Crossing the Bosphorus on the vapur (ferry) to Besiktas, Istanbul
Crossing the Bosphorus on the vapur (ferry) to Besiktas, Istanbul
here comes the rant...
I always listen to music in the car. It sounds retarded, as the mic on my camera isn't very good, but at 5x speed it sounds awful. Plus, over a certain level of bass, it goes from a quiet rumbling, to very *very* loud white noise.
I would love to dub something smoothing over the top (ala this), but one of my pet hates is "unrelated" music on YouTube - if it's not directly related to the video i'd rather just listen to my own music.
HOWEVER, I think I might just give it a try anyway...
Tut tut, you and the guy in the red Audi got flashed for speeding.
looks quite good, is it MD80 headcam? I'm wondering should I buy this cheap one or to save for GoPro?
watch out youre driving on the wrong side of the... oh right
Its not the MD80. It's called the "DVR016".
This is mine:
EDIT - Quality is ok. Mic is crap. Seems not to record everything (the camera is designed to run whenever the car is in motion, and is my own insurance in case I get some sort of false claim) which is *very* annoying.
For example, recorded my drive from work, to my GF's house, to home, then to a destination 50 miles away. NONE of the return to my house, but then from my house, to my GF's and then home... the only bit I wanted was the missing bit!
It also gets a bit hot.
HOWEVER, it was £16, and will switch on / off automatically, and cycle record. So for me, t's worth it.
Do you look like the G Man in real life as well?
needs more cameras. also, shift+F gets rid of the text
Can you set it to "Oi! You stupid prat, just record everything when I turn you on"?
I have a pair of these to record my automotive hoonery, if anyone's interested in my s**** drive to work (15mins across town, joy). My drive to uni was half hour of twisties, which I miss greatly 
Can you tell me the camera's diameter? I wanna know if I can fit this to a 20mm mount for my gun(s) - like a flashlight....
26mm in the middle, larger at the end.
EDIT - You can get 20mm cameras for the same price, though... I got a camera (bare camera, just a 12v in and composite out) for £18, which is now fitted as my reversing camera.
Mine, from 1:23. I turn off at 7:33, but it takes me a couple of minutes longer.

Man, my car could very well be in there as I take this section (I go on 401 from Allen Road to 404 and back)...
I had not watched this before, good vid
That is a serious drive you do.
I do a fair distance, 50km each way but only 39 corners in that 50km and hard are hard to call a corner. Also the corners count is greater than the other cars count.
My laptop battery is fooked as cant do the same for my trip.
a sped up dash cam needs some drum and bass. it just works
It needs 'Yakkety Sax'
NECROPOST!
Testing out a camera and ways to mount it. I only did around half of my drive to work, but it gives you an idea of what my commute looks like. If you watch it enough to see me jump out, there was someone's exhaust tip on the road (I had to go wide to miss it going up the hill) which couldn't be left there, which is why I actually turned around. I was going to drive into town.
I have slightly doctored the footage to make it fit inside a 15min window and disabled audio because everything was drowned out by vibrations between the mic and the sun visor (need to work on that).
Linky.

What camera is that m8 ?
I strapped my old Xda IIi (in a leather case) to the sun visor using a canvas belt. Not the best way of doing things, but it is a system I've used many times in the past.
I did have a windscreen mounted universal phone cradle which worked well, but it went walk about a few months ago. The advantage to that is any phone with a camera will do the job.

Seen a few cameras on Ebay with SD card slot, which overwrite after 24hrs, and sound is good
I believe Jakg uses something like that and it seems to work quite well.
What does your drive to work look like?
