    Question VX Moab Trail Cam

    As most of you know, I video taped the VX only run via my camcorder on my dash last year.

    This year, I want to do it a little different. I am wondering if anyone knows any decent lipstick cameras or helmet cams that can be hooked up to my camcorders A/V in ports. I was thinking of having a camera in my grill and one on my roof rack pointing backwards, with cables coming into my VX and attaching to my camcorder. This way, I can monitor and record from either view, depending on what is going on.

    So, if anyone has any suggestions (brands, places to buy, etc) let me know.

    I know a few friends that have the helmet cams that they use when riding. I'd check into a few motorcycle sites. I know that there was an improvement on models last year which should have drastically dropped pricing on the older models. - Good luck and post them up when they are finished

    Yeah, I've just been looking at eBay. Looks like I can get something for around $100. I was just going to do the dash cam again, but I actually changed my dash mount to a Lobster Mount for my GPS. And the camera mount I had up there was too shakey off road. If I get a lipstick cam or two, I can mount them on the exterior of the VX and get some really cool shots.

    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.
