in car cameras at thunder road

[gsd2000]

Are in car camera's allowed at thunder road? I was thinking about mounting a camera between my headrests

In car is fine, as long as its fixed.

When you line up first run point it out to the marshaller.

(TBO just use a bit of common sense when filming, remember this is an active military base and they can now hold you without charge for 40 days for suspected terrorism )

Its going to weight the car down for intial acceleration too much

I will remember to point it out to them. It may look abit dodgy if i don't, young asian lad taking videos at an active military base. lol . Thanks Jez

Similar topic so didn't want to start a new thread...
I want to get loads of video footage of the event, so will have cameras in the car etc, possibly along with proper sound recording kit. Would it be allowed (or even advisable) to mount anything on the outside of the car? Also, what's the deal with spectator's taking videos? Is there an official "videographer" for the event?

cheers

Just got my headrest mount in the post today so will be using a single in car camcorder.

Its a mini DVD one without a usb lead, any ideas how to get the pics from the disc onto the net?

Like I said, use a little sense and you`ll be fine. But I`d guess that if you`re caught filming in the opposite direction to the cars you`re on your own...I don`t know you

Do you mean the whole process or just from hard drive to net?

Just to get it from the actual DVD disc (mini one) that goes in the camcorder onto the net. As say the camcorder doesnt have a USB lead (borrowing it!) and the mini DVD disc wont play in my laptop so a bit stumped on how to get it from that mini DVD disc onto a PC and onto the net!?

Would you 'appen to know what file type the camcorder saves in. If you plonk the disc in the drive can you explore the disc and read the filetype?

[after_shock]

I dont have a clue im afraid, also cant get it in the drive on the laptop as its one of those slot in type ones not a tray that pops out!

[gsd2000]

You could get an external dvd drive for your laptop (tray type), and then stick the dvd from the camcorder in that

[sneakygloworm]

The other thing to do would be just to take the camera and a load of discs and record what you need then hand the disc to someone else and they could convert it all over for you. If your stuck for someone to do it, i'll do it for ya.

Appreciate the offer! Ive got no clue at all about camcorders, never used one before hence why borrowing one for the track day.

Will see how I get on then when im stuck shall be in touch lol
