Interesting video vantage point of my car

Is it just me or does it seem like it pivots up alot?

It does look like it's getting plenty of pinion rotation, kinda hard to tell though that camera mount needs some beefing up I think. Maybe next time try to get a side view to get a better perspective on it.

Next plan is to mount it on top of the rear end on one side looking down and across the pinion. I want to get the caltrac bars in the frame.

The play in the mount is where it snaps into into those stick on bases. I have a plan to take it out.

Check at this video of how much the pinion moves

Great videos, it looks like you found a lot better mount for the camera. Looks to me you've got the pinion angle pretty close, they sure move around a lot though huh?

The camera snaps into those sticky mounts, and there is a little bit of play in them. So I just ran a bead of superglue around the base and it took all the slack out of it.

Yes, It moves a ton, To me it looks like it over extends on the initial hit. Was going to put a little more preload in it.

Mine is only around 600 hp, imagine what yours does....

I haven't tried to do a video like that for a long time, it certainly would be interesting to do again. That camera you have does a nice job, high enough frame rate to work well when slowed down. Is it a Go Pro HD?

Its is the gopro hero2. 120 frames per second. Its a pretty awesome camara. You should see the original video. Just too big to post. 400 megs!
