Default My foglight camera

One old Nokia 6280, a damaged foglight grill from the runabout, a cordless drill and a pack of zip ties.

Nash - The camera has a 2Gb card in but the battery only allows about 6mins of footage.

Kiddie - 70mph as anything more and I would have been speeding

It looks like a foglight grill with a mobile phone zip tied to it

I'm going to work on the camera angle when I get a free moment but for a 5minute nail together job I thought it was quite cool.

Pretty good result for something so basic.

I liked your other video of it, feels like I'm tripping out.
