    Not sure if this is the best thread for this!

    I'm looking for a camera and recorder to be fitted to a vehicle, camera need to be outside.

    I want to capture parts of a cycling event, any ideas?

    i have a camera + recorder for sale.. its 350 euro for a small bullet camera that can be put anywhere.. ( even under water) the recorder has a screen and all.. it does you tube HQ quality..

    you could attach it to the handle bars and get the whole race.. and get cut aways later.. make up a good edit..

    or do you want to be out of a sun roof type of thing videoing people cycle?

    saw pcworld have these small flip cameras

    sell a strap mount for it and under water case

    probably not great quality though and basic... depends on how much you want to spend and the quality needed. Could probably get a cheap camcorder and work around that

    took some car video a few months ago with digital camcorder, the vibration can make things a bit shakey, one of the videos uses a deshaker processing to smooth the video out

    I was thinking of mounting it on the back of the support vehicle to film the cyclist.

    €350 is a bit steep, I'm not sure if I'll use it again after this.

    I will also look at helmet cams.

    i do hire out broadcast ones at 150 euro a day...

    also if its going to be on just one point of the car you have to keep it there for the whole race which will be very hard...
