video cameras! - Kaan - 03-18-2004

Evan and Chad.... what kinda camera do you guys use? cause i'm looking to equip the peice... or find another peice to track and equip it... i know RJ... hatchcrap! but a crx is a hatchcrap.


- Mike - 03-18-2004

whats wrong with the crx?


- Kaan - 03-18-2004

.RJ wants to live through me... hes really upset that he bought the R... he really wanted a hatchcrap type H22


- Mike - 03-18-2004

Who doesn't? That's kick ass. CRX w/ B18 owns hatchcrap though.


- Kaan - 03-18-2004

- Mike - 03-18-2004

Mine was a Cannon ZR60. Very basic camera, about $300 + big battery. I repeat, it is a basic camera, any effects you want will have to be done on a PC. I picked the cheap one b/c of what I plan on putting it though.

1.6 is 1.6, slow.


- .RJ - 03-18-2004

H22 hatch would be sweet.

So would a 14:1 compression D16Z6....

Who placed right behind you in auto-x the class :wink:
had you runnin till the last run with my B16.

B16B is a pretty nice engine however, i've ridden in a '94 coupe with it in it and that was pretty fast.

Just because its faster than your car doesnt mean its "pretty fast" Big Grin

Honduhs are sl0w...

We need to build an AIX racecar...


- Mike - 03-19-2004

Hell yeah. Supercharged 5 liter.

I use a JVC. Works well.

Features that are a must.

-MiniDV (anything else is old tech and poor quality)
-Remote (I wish mine had one, its a PITA to start and stop the camera when it is mounted
-Vibration reduction (I think all cameras have this now)

try to get a camera that is as compact as possible. A big camera will shake more.
But at the same time dont get a super expensive one, it probably wont last more than 2 or 3 years of track abuse.

Once you get it, get a wide angle lense. anywhere between .42x - .5x works well
Get the big battery
And try to only use 1 single brand of tapes.

Get a firewire card for your computer so you can directly transfer video instead of analog capture.

I'd put the engine behind me and make a real sports car Tongue


- Kaan - 03-19-2004

i actually owned a supercharged 5.0 once... i was young and stupid... blew it up... and never really looked back... though there is a shell of an 85 GT with Ttops i look at every now and then at my uncles farm in a HUGE garage to protect the paint (since it was only a month old paint job when she blew)... she's parked waiting for some dumbass to put a new heart in her... i doubt it will be him or me... so it will most likely be my little cousin. oh well.

'94 4.5L T-Bird for sale on NASA site. Needs a headgasket, first asking $1250 now in caps he says "All reasonable offers will be taken, I need to sell in order to move."
