I think some of you guys already have one, but I’m looking for some info. We are doing a few cruises in the next few months and I want to be able to video tape it using a remote mounted camera on my car. I have a digital video camera already, but I am trying to find a remote camera that will send the feed to the camera. Any links or info you guys can provide, :tup: The only company that I have found is: [http://www.hoyttech.com/default.cfm](http://www.hoyttech.com/default.cfm) ---

If I’m fading in the distance, that means you probably had the camera mounted backwards. lol Up to 100 miles on my car…how many on yours? lol ---

at this point… just get a small camera that does video for a couple bills and call it a day… no need to get too fancy. ---

You could always just mount your dvcam and take the video with it. [http://www.sjmediasystem.com/cruise-1.html](http://www.sjmediasystem.com/cruise-1.html) ---

If you’re just looking for cruise vids & such, just KISS. If you’re trying to make a retail highlight vid… then I could see going with a nice hardwired (removable) system, etc etc… ---

i would still like to check out one of these and see how good it is. but its a pricy. shockproof unit. [http://www.vio-pov.com/](http://www.vio-pov.com/) I already have one of these but the vid quality is to be expected for such a small camera. its just a sony 1/4ccd camera that connects to a HDD/battery pack. the low light recording was suprisingly good. but the “bullet” itself lacks a 1/4" standard tripod thread. so it has to be Taped/strapped to wherever its mounted. I have a tripod mount on the rear deck of my car already.
