Which entry-level track day camera?

[Matt UK]

I've got a few track days booked up for the little mazda and fancy capturing my cack-handedness on film.

So, what's out there for about £100-£150? Obviously, at this price I'm not going to get massive quality, but that's fine. There seem to be a few products out there, but keen to here from other people's experience. Also, regarding sound, do I accept that when driving with the roof down it will just record wind noise above 30mph?

Cheers,
Matt

get a cheap/second hand video camera off fleebay and make a camera mount onto your rollcage/car body.
No need to spend out loads in case it gets damaged due to vibration or harsh braking/lateral movements but ensure that it is firmly mounted as some TDO's will inspect it for correct mounting.

It's on my list of serious wants

Just bought a Muvi plus the extreme sports pack - absolutely tiny, 4gb. So small it can go anywhere.

£60 for the camera, and 20odd for the sports pack which gives various mounting options.

Might want to cover the mic a bit....

I just got the GoPro HD, good piece of kit from the limited testing I've done so far.

I'm at Brands on Friday so planning to try it out properly there
