Hey Clint!! yeah.. it works great. pretty good resolution, yet small and compact. Is this the same camera that you have mounted? Also, was your mounting bracket custom made? if not, where can I get one..

Thanks for the info..

 

I have a similar DV cam from Canon. The video quality is better than his because it is much newer, but for all intent and purpose either work just as good. Yeah, I custom designed and had that bracket cut for me. The concept is pretty simple. I do need to find a wider angle lens that is better than the 0.7x I'm using, so I can capture a wider field of view. Something in the 0.5x range or lower would be nice.

I also have some nice footages from Spring Mountain, but damn the stupid PC ... it fried my Canon's i/o ports/

 

Man that spinout was great talk about eating dirt. LOL! Got on the throttle to soon or to much....luv it.

 

I just checked out that vid. WOW.. thank god there were no walls to slow your spin... was that on street or race tires? I was just amazed on how Aaron's car stuck to the Spring Mtn. track..

more.. more..... I like those vids...

as for camera car mounts, I found this..

 

That was on a set of dying R-compound tires. You wanna see close ... check out this one.
It was about as scary as the close call I had at Laguna Seca.

btw, the Cruisecam mount is neat, but very quirky to use. I also did not like the actual camera mount (head) they have.

HOLY CRAPP!!!! yeah.. that's cutting it waaaaaay too close..

I like the slow-mo narration...

The only thing that would be going through my mind is
HOLY SHEIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Excellent vids Aaron!

And I love the sound of your high reving engine.

 

No doubt!!!

 

And I love the part where the wipers are used to slosh off all the dirt.

 

And closing of the visor at the very end of the clip.

 

And here's my contribution to the close call archive from Laguna Seca last year (for those of you who haven't seen it before). Got Ballz?

 

gotta hand it to ya Clint.. you stayed calm and safely maneuvered your car from hitting that wall.. nice job..!!

 

Clint thanks for the vid's I forgot what a G with an intake sounds like

I kind of miss that mean growl. The lear Jet gets annoying after a while

 

LMAO! Dude, I've got to take the Lear Jet out for a spin at California Speedway in July!

 

Damn that's some crazy video. Makes me pucker just watching.

That was good driving skill seeing how you instantly reoriented yourself to driving backwards and avoided the wall.

Whew!
