Bullit cam and SanDisk Vmate??? or other system- help please
I am looking for a video recording system. My previous experience with the GoPro is that while it works sometimes (only with lithium batteries) it is too difficult to turn on when mounted behind my head. I also have an old RacerEye in my ITS miata and love that system. It overlays vehicle parameters and track info over the video....but is way to large for the FC. I don't seem to be able to find it anymore either...maybe they went out of business??
I have searched the forum and see people using ChaseCam, POV-1, GoPro, and others.
Cost wise I am thinking about the SanDisk Vmate with a bullit camera. Has anyone done this and what camera do you use with it? What do you think of the operation?
I would also consider a video overlayed with data if it were small enough and reliable. Anyone know of anything that in 1 step overlays data onto video that would fit in a FC?
Based on a little research the POV-1 looks to be the best cam/recorder without video overlay. Price is a bit high at $600 with a 12v adapter but I like the built in video screen to verify recording. One thing I didn't find was the length of the video cable to the camera. I am thinking a mount of the main unit on the dash where I can easily turn it on and the cam on the roll hoop behind me. Any comments good bad on this setup?
Thanks for the help.
