Ok how many people have done this before.
Went out to Fry's tody, MY HEAVEN, and got a few things. My goal was to be able to run 4 cameras on a car at the srag strip, without running off the cars battery. We wanted a shot from the top of the car looking forward, on the back bumper looking near the exhaust, since the car we will be taping shoots some nice flames sometimes, inside the car looking out the window, and at the speedo/tach. Sooo...I got a set of 3 bullet SWANN cameras, a SWANN mini 90 degree camera, 3 sticky cam pods, a SWANN DVR, and a CyperPower UPS. I wish I would have though of this sooner, its soooooo damn cool. We run all the cameras into the DVR (digital video recorder) then I run that into a battery poweres 6 inch B&W tv, the sticky pods are all sucked onto the car and then we stuck the 90 degree camera in front of the steering wheel to view everything. Then everything runs off a 780 watt CyberPower UPS. Everything in all weighs about 50lbs so we wont be putting a lot of weight into the car. I will post of all the videos once we go to the drag strip.
So anyone else done this before? If so I would like some pointers I would like to get some better quality camers but can find any small enough. THAKS
