Default New onboard camera on my TA

Finally got a camera like I have always wanted. It is a wide angle mountable camera.
I'm still getting used to it (only used 4times) and the microsoft movie maker software.
Takes great video. The sound is minimal, to control wind noise (its waterproof by the way) but I am learning each time i use it. (I can modify the sound a little, but takes experimentation)
I have put music to all but 1 of the 5 movies I made, it just makes it a little less boring and I can blend in the sound when its good

Thought some might like to see it.

Love this car by the way.

I promise by fall, when I have more time, to do the GTOs!

save the flames, but I enjoyed making it.

Neat piece.

I will probably shoot with a regular camera for static shots and some in car then edit, but this thing is very cool.

and I will capture some burnouts soon, I have been taking it easy on this car since it is a one off. I still rip it to redline, I am just not wailing on the rear end.....yet

I guess I should treat the rear like the Dana 60 in my Hemicuda, and just be sideways all the time!!

Tell me about your TA. Love the color/look. Is it a blackbird?

It is a 2002 Formula Year One Edition ( 12 made ) Mine is #1 as the "chessy" window number indicates. 1 of 7 with the Phase 1 upgrade 380 HP. It went 355 HP on the dyno so thats 410 or 420 ?at the motor. I enjoy driving it because so different from my 70's cars.

Very cool car!!!!

I love my car, it is a phase II, 475 hp. I have the dyno sheets for it, 424 at the wheels.

It has become one of my favorites to drive...the sound is intoxicating.

How do you get the camera to stay in place?

a good half a pound of duct tape!


Just kidding, it has a very powerful suction cup mount with expandable/moveable arm, to contort the camera.

Works really well. If you watch the BMW videos, I hit 100mph, with the camera outside.............no problems. It is also waterproof, as you can see in the boat movie. I had it mounted on the transom .....kinda cool.....

I have just started using this thing. I am looking forward to mounting it on some other stuff.

Isn't this considered "evidence" if stopped by cops or have/cause an accident?

You are right THIS TIME, but if the camera were to see you enter an intersection on a red light and plow into a van full of nuns, I would bet the camera would be held as evidence and used against you. It's kind of like having a passenger-side air bag which creats a witness.
