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.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
