This my incar footage from the recent MR2 Series meet and greet at Silverstone, it is a bit dark as I had it too far back inside the car, the footage I shot at Llandow is much better

But for £10 you can't complain

(I know it looks slow, but the engine was just about to sieze!!)

coupled it up as a webcam colour was okay and just messed about recording same a gain no probs with colour not recorded anything in car yet. As spdbug98 has identified needs to be close to a light source as this is what cameras rely upon light coming in

How have you stopped the wind noise, I have found it is fine in the MR2 race car, but not been able to stop the wind noise in the MNR (even when covered in duct tape!)

wind in your hair noise or wind in the pants noise, both can be reduced by driving slower lol

If you use it in the kitcar need to plug into a inverter

the inverter reason being like so many if you use the cigarrette lighter an USB for constant power source the camera wont record. Take it from an ac inverter source and it records giving constant power, reducing the chance of stopping due to battery life

Driving slower.........not too sure what you mean

ETA: What is this inverter you put in the post above. The only problem I have had to date is the Power On time

This is my first effort (2 others linked on the page as well).

Camera is on a mount made from an exhaust U clamp round the rollbar diagonal cross bar

Wind noise is OK-ish. Colour seems OK

Been using one for nearly a year filming my rgb races, absolutly ideal bit of kit. I have a few videos on my website, the latest one and another at anglesey isn't brilliant as the lens got wet due to the rain. The rear facing camera shots are from an oregon, and shows how much better the later DV ones are
