rich83 - Edition 30..... Breaking

[Top Cat]

That's excellent Rich, the position is spot on as you get to see you driving plus the car and the road.  Is that your 5D. 

[Beddie]

Almost as good as my pikey mount 

[rich83]

Ta guys... its a bit lower than ideal, but i just need to raise the headrest! Its my Canon G12, so 720P... 5D is way to heavy for in car, as i found out at castle combe (2kg and g force doesn't mix)

Beddie, this is just as cobbled together as yours.  

2 manfrotto clamps linked together. One clamping the headrest pole and  a little camera mount clamped into the other clamp.

Great work 

Thats the kind of view / angle I'd want to record my ace commute but the Cupra doesnt have headrests to mount anything on.

[Nasir]

Love that video, wish there were more like it on Youtube. I think you should make some more

This is a lovely 30, sorry if I missed it but where did u get the carbon air box attachment from? Any gains or noise difference with this fitted?

Excellent quality (sound and camera steadiness) on that vid, Rich.

I note that you use the correct steering wheel position of quarter-to-three throughout. Is your arm just a tiny bit stretched though? - Should be such that your wrist can rest on the very top of the wheel when you are right back in your seat. Consequently your arms always have a bend at the elbows (equivalent to legs/knees in cycling). I could bore you with the reasons..........

Decided that I must be able to make an in car camera mount with all the camera crap I've got.... so after 20mins gaffing around locating parts!

Boring video i know.. but just testing!

Nice video matie

Nice one,  Rich  

I've been thinking up a design for a head rest cam mount to make at work, think I know how I'm going to do it, all done on the the milling machine and will easy hold a DSLR

Thanks guys.

Thanks Robin... yes my seat was in 'cruise' mode 

Steve... i missed a trick there, TC in the background on the next instalment! 

Black9... its a Carbonio intake, but i removed it and sold it as it doesn't make any difference at all.

[Frenzy]

good vid with excellent visual and sound quality and that was just a test!  Would love to see more 

[rich83]

Ta Frenzy.. more to come for sure! 

Stupid front tyres are making horrific vibrations when over a certain speed  I  hope the tyres are not misshapen again, will find out tomorrow 

[keano]

This car sounds like it needs a remap. And a detail

[rich83]

Balance has been restored thanks to the guys at wheels in motion 

No vibrations now!
