VX Moab Trail Cam

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.

This is what I'm looking to get for shooting 'car" shots from many great angles. They are very stable and don't mess up the paint. The positions are endless where these could mount.

www.stickypod.com Check out their video section.

It is a lot easier to use the Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) built in most camcorders these days or provide some mechanical stability (like the stickypod) then to to try to take out the gitter in post. There are a few software applications that have "tracking" tools to take out excesive shake but these apps aren't cheap.

My two cents is to spend more than $100 on your lipstick cams. Yeah, you can find them cheap, but the quality of those cheap ones is pretty dismal. On the other hand, to get quality, you've got to spend about $500! Here's one from B&H.

Of course, I'm mostly talking out of my *** right now. If that's a reasonable price for you, then... well... I wish I had your disposable income. I'm just recommending you stay away from those cheap X10-style cameras. They're 'color', but only if you REALLY stretch the definition of 'color'...

This is oh-my-god-cool: The Elmo SUV-Cam! (No relation to the red fuzzy monster.)
