That's great footage. Why is it that there is not more available? Also, howcome Corrolla's camera seems so smooth and RC's is always vibrating like a seismograph?

Todd,

There are a couple of reasons the videos are a little different:

1) We made some changes to my camera set up from last year as I was accidently killing my battery. Our new power source was "dirty" and caused our digital overlay to freak out to a certain degree, and I think that is a lot of what you are seeing...The video itself is pretty good if you look past the overlay, and the static it created. If you look at my other videos I think you will see what I mean.

We will have the power issue solved at our next outing.

2) Although I use very expensive and high quality equipment, it is not professional grade, and Adam's set up is better than mine. So his end result is better.

3) My car is a convertable! so we have wind moving past the camera to contend with which is not an issue in a sedan, we get a certain amount of buffeting due to winds up to and above 100MPH. Even though we use a low mass bullet camera, there is still some movement that we cannot contend with.

4) In order to get a good view from my car, and the track I mount my camera as high as possible, These cars are race cars and they do not ride smoothly, with the camera so high in the car there is a certain amount of residual vibration from the car that works like a pendulum. In addition the bullet camera is on a 6" stalk as well, and is subject to a little vibration as well.

As for more available, You'll have to ask Adam that..... I am limited to uploading 10 minutes on YouTube and I take advantage of the full 10 Minutes. I put up the best part of the race, in my opinion.

Glad you liked it.
