First, check with the orginizers of the event you want to go to, because some don't want anything attached with duct-tape or what not, but actually have to be rigid mounted whether inside or out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey all - I have a DE event coming up and want to use some kind of vid. camera to record from the outside of the car. Curious what has worked for any of you? I was thinking of some sort of suction mount..... Maybe a micro camera hooked into my Sony DV Cam incar? Would appreciate any ideas........ Thanks, Jeev

POST 2Original post

Hey Jeev, make sure and check out my setup at the DE event in March. I use a Canon ZR series camera. The reason I do is that it shoots in 16x9 and my editing software on my computer (iMovie on the MAC) allows me to create a DVD in 16x9. This allows me to watch my video after the event on my 65" widescreen tv!!!

POST 3Original post

Jeev - I use a Canon Elura 40mc and have been really happy with it. I think the most important component is actually the mount as you want something solid & stable. Prior to cage bars - I borrowed a friend's ioport suction mount which did a great job providing a stable image. This is the mount which we used: http://www.chasecam.com/mounts-suction.htm Hope it helps!

POST 4Original post

I've a Sony P200 digital camera taking MPEG movies and it works fine, it's mounted on a harness bar though.

POST 5Original post

As others have stated, mounting is crucial for best picture.

POST 6Original post

You want one outside, right? First, check with the orginizers of the event you want to go to, because some don't want anything attached with duct-tape or what not, but actually have to be rigid mounted whether inside or out. Next, you'd want a lipstick cam. There's tons available with wide ranging prices. Google with search words lipstick cam. I looked into it in the past. I ended up getting a Sony video cam (16x9 aspect, 20x zoom), with external video input jack for the lipstick cam. That way I can chose either an in-car view or lipstick view. Problem is, I am having so much fun with the camera as is I havent gotten the lipstick cam yet. Or, better yet, do a search at the racing board here at rennlist for lipstick cam. You'll get more info than you want. Here's one thread: Video cam

POST 7Original post

Good catch Palting. I just re-read his post and realized he is talking about outside not inside. Ooops. Anyway, Jeev, I will show you both the interior mount I use AND the exterior mount I have. It is a vacuum based suction based rally mount with a 50lb rated threshold. I used it on the interior before I had a harness bar and attached it inside to the rear glass.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds good!!!! I will try the lipstick route. Thanks for all the great info guys!! See you at the track Dell! Jeev
