Its' all good by me, you know I tease you like a brother. BTW, how did the on board footage come out. I was telling PJ when I built one about 5 years ago. It had a vibration isolation plate and because of the amount of static electricity circulating circalating inside the car, we had to set the camera in a anti-static bag. It never really got that good of footage for us. I guess it has to be filmed by remote camera and not a video camera. Gino THE FILM DOES HAVE STATIC IT SEEMS HAVE MORE RIGHT WHEN I SHIFT AND ON THE BURNOUT,THE SPONCER SAID YOU WORKED AT A PLACE THAT BUILT THESE CAN YOU HELP US? WHAT RUBBER MOUNTING IT? JUST THE CAMERA TO THE BRACKET? |

No it was isolated by two plates and some light wieght springs. Thus removing the high frequency vibration caused by the mounting brackets connecting to the chassic. It was a pretty complicated set up and needed some work but, would work fine.
I think Russ my cousin has it up in Coos Bay mounted on one of his sand rails. I may see him this weekend and I'll ask him if I can borrow it for awhile.

Oh, I read your post again. No if I remember correctly we used Delrin insets between the chassic and the mounting brackets. Keep in mine you have a hard mount to the chassic. It does not isolate the camera from vibration. You must ispolate the camera. And then the static interference is a hole different problem.
Anyone else dabble in on board cameras setups?

OUR BASIC SET UP IS... HARD MOUNTED ALUMINUM BRACKET AND A 8MM VIDEO CAMERA IS BOLTED TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET. NO RUBBER MOUNTING AT ALL.

NO. The camera is connected to the camera plate. The camera plat is connected to springs (shock assorbers), they are connected to another plate, which are connected to sliding mounting brackets, which are connected to prcision ground rods (so it the camera plate cand be adjusted for angles and pitch), the rods are connected to more sliding mounting brackets, which are connected to the chassic brackets, which are connected to the delrin spacers, and that is connected to the chassic.
Get it.
Told you it was complicated.
