventhough this guy 'machine' starts bitching about it )

I'll see you all on sunday!!

BOM says shower or two, however it changes on an almost daily basis.
Otherwebsites are saying it will be fine.

Fingers crossed anyway.
