Creative Labs Vado HD $100 Amazon Goldbox

[apex2apex]

Hi all,

Just want to give u guys a head up on a great deal on one of the best cheap HD camcorder IMO on the market.

Best thing about it is the wide angle lens, also it does a good job controlling the rolling shutter. Makes it ideal for racing application. It doesn't have external SD slot, only built in 8gig. But it's good enough for 2 hours in highest quality. Battery is removable.

Great video!!!

Do you have that mounted on your windshield?

I saw that on Amazon and wondered if it would be a good choice for a very INEXPENSIVE or what many of you have coined TCB.

Just bought one! Thanks for the TCB deal! Question for apex2apex. What kind of mount you use to mount in your car? Thanks!

I use a chasecam triple suction cup window mount in the RX-8.




In the miata, I use a Pedco Ultraclamp on the factory cross brace behind the seat.

I have a spec miata. I am trying to decide if I placed this specific camera behind my seat, would the lighting be ok. Do you have any vids with top up?
Thanks for answering my previous question!

and think i'm buying one of these http://www.aiptek.com/HDCamcorders/, can get them on amazon for $180 shipped. 30fps is not fast enough at the track, all your videos make you look like your moving slow, watching 60fps you get a better feel of how fast the car is moving.

Inside the RX-8, mounted on the side window. Sorry no miata top up videos.
