Here's some footage from Friday taken with my bullet cam. After much experimentation (and time wasted) I have ended up with a standard bullet cam (520) attached via AV in to a standard DV camera. The results speak for themselves. Do bear in mind it's heavily compressed for youtube.

Same as above I use a Sony bullet camera via the AV in to a Sony DV camcorder. As mine is mostly used on a Radical I use a low sensitivity mic. Has been robust enough to last two seasons so far. Oh the Sony DV is in a foam lined box otherwise the vibrations will quickly break it!

Again the video is compressed by You Tube and the Sony bullet camera is an older design so suffers more in variable light.

Thats got to be Chris Masons old sprint R,looks like he will need a few more hours behind the wheel before he gets to grips it

A guy I know bought Chris' car. That was an early session on his very first drive of the car on track and yeah, there's a lot to learn, bike engine, flappy change, mid engine, slicks etc. Should keep him busy for a year or two!
