Great video steve, boy you can drive in the wet!
I ordered my in car camera this week so looking forward to setting it up.

Chris_w · 3 Jun 2010, 16:33 (Ref:2703929)

Yes, very good video Steve, what setup do you use, I always get too much vibration when I've tried putting a camera in our car. What are you getting Tris?

I had the same problems with vibration so I got Big Dave to adapt it to fit a rubber cotton reel in between the mount and the screw thread. Seems to have worked a treat.

I had tried a hard drive Sony, but the resonance just kept shutting it down. The camera I bought is a Countour HD bullet cam that records straight to a micro SD card and I have to say I am really pleased with it. It comes with a helmet mount as well, so should be good for Karting & track days

This one Chris.
Nice budget unit that is ment to be good:

nice video Steve you did not show me waving to you.

rob and co i bought a camera at the brands gp meeting, it is a great bit of kit that does video and also has a gps thingy in it that when you play it back it gives you a postion on the track /your speed and acceleration and cornering G. it is 12volt and is 1" ssquare and 2" long and weighs 35grams. i thought it might be a bit crap but i gave it a go ,but it turned out to be brill .and at £200 i didnt think was half bad. check it out .

Code Red Man. · 5 Jun 2010, 11:09 (Ref:2705010)

Terry Searles bought one at the same meeting.....then, after replaying the first race to Gary Chappell......he immediately bought one too, had it fitted for the second race!! looks like a good piece of kit.

Great to see Bill Richards back behind the wheel today at Semsec Lydden meeting.
2 outright race wins in Bessie shows he's soon back to his winning ways just 7 weeks after his Brands crash.

MiniMadness · 5 Jun 2010, 19:51 (Ref:2705194)

Hi Steve where did you get that huge mirror from ?
Nice Vid by the way.

Graham you're right the orange Mini does have some straight line speed. Nice overtaking move Steve

Minicross424 · 5 Jun 2010, 20:23 (Ref:2705211)

The orange mini belongs to Colin Peacock but is being driven by Gerald Dale with his own engine in it and wheels as his is not rebuilt yet

I think I got it from Kane Astin who imported them from the USA, was a few years a go though - Sort of a Nascar replica

Cujo · 6 Jun 2010, 10:22 (Ref:2705395)
