Hey guys,

Considering buying a camera to strap onto/into the car to record drives and track events..any suggestions on brands and models?

I vaguely remember seeing someone on here posting a link to a camera they had just bought..a nifty little thing that seemed specifically made for in-car use.

I did search the forums on here but just came up with a crapload of results about traffic cameras, regular digital cameras, etc. but nothing specifically about in-car recordings.

Appreciate any input you guys may have and hopefully this thread will be of use to someone looking for something similar in the future too!

Cheers,
~S

 

A ton of people have been getting and using the GoPro cam.

Here are a ton of example videos:

I'm using a Sony P&S camera. I prefer the image quality over most of the dedicated action sports camera and having the versatility of using it for more than one thing.

 

LOL. 4th video from the first post was from my car =D

I use the contourHD 1080p that was recommended by Mac.

 

I use the GoPro Motorsports HD camera. My daytime recordings are pretty good (r5/1080p and spot meter mode on) when aimed correctly.

 

Thanks for the tips, guys! Will have to think about it..wanting a real DSLR too, so need to consider the budget here.

Voodoo, may I ask how/where you hook up your P&S for your recordings? May as well try that too see if I really need something significantly better.
