Man, thats a great angle. Camera was well mounted. Never moved a bit. Any pics how you mounted the cam in your rig.

Thanks.

no picture of the setup, but enough people have asked about it that I will try to get a picture of it this saturday.
Its pretty simple actually. To get the camera at a good height I placed a 1.5" wide roll of painters tape on its side in the back of his rig. Then I set my camera on it, turned it on and rest the extended lens against his roll cage. Then I take two 8" long bungee's and strap it down criss cross. pretty low tech.

Default Cool!

I like how this video came out. I will have to try it out on my truck as well.

About what size was the camera did you use?

its pretty easy to do. You should try it. One nice thing I like about my camera, a Canon Powershot A630, is that the flip out LCD screen lets you check the viewpoint easily.
camera is about 4.5" wide, 1.75" front to back (lens closed, at narrow part of camera) and 2.75" tall...give or take.

This is camera I use:




I'll try to get a shot of the setup tomorrow at the comp.

Thanks. Now I have a really good reason to buy a new camera...and to go crawling.
I was just thinking the same about getting shot angles from one of my rigs at our next comp.

Yeah and all of our videos have been shot with standard digital cameras with gorrilapod tripods, no true camcorders or fancy stuff really.

Thumbs up

Yep, nother good one guys. That's about as scale as you can get (other than the driver actually, lol.). Big thanks for the dose of Floyd!!! I sit in my seat now, relaxed as a junkie after a hit, now eagerly awaiting the next one, the next dose, the next hit, lol. Keep em coming guys, before I go into DT's. I now require one video a week to function normally. Soon it will take at least two, lol, be warned. Kidding aside, love em and look forward to the next!!
