on board RC camera

[Big G]

I can't remember his name, but he's a crazy bloke who races a 4wd SC10 at Coventry with a camera inside it. I think his name was Steve someone. His truck is red and black and very battered lol.

The camera records as soon as powered up off the 3rd channel.

any one know what that bit of kit was called? I found 1 when he told me, but can't remember at all what it was now.

Maybe its FlyCamOne -> http://flycamone.com/

A tinny cheaper camera with good results but without 3rd channel activation is keychain camera,found on ebay.

Hi,
I've had some great results with one of those cheap key chain cameras.
Check out my video on Youtube:

Amazing quality for the price. About £8!

Have fun

Flycam inside a TC shell at Don Valley. Have seen better off-road in & outdoor using same camera though.

I just bought one of those cameras that ravens linked to. Can't go wrong for a little more than $1. (well, after shipping it came to something like $7)
I've never used the that camera in particular, but I have used a different one:

The one I used on this video isn't quite as good as the keychain kind, and it's shape was a little trickier to mount too. It was shaped like a usb thumb drive, and after it was strapped to my shock tower, stuck up above the wing. (bad for roll overs) Plus, the sound/video sync is off by a half second or so.

[Xizor]

Yeah, that's the same as the one I've got.
Looks like they are even cheaper now!
You will need a micro SD card as well though of course.

Cheers

[Big G]

they're so cheap you could fit 1 facing forward and 1 facing back

I've always fancied one of these for RC car racing recording. They are pricey but can do 720p at 60fps so you can do those cool slow motion shots with it.

Smaller than a hero and looks easier to fit to a car!

arounds £200 is not cheap though..

That's the FlycamOne that ravens mentions...

[Big G]

yeah I think I'll get 1 of those. 15g isn't too harsh to carry around either

One of our members at A1 Racing Club had a camera on his HPI Blitz last night at an indoor club meeting, was surprised how good the video turned out.

Will find out what he was using as it would be good to have a few camera cars in the heats!
