Last year I was also thinking of buying something like a GoPro. But then I figured I could also use my iPhone to make videos. When you keep the phone in hand the quality was quite good.


So after that I bought a mount to put my phone in. The nice thing with using your phone is that you can use an app to add data, like lap times, speed, G-forces, etc. to the video.

The video quality from my iPhone using the app wasn't very good. But I should have locked autofocus and exposure and disabled video stabilizer (although apparently you cannot fully disable it on the iphone). You can also connect your phone to an external camera from GoPro or Sony, which should give better quality. Or you can use them both and record 2 or 3 videos at the same time.
