KICK ASS. :thumbsup: Are you doing this with one camera or what?
 
























Man you drive like a bat outta hell :D :p

cant wait to see the other movies when you make them

I liked it 2 thumbs up :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

PS: also what kinda Cam you using? i wouldnt mind seting something up like this.....
 






The Camera used is a small cheap color secrity camera from Harbor Freight. It plugs straight into a RCA input. and uses a special adapter for normal AC power. For this use I pluged it straight into my Sony camcorder and use it just as I was recording something off TV. This also allows me to use the screen on the camcorder to watch whats going on. Both cameras are run off a inverter. Camcorder to save it's battery for remote stuff and "Stic-Cam" because it's only runs off 110AC.

As you see below I simply glued a Magnet from Lowes to the bottom and Walla! Now the cammera can be placed anywhere on the truck, On the top, on the side,and even under the truck.

I have under $50 bucks invested in this so if it does some how fall off and get destroyed...no big loss. The camera is also fully poseable.

Stuck to the fridge.

...and there you have it... "Stic-Cam"...Because you can Stic it anywhere! ;)
 






Duude.. I am doing this. I have to go back to Mexico in a couple months. You haven't seen anything until you've seen Mexican traffic. Honk.. change lanes.. honk.. changes lanes. People will move.
 












I'm still waiting for it to finish downloading, didnt notice you posted a Divx vid but I dont wanna give up on how far I've gone with the mpg file.
EDIT: That was an awesome video! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Take it 4 wheeling now with the camera rollin'

The Divx is missing the last few seconds.... :rolleyes: FYI
 






My front suspension is much more fun to watch. :p
I've got a video of it around here from my stic-cam prototype but can't seem to find it.

Anyway, nice editing. . .I'm much too impatient to do all that work.

:thumbsup:

Picky Picky. Sorry, I'm working off my Cingular EDGE connection right now (Took me 40 mins just to download the mpg :o ), so it may not have uploaded completely, or maybe you grabbed it before I finished uploading? Should be 9.18MB (it still had 10 mins when I PM'd you)
 






Dude thats sweet! I wanna get something like this when i go to Moab. That would look sick!
 






So I was watching the video and thinking, " That looks like CA" , so I look left to your avatar, and sure enough, Glendale:)

Thanks Jefe ;) I'm getting better at the Editing with every new video. Yes it is very time consuming. I think they take a average of 3 to 4 hrs for a under 5min. video :(
 






How do you connect the RCA's to your camera? Does it go through the A/V port? Also what do you set on the camera to have it record the cam?
 






the future is now.

I want to see some rock crawling with this sucker.
Also I noticed at least three illegal lane changes, your tickets are in the mail :)

Friggin sweet man, it looks like peopla re looking at you like "WTF?" only in CA hahahaha
 






Man, that's sweet.. $40 from Harbor Freight.. they have one that does night vision too, for the same price.

Trust me the night vison does not work! :( This camera goes to crap at night.

It has a light adjusting Iris, Basicly it means the darker it gets the bigger the pixils, the crapier the image :rolleyes:
