Camera recommendation

I've seen seen quite a few mounting applications for the head rest. Can anyone make a "I wish I had a" recommendation for a motorsport camera. Not looking for data acquisition, unless there is a reasonable one.

I just got an Aiptek from Amazon, $110. Did 3 hrs at VIR, all on 1 8 meg sdhc. Can record at 1080p 20 fps, 720p 60/fps and on. I used the 720p 60/fps. Looks really sharp, even on my 110" tv. I also spent $29 for the wide angle lense. Really worked well. Just need to work on sound as wind noise at 120+ and over is really bad, even with tape over microphone. Will try the external microphone next time. It am pretty pleased with set up for less than $150. I do have harness bar with camera mount. HTH. Good luck with choice.

So you were at VIR this weekend?

Kent just posted up the 100 car start between STU, AI and CMC. What a sight!

Actually I was there Thurs with the PCA group. Great weather, car ran great, event wasn't a sellout so it was open track from 1-5. Awesome.

The best in car camera solution for the money IMO. 1080p quality, waterproof housing, excellent image stabilization, SD card media, great wide angle lens, etc. Just a great product overall!

I sell em, if anyone wants some. I have 3 in stock currently.
