Adam - I'm after one as well - I presume that SC1 will mount to the roll cage quite nicely?

Rich - I think so. It clamps to any pole with a diameter between 12 and 55mm. The SC2 also does. I know Demon Tweeks did one which specifically mounts to the roll cage but that was like Ł100 !

Mines a Mini DV camera so should fit nicely on them

i use a bullet cam. it can be mounted way more easily, even on the front bumper.

and with the right lense, it gives a much better impression of speed (and isn't tempted to focus on the dead flies on your windscreen)

even better than using a cam to plug it into,, plug it into one of those mp4 players, (if you read them they can act like video recorders)

RichardPON, i got mine from a company in Ireland called RFconcepts. ordered off there website. when you order, it's worth getting the sunshield, a couple of spare lens covers (particularly if you're going to be mounting it on the bumper), and the different lenses to play around with.

i have mine mounted on the front bumper and it gives amazing pictures. of course you still need something to record with. i use a mini dv camcorder in the glovebox, but as GARETH T says, these days there are good ways of doing it digitally directly, but they're not cheap.

the one i use (sm1) works really well i use a sony trv130e digital camcorder .. get some good footage .. just make sure the windscreen is clean
i put mine quite high up on the screen as it vibrates under heavy braking .. obviously the screen is a bit flexable

I can get the bullet cams here for around the 130pounds mark. A couple of guys in the skyline club have bought them from here and have recorded some good track stuff. They normally mount them on their passenger side sunvisor.

We used a different style one at a track recently that was a suction cup onto the rear screen with 3 legs that sit on the parcel shelf. There is a screw that goes into the base of the digi cam to hold it firm. Not sure the make or price of that one but could find it out if anyone is interested. We had an awesome night reviewing the footage from it as it was very steady and crystal clear.
