In car video options?

[Hddcrasher]

I am looking to setup in-car video for track days. I could just go buy a gopro black 3+ but I would like to hear alternatives. I have done a video renting a gopro and mounted inside on windshield. I also saw a car at ECR using a camera mount that attaches to the vertical bars of the headrests. What do you all use for your in car video whether ¼ mile track or even DD for insurance?

I just use a suction cup mount upside down inside... But I've got glass on my roof. :D

Thanks for the reply, are you using a gopro or another camera? I bet that glass roof angle is sweet!

I use my go pro hd2 for track days and love it. I use the suction cup mount on either the front or rear glass. Will Prolly buy a headrest mount also. Here are a couple videos

I used a go pro 2 as well. I don't know how to embed.

Contour is dead.

A fellow photographer recommended I check out Replay. http://replayxd.com/product/replay-xd1080-video-camera-system/
Also a nice unit, but I really like the superwide view of the GoPro. I think it tends to suck you into the action.

I bought a GoPro3 black in August and I like it a lot. Menus are a little balky, and they suck you in with accessories, but I'm fully satisfied otherwise. What you see on YouTube is actually a lot less resolution than what is available.

So I am looking at this thinking I can mount my Nikon on the passenger headrest for solo events. might even be able to rig up a gopro on this. What I hope for with this is to capture tach and speed during runs at ECR.

Opinions?

I wouldn't be comfortable with the short bar mount, but the long bar looks appropriate

I run the Contour...didn't know they were dead until now. Supposedly they are coming back but I really did like their setup. GoPro is real hard to beat with all of the support with accessories and stuff. I would lobe to have a GP Hero 3 Black Edition just to get the wireless remote and stuff.

You can run the remote or go pro app on your smart phone with the hd2, all you need is the wifi backpack. They are super cheap now that the 3 is out. I got mine for like $20 now I just use my phone to control, preview, and download pics and videos straight to my phone

That's some solid info. Will have to look into that.
