How are people choosing to mount bullet cameras?
I have used a roll bar mount, a bodywork mount, and I’ve even used a mini camera inside the helmet.
The roll bar mounts provide the best overall view but the cameras shook themselves to death after a season (Chasecam). The mounts were on the top of the hoop and I had one pointing forward and another back. Both had some amount of vibration damping material but possibly not enough.
The bodywork mount was ok but the video perspective limited. Never had problems with the vibration but frankly this type mount didn’t last long before I switched.
The in helmet view had great entertainment value for showing what the driver experiences, but as people have noted, it can be a bit of a chore to watch after a time. Also not very useful as a learning tool.
I have a certain amount invested in my Chase PDR100 system already and don’t care to toss it and spend the cash on a new system, so I don’t really care to discuss the merits of one system over another. I’m interested in how other drivers in high vibration cars like ours are dealing with the challenge this brings to securing the longevity of equipment.
I’ve shown you mine, how about you show me yours?
thanks
