    Want In Car Video Capability For Under £10 ?

    Yes, you have read that right ! Now you can have in-car video capability for under a tenner !

    Below you can see a video that is currently on www.bridgetogantry.com - it's a lap filmed on the 22nd April of a Renault Clio 197 on the Ring, with an RSR Instructor. The whole thing as filmed on a keychain spy camera costing under a tenner !

    No doubt people have often been put off buying something for filming in car, as most bullet cams are £100+, video cameras are dear and need to be mounted etc. This chap simply stuck the camera to his dash with some gaffer tape !

    Now you have the ideal opportunity to have some fun and capture it on film ! Ok, the "under a tenner" does not include a micro SD card to record on, but at this price it has to be worth a punt. The guy got his off eBay, and posted this link : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-30FPS-SPY-...#ht_2252wt_941
    I also did an eBay search for "spy key micro camera" and came up with several others !

    Here's the RSR page if you want more info: http://www.bridgetogantry.com/2/inde...&Itemid=300055

    So..........I expect to see the number of video uploads to CVR4 to increase hugely over the coming months ! (Japfest trackers....nudge nudge)

    I always wanted one to place it in weird positions such as behind the wheel to watch suspension travel, engine bay to watch engine movement etc

    Gotta be worth a punt so just ordered one!

    If you want to recoup the cost of one then I'll take it off your hands as I was going to get one toward the end of May anyway. Maybe 2 if you want to get rid.

    I too am amazed at the quality from something so cheap. It's better than any phone camera I have seen.

    Not quite as cheap here it seems...

    Try getting it from the ebay usa. I got mine from the states for just a smidge over $11aud. Which was cheaper than the australian seller by a few bucks.

    Might be better for the AU/NZ guys to do a group buy from Hong Kong, shipping would be cheaper than from the US...
