A mate of our is using a Panasonic Digital GS series and it has a similar feature, he uses it on the Karts at EC and tells me at speed it has (jumped frame?)played up but only ever so slightly. I don't think the ride will be as harsh in a race car, rally maybe... - ChrisCal said:I am thinking of buying at Sony HC-40, has anyone tried one in a race\rally car? Just wondering if the image stabilizer is up to it?

from the spec sheet it looks like your camcorder does have AV-in. If so any bullet camera will connect dierctly to it. It will give you the flexibility.
Cal said:I can see this being advantageous if I want to mount the camera on the side of the car or on the sill or something. However, the real "lipstick" cameras are between $5-10k. The ones you guys are talking about are the security camera type. They are cheap, but the quality is low.

You'll need to. 16V is on the engine stand.
Its a "Vision Hi-Tech Weatherproof bullet camera with Vari-focal lens."Cal said:Which one do you have mate?
