Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car
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.

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car
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.

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car
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?

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car
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....

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car
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?
