Brushless ST-RR Onboard Camera
 

Here is some footage I took with a camcorder mounted on my brushless Kyosho ST-RR. I was early and there were only a couple of Jammin CRT.5's out on the track. So I just followed them around for a while, it worked out well, I didn't want to go full throttle because I was worried the camera would fly off, so 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and rolling over the jumps was all I needed to keep up with the CRT.5's. Kind of jumpy video, so if you get motion sickness be warned.

that is fricking cool. it reminds me of cockpit cams in F1 racing. how did you get the cam to stay put? what size is your camcorder?

That is way cool

Cool but got me dizzy.

Very cool video man.
What camera system is that?

I have to say that is the best on-baord vid I've seen yet. :yes: You must have a very nice camera. I'd like to see more.:yes:

Very nice!!!

what video camera is that??

Hey guys, thanks. I got the idea from an onroad onboard video somebody recorded. Actually, my wife had an old point and shoot camera that also had a video option. She never uses it anymore so I borrowed it for my project, I added scrap foam forms to the front shock tower, then I strapped the camera down with some velcro straps. On the first test run the camera fell off after the first jump, duh. I then added extra straps using the cameras built in strap loop. It stayed on after that. My truggy was much faster than the CRT's but I wanted to trail them so there would be other trucks in the video. I think the camera is a Sony DM-1 or something like that, my wife picked it out a few years ago.
