Track cams
Thought this might be a good idea for us track fans.
List of cams, rating, review etc. Got this one the other day, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110528996793 Only fitted atm, hopefully try it out next weekend to get some video quality tests etc. The build quality is good, has loads of accessories and came with a small remote recording button. |
that looks pretty good for the price tbh,howmuch did it cost you in total? did you get any import duty on it? i await the review mate, might buy one of these myself if its any good.

My first camera recoding experience was using this
Flip Video Ultra Camcorder - 0.31 MP - Black I used it on a Top Gear Test Track day. It was my mates as I was currently saving for one at the time. Its a great little cam. Simple to use and great quility. Here are 2 videos which it recordered. My Saxo on the Top Gear Test Track 1 - 09/05/09 My Saxo on the Top Gear Test Track 2 - 09/05/09 Due to its size I simple slotted it into my phone holder in which it held perfectly well. Altho I would highly advised where possible get a clamp and screw camera holder like so: Clamps and roll cage mounts for bullet cameras ****----****----*****----- At French Car Show I decided to get something simple and ended up with this: 808 car keys micro-camera Again another good bit of kit but no screen and no feedback regarding battery, time remaining or whether it is actually recording so I wouldnt recommend it. FCS 13-06-10 Sax-p Track Session ****----****----*****----- I'm now using JVC Picsio Pocket Cam HD SD/SDHC - Black Used it once @ Trax '10 for my session on the silverstone track. Fantastic bit of kit, great quility. Unfortnatly I didnt back it up and used the same memnory card for something else and well fubar'd it and lost the footage. |
I have an iPod nano held on with Velcro
does the trick |

Thats what I use seems robust as ive put it through some shit on my MTB too. Cant grumble for the money I would recomend it. even if you have a proper camera setup for the sake of £10 you could mount one of these to the back or something to give you an alternative view etc. Some footage shot on mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJLs3WXWkiE Very good for the money Only downer is you have to take a laptop or something to download the footage onto. Although a 8gb card sees over an hour of footage and the battery lasts around 2 hours. Good for the nurburgring too as people dont look in your lower grille ;) |

Have you got a link to these? Also how do you get what you have filmed onto the computer with it being so small? |
I took one of those ^^^^ round Europe with me - great camera for the price!!
Quality and sounds is pretty good really It has a plug in the bottom you connect it to the computer via USB and downloadvthe videos - it takes a micro SD |

Here's a vid on track with one of those camera's.. :y: (Please note not me just a random guy but for the purposes of this thread is handy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXo-XOg_tpE |
I was fortunate to pick up a racelogic video vbox for a very cheap price a few months back. Havnt used it yet nor have an idea how to use it but it's a good bit of kit. It's a bit too 'pro' for what I will use it for but it was an absolute bargin so couldn't refuse it as they are mega expensive brand new. Ive been told it's a bit tempremental but is fine 90% of the time.
As I use my car everyday it's a bit too OTT to have it hard wired in and I'll be honest it's just been sat in my wardrobe haha. I used a keyring cam like the ones in this thread for Anglesey and Oulton though. Was pretty good quality for £7 although you can't really tell if it's recording or not lol! |
I'm guna be using 2 Go Pro hd next year!
The reviews and footage on youtube look amazing! They are pricy, but work have 2 that I can pinch! |

I bought one of those keyfob cameras off ebay, cant complain for money.
I taped it to my front bumper for a hillclimb and it came out pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cawI6d9IGJs |
My friend has the contour HD GPS which he used for snowboarding, guessing it could be used for a track day as well? Not sure how accurate the speed is though
