samcooke Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I've got a Canon MV600i palm sized digi-video cam and I want to record some lairy Ghostrider style death cheating road racing footage. Anyone know what sort of clamp I can use to secure it to the rollbar and where to get one from? and also where to buy a bullet-type cam that plugs into my AV in socket. Merci.

studbuckle Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Do a search. Bannanman and I were talking about this in July/August last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 Done that. It was specifically something for my camera, or something the same size, I wanted a bit of reassurance on, don't want it bouncing down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bja02 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I bought one from Adrian Clinton Watkins two years ago - Very Very Very Very Good - Used it all the way down to Le Mans and back. Have seen others but none as good as this one - See Mr. ACW for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bja02 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Forgot to mention - The only thing i would say is that unless you have a muffler u get a lt of wind noise - i used some left over foam and stuck it onto microphone - also a good idea to buy a protective lens for the cam - stops all the dead flys and stone chips !!

Mike dB Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I've got a Manfrotto Super Clamp (#35) & Manfrotto Stud (#37) then a Ball & Socket joint from Jessops all in it cost £40 & there isn't any shifting that baby! Definitely get yourself a UV Filter lense (transparent) to protect the proper lense, about £6-£7 depending on size. As for the microphone if you've got £40 spare I would suggest an Audio Technica mic & putting it in the footwell. Otherwise there is NO way of combating the wind against your mic diaphragm not even gaffa tape stops that Cheers Mike dB Sound Engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike dB Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Don't take my advise about the clamp!! It is an expensive mistake to make Just buy a Bullet Camera!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Sam if your camera has av in you can get a bullet cam (£88)off the net from a place in n.ireland.the quality is spot on ,no vibration at all and a crystal clear picture.I bought one and had it on my roll bar for three slappers,very happy.. the cam has a 2 metre lead so you can have the main camera in the footwell out of harms way.The microphone is seperate and lets you place it out of the wind (inside cockpit near exhaust for ahem.. good sound ) see here for cameras http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/helmet_cameras.htm no connection just a happy bunny cheers barney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
