Kind of a redneck solution to an on-car cam. This morning I removed my sunroof, attached a point & shoot Nikon Coolpix P71000 to a Gorillapod, sat it all on a chunk of foam, crisscrossed it with gaffers tape, and tethered the camera with paracord. Set it to video mode and started driving around town and up a canyon road until the pavement ran out. Then I dropped by Eric’s shop to show the rig off. Well, it sorta works. The vid is actually fairly good quality, but it could definitely use some stabilization. The deal-breaker is that I have no external mic for the camera, so the wind noise defeats the sweet sounds of the 2.5L NA engine. May post some of the videos once I strip out the audio track (almost defeats the purpose). Maybe I have to go for a more suitable GoPro scenario after all.
