More Memorial Day NHIS Videos

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

A couple more quick videos from the Memorial Day PDX event I did with SCCA (NER) at NHIS. It was a great event; very low attendance (just 25 folks had pre-registered), fantastic weather, plenty of instructors, and the BMWCCA curriculum. There were several times where I wondered if I’d somehow missed the checkered flag, since I couldn’t see any other cars! Anyway, onward to the videos.

Fast(ish) lap of 1:34. Is this really fast? No. Did I get carried away with the iMovie effects. Yes. :)

Beautiful car, I just wish I’d seen more of it in my rearview mirrors… (click to play).

Driving to NHIS

Keep your eyes peeled at around the 1:00 mark. ;)

In-car camera mounts

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

I’ve purchased a fair bit of gear in the last few months for mounting both my video camera and DSLR in the car and I thought I’d take a few minutes and describe the setups I’m using.

First up is the Gripper suction-cup mount from Filmtools (which I bought back in January and didn’t remember posting about). It’s nothing more than a suction cup with a plunger that draws a vacuum, a Bogen 3D head, and some custom hardware to tie the two together. It’s simple and effective and well worth the $90 or so I paid for it. The rubber suction cup itself is quite rugged, and the vacuum pump helps to make a nice firm seal to the surface. The pump plunger has a red line on it, and when that line shows, you know that an appreciable amount of suction has been lost and it’s time to take action. Honestly, when the red line shows, there’s still quite a bit of grip, but when you’ve got more than a thousand dollars worth of sensitive equipment suspended above the ground you probably shouldn’t mess around too much. These pictures were both taken using the Gripper mount:

The straight-ahead shot with the Gripper was taken using this orientation:

Note that the camera’s mounted upside-down to accomplish this. I have kind of a love/hate relationship with that head. It’s more flexible than probably any other head I’ve seen and is an excellent fit for this application, but the three knobs and independent axes of adjustment are a royal pain in the ass, and I’m constantly pinching a finger in there somewhere.

The other mount is a CruiseCam in-car headrest mount. It’s a simple mount that clamps to the two supports that make up most adjustable headrests. The camera gets positioned between the two seats and will typically look straight out the front or rear of the car. I used it for the first time this weekend at an autocross and I think I like the results (although I haven’t even seen the video off the camera yet). The mounting options aren’t as flexible as the Gripper, but it gives you a couple that aren’t possible (or aren’t as “good”), those being the straight-ahead or -behind shots. You can also use it on the rear headrests.

Here’s a rear view of my video camera (and associated wires…) mounted to the CruiseCam:

I’ve only taken a few stills with this mount and it was on a very bumpy road; the results of longer exposures (1/10s) weren’t very good due to the massive jarring of the car. The test videos I’ve taken look pretty good so far, however. This is one quick shot I took with my wide-angle lens and the CruiseCam:

For video, I’m using a Sony DCR–HC96 MiniDV camera, a Sony VMCK100 microphone adapter (the –HC96 doesn’t have a regular mic input), an Audio–Technica ATR–35S lavaliere mic, and the Sony DC adapter for power. The stock battery’s good for about 20 minutes which is pretty damn pathetic in my opinion, especially since the large capacity battery’s over $100. Acquiring this rig is another post (hell, book) in its own right, and I’ll let the results speak for themselves (soon, hopefully!).

For both the CruiseCam and Gripper mounts I’m using a Bogen 3299 Quick Release adapter. It attaches to any support that would normally screw into the bottom of a camera but provides a quick-release feature that’s really handy. Once the camera’s aimed, you can remove it from the mount without having to worry about aiming it again later. It also makes setup and tear-down much easier. I’ve got two or three of these, now, and need at least one more.

I’ve got a small set on Flickr showing the Gripper and CruiseCam mounts in my car to give an idea of how I use them and what’s possible.

OSMC window-tinting run

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Ostensibly, we were going to check out Pete’s tint, but we all knew it was just an excuse to drive and eat. :-)

Despite the fairly crap weather, we attacked some good twisties, heard some good music, and ate well. Thanks everyone!

Suction cup camera mount

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Playing around with a new suction cup mount that arrived last week. This one’s going to be a lot of fun…

The profit from this vehicle went to a USA company.

What country did your vehicle support?




Ok, let’s just ignore for a second that the profit from the sale of your vehicle didn’t go solely to a “USA company”, but also to international companies that provided components. You can be certain China and Mexico saw a cut, even if the majority did go to fly Mark Fields back to Florida every weekend. But now let’s think about the dozens of gallons of dino-juice you pump through your King Ranch Edition F-250 every time you fill up. Who do you think sees that profit? Saudi Arabia? Kuwait? Now if instead Mr. America here were driving a Camry, wouldn’t he still be supporting American workers (in Toyota’s auto plants) while reducing (perhaps by 60% or more) his oil consumption and therefore his support of countries that our county’s currently giving the hairy eyeball to?

Random license plates

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

New Hampshire seems to be the land of the personalized license plate. They’re fairly inexpensive ($30/year over the normal registration cost), so you see them nearly everywhere. The other night I saw a SINNER being chased by a SINGER and a DANCER. And on the way to work today I saw LSNCPL8. SCRAT and MATER seem so tame, by comparision…

Meet the newest members of the family

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Out with the old, and in with the new. Except that the old wasn’t that old, and one of the new isn’t that new.

Goodbye Sputnik, Hello Scrat

Out with the old, in with the new
On Friday, I traded in my ‘05 MCS (Sputnik) and brought home an ‘06 MCS (Scrat). I’d been toying with the idea of upgrading as I neared the end of the maintenance period and saw the end of the factory warranty looming in another six months (and about three years before paying off the car). I’d also had enough little problems with Sputnik that I thought I’d try my luck with a new car. Due to a snafu with the DMV, the new car’s not getting driven (much), but I should have that sorted out tomorrow. Initial impressions are fantastic, of course; it’s starting to limber up and I can’t wait ‘til the break-in’s done. There’s not yet a single rattle and I’m hoping it’ll stay that way for a little while. :-)

Yet another Jeep

I picked up a used 1999 Jeep Cherokee last month.

Yeah, I've got your FAST right here, pal

Mater’s got about 143,000 miles on him and will need a little love to get back into tip-top shape, but I’m enjoying having something to wrench on. The body’s in good shape, the engine’s strong, and the four-wheel-drive system works, and those were my primary criteria. It’s a luxury to have a 2nd vehicle, but I really enjoy having something that I won’t freak out about if the dogs get a foot print on the seat or if it picks up (another) scratch. Mater is the sixth Jeep I’ve driven regularly (the first four were my dad’s), and it feels kind of like coming back home. If nothing else, I’m familiar with all the work that’ll have to be done on this one!

I also started putting together a set of pages to keep track of what I’m going with my small fleet of dino juice guzzler.
