Default The $10 mount anywhere dont care if i lose it camera :D

So i had this "key chain camera" laying around. Actually bought it to use on my remote control helicopter but thought i would give it a shot on my car. Now the quality isnt the best and the sound can be funky at times... but what the hell i can throw it on my car and if the wind tears it off im out 10 big bucks. Plus you can get some pretty cool angles with this thing... heres one video i have uploaded ill upload some more soon I have it mounted(velcro) to a flexible 2 dollar ebay iphone suction cup windshield mount... but damn this thing is sweet it rachets!!! lol... and it actually sticks to paint extremely well...

Is it the keychain camera that looks like a key fob?

Or this one? that looks like a flashlight?

Looks like a great alternative to hanging my $500 camcorder off the side of my car

Nice job, but that track looks super sketchy! I can't believe seeing surface cracks in the track all down the 1/4 even with that camera.

Was that track even able to do 1/4 mile runs on it? looks like the sticky track ends too early for that to be possible. Or you have a nice smooth 1/8 mile run and then you have to play dodge the holes for the second half, sounds fun!
But that is a neat idea tho and cheap so who cares if it falls off during a run....Reject
Seems good enough to use as a tool for launching and keeping the car straight down the track as well because you'll be able to see bind, twisting and any mishaps if pointed in the right spots.
The sound is hilarious though as I feel like satan has taken over for commentary in some parts.

How'd my mother-in-law get in your head?


OP, this video quality seems perfectly acceptable for this application. I like it!
