whopwop · 20-05-2009, 08:42 PM

Hi all and thanks in advance,
I am looking to have a camera system installed in the csl, I am sick of messing arround with camera mounts n camcorders and so am looking to have a system hard wired in.
looking for something thats not too expensive, dont wish to spend 0000's,
Something that has a good resouution etc etc.
Has anyone any recomendations please and apologies if this ought to be in the technical section.

Ive been on the hunt for one for ages and done quite a bit of questioning. I have thought of trying out the wireless GoPro 5mp. Compact and can be fitted in the front bumper, cockpit etc with great ease.

Could get a group buy going if it catches on. What sort of camera quality are you thinking? You could go real Pro but talking £700-£900+

Yea Carbon, I was talking to Mark in Dogcam.com today, he was recommending me to go for the HQR2 autosport kit, sounds like a good setup and about the money I was thinking, any experience of the Hqr2

Latest GoPro 5mp Wide angle Motorsport package: I can get for £88 + delivery direct from an authorised Gopro dealer from the states instead of £199 UK price. I am waiting back from them regarding expected delivery time to UK. The only thing not included is a 2GB SD Card. Anyone else? See pics/ contents below:

Well at £88 I'd certainly be interested !

I use a Dogcam setup at the minute, pretty impressed with it aswell.

I use an HD mini-camcorder with suction mount. Great full HD quality and you can use it as a standard camera away from track.

Only downside is i can't mount it for the Ring as you get told off!

I need to play with the squelch setting and maybe the picture setting but this gives you an idea.
