First video.

In that case, the most rigid mount you can make will help with the rolling shutter artifacts. (And help crisp things up a little).

If it has gopro-type mounts, buy yourself a roll bar mount off fleabay (about £5) makes all the difference....!

My mic was about £20 off amazon and has its own battery pack as my older go pro doesn't power external mic properly.

I have it through the dash and sat just beside my carbs which as you can hear allows plenty induction noise ;)

I have the official go pro roll bar mount which wasn't overly expensive.

Made a new mount and tried it out today. I couldn't really tell when it was filming or not and was quite surprised when it ran out of power at around dinner time. Found out why when I got home and down loaded the videos.

I've got two videos that last 32 minutes and some over 10, so I've probably got around 2 hours filming time. The mount isn't strong enough, and vibrates too much, mk2 needed.

The first video starts off clear, but about 20 mins in starts to get cloudy with condensation, but clears at about the same time the battery runs out.

I'll keep on trying.

Hello Robin.

 

You can borrow my roll bar mount if you want to try it.

Thanks Geoff, I'm going to try to work something out tomorrow.

I've had a go at a new mount for the camera,

This was my first attempt, but it wasn't rigid enough with it being mounted on the Perspex wind deflector. Unfortunately I seem to have deleted al the videos I took using this.

 

Second attempt, mounting on some angle then bolted to the 'screen pillar.

How do you do that. I just get the code, not the image.
