Default Onboard Video!

A couple friends and I got bored and crammed a DV camera in the 'cage using big blocks of motorcycle seat foam. Here are the results. CAUTION: Alcoholic beverage consumption inside!!!

We are currently designing more sophisticated mounts using smaller CCTV cameras mounted where the seats screw on, using an RF transmitter in the bed. More to come. Feel free to make comments.

you should try attaching the camera outside the driver's window so you can see the tire in the view as well. I love watching the tires crawl in the view....

I liked how it looked from inside.
Reminiscent of the Top Truck Callenge videos (while in the Tank Trap).

I may try something similar. The camera we're using is tiny (less than one cubic inch), and we're designing the mount to be modular, so I may get a few vids with the "out-the-door" view.
