Topic: in car video + radio on the cheap?
I don't mean so you can watch the latest lil' wayne video or listen to your favorite Neal Sedaka 8 tracks.
Looking for ideas/links/hints on how you guys are getting in car video, and any cheap-ish ideas for car to pit communication.
I was thinking of buying one of those Flip video cameras, but the cheaper version only holds ~30 minutes and I don't think it's got a removeable memory card. I've seen some in-car video taken on one and it looks good. I've got a working 8mm sony handycam- I was thinking it would be cool to use the camcorder as a camera and tie it into some sort of memory card storage device via the RCA plugs (??). Not sure if this is even possible, much less on a budget.
As for car to pit communication, it seems that the FRS/GMRS based systems are universally labelled as teh suck- but the true "race" systems are at least several hundred $$$$'s, which is just not in the Lemons budget. So, any ideas for this?
See you at CMP in a couple of weeks.
