VX Moab Trail Cam

Bart,

Are you going to provide some stabalization for the camera or do you have some means of doing image stabalization after the fact? Don't want you to end up with another Blair Witch/Cloverfield situation.

Well, last year I had my camera mounted on my dash. My camera is kinda heavy, and it did get a little shakey at times. But even with the shaking, the video was still decent. You can see all the Moab videos I took posted on YouTube.

If I get lipstick cams, I will either velcro them to my roof rack, or possibly attach them to some rare earth magnets so I can stick them to my VX wherever I want. Since these cameras are so small, they will be perfectly stable. That is why I want to use lipstick cams this year instead, plus I can mount them on the exterior, which should create some interesting view points.

It would be cool to put something under the bumper or on a control arm for a real close up look at the action.

Under the bumper wouldn't last long the way I drive!

probably be easy to make a mount to go in one of the holes next to the license plate bracket where many people stick extra fog lights

I think I will stick one in the honeycomb and run the wire through the firewall to my camcorder. Also, maybe one on the roof rack pointing backwards. I will then alternate the view point depending on the obstacle.

I purchased a pin hole camera, the overall size is about an cu. inch.
color wide angle, has video patch cords and runs on a 9v battery.
Made by Swan, cost about $30.
It would make a great Nanny cam.
I bought it to catch my neighbor's kid vandalizing my stuff, only needed it for one day for that to work.

It also had a tiny little gimbal mount.
