off road camcorder
Anyone have experience using a camcorder in their vehicle on trails and back
roads to record a drivers perspective? I've had a new little Sony for a week and so far I've clamped it to the roof of my truck and taken it on the highway with nothing more than a UV filter to protect the lens. That won't work in the dusty desert and is not what it was designed for by any stretch of the imagination. I thought about using a marine enclosure but so far all I've come up with are pro ones that cost $800.00+. Today I used the charging dock as a base and sat it on the dash on a drive around the city. Except for some minor reflection through the windshield, that I'm sure I can resolve, it worked well and I'm thinking of ways to mount it solidly and shock mount it for rough terrain. Before I drill holes and mount hardware to my dash I'd like to hear about anyone's good, or bad, experience using a camcorder on rough roads and hilly and rocky terrain. I'm looking to capture scenery and not necessarily any extreme 4x4 action although that generally is part of most trips that we take whether we like it or not. Thanks. Bob Walker |
