In car headcam footage

As promised, here is the incar footage that I took today using my new headcam, I strapped the headcam to the passenger seat headrest and shot this little video as some were interested to see how it would turn out after seeing the video I posted of me on Hamish, cantering.
It's not top quality, but for £20 for the headcam it has to be a great buy.
I also used the headcam in the way it was intended, on my head but the alignment was out and it pointed over to the left too much, so will have to retry it another day.

Cool shots! But your are driving on the wrong side of the car! (grin). That road looks a bit on the narrow side - until I saw the other car come by, I thought it had to be a one-way...

What fun, Headlsss. But you can imagine my confusion when I started reading this thread, knowing you have nothing to strap a headcam onto.

Ah, but the passenger seat- Brilliant.

I'm trying to figure how I can mount my cam inside so I don't have to multi-task so much.

BTW - the roadster sounds fine!

I was thinking the same thing, but Suze beat me to it. *Headless*

Hook & loop (aka velcro) works great for me Suze.

headless, my antique of a computer is too busy to properly play your video at the moment ... I'm looking forward to it.

Suze... One of our club members actually found a mount at bestbuy that screws right into the tripod mount on a camera and suction cups onto the windshield... worked great on the dragon last weekend.

Looks great...

But whenever the car hit imperfections in that road, that camera goes crazy.

I can't imagine what it would look like on American roads .

psst. I like your roadster...

P.S. I thought that you were headless? I see a head!
