Camcorder recommendations

[FUNFER2]

I have a Sony Handy-cam and it works great. It's a 60 GB hard drive so no tapes or DVD disk to fool with. If yours is like mine, in the instructions it tells how to turn off the auto shut off and stabilization off. I bought two different mics. One has a narrow band mic that directs 40% to where you want the sound to be, versus 100%. The second mic has a long cord or you can have it wireless, to put anywhere, like under the dash or sitten on your engine.

The mount is a big block Chevy () Mickey Thompson aluminum connecting rod. I still have to finish this. I tigged in a 2" bushing to mount it on the roll bar. I bought a tripod stand for a buck and will either use a set-screw to hold it in or drill a couple of holes for height adjustment. With this, I'll be able to move the camcorder in any direction, up or down, 360 degrees, full tilt, ect. I can run it with the remote or the passenger will.

If you want the model number of this camcorder, I'll post it. The programing CD is fantastic to edit a DVD. You can run the video, stop at any point, and save it as a photo. It also has a switch to take photo's. I really like it.

I have some sticky backed foam for protecting the chrome on the roll bar. This winter I'll probably polish the rod, just to make it pretty.
