B18C5-EH2

My friend Justin has made an external camera mount for his 1992 Civic hatch. We were messing around with it on Sunday, and he got some pretty cool footage of 6 of us hybrid hatches rolling/cruising around with some "dropping" footage too.

The cars:

CX with B18C5 (me)
Si hatch with B18C5 - H-T member blykins
DX hatch with 170hp second-gen B16A - filming
DX hatch with a swap to remain anonymous (top secret, but faster than my car for sure!)
CX hatch with B20Z swap with LS tranny and Skunk 2 manifold

First the pics of the camera mount:









Here's the "control room" for the camera - pretty hi-tech for being low tech huh?



And of course, the cars y0!













And finally the video.

RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS or I'll yank the link. It's not a huge server so do not try to view it or you'll crash the site for sure.

It's a huge video, but it's worth it IMO. Very unique camera angle and cool music, and a few nice "action" sequences - you'll see what I mean.

Here's the link - RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS!!!

And a back-up (quicker) server too:

Please just save it and allow everyone to watch the vid, thanks!

Comments welcome, and if you want to know any specifics about the mount then by all means post up Q's and I'll try to answer them.



EDIT:

I had to relocate the pics to Imagestation, which downsizes the pics automatically - as soon as We-Todd-Did gets back up I'll relink them because they're bigger there.

EGO

thanks dood...

That is being fixed now that the guy has another stock hatch as a beater.



Oh and on a side note, the last cong is one of my band's older songs.

We're going to do up a much better video once the mics for his camera don't cut in and out. Next video will be much more action-oriented with about 3 more cameras with much more angles and cuts, and more car sounds and a brand new song by my band.

Where's the tech in this thread?

*cough*dick*cough*

nice vid man, good song too.

B18C5-EH2

Camera mount bro.

Pretty self explanatory if you ask me, and you did!

Phase2

can you make that video again, but without the songs? i wanna hear the motors roar!!!

B18C5-EH2

Next vid will be better on car sounds.

He had two external mics in stereo, but both were cutting out and sounding like ****. The music covers that up pretty well.

Next vid will be WAY more technical. Camera angles and cut scenes that go with the music, more VTEC, etc.

This was just a test and the guy only spent 2 hours tops editing - best ones take at least a week.

Dude, that's sweet. Still waiting for the download. Bet you got a lotta wierd looks with that thing on the side. What's the retail on one of those?

EGsixer

nice video ..but is that "top secret" hatch running a little rich or what? kinda smokey ey?

freakin_eLRoD

that has got to be one of the most interesting ways of mounting a camera! that is a great example of jerry rigging 101 at its finest! big to you

zeroracerh

thanks i need that! nice cam postion!

B18C5-EH2

$30.00 for the mount bro.

He already had the Sony Handicam and DVD viewer, so why not?

B18C5-EH2

Well We-Todd-Did is down, so the pics don't work right now.

Give them time and they'll work again.

mantic6t9

That's pretty cool. Can wait to see some videos with more cameras.

EARLdaSQUIRREL

nice video, woulda been ever better if you had another one say inside one of the other hatches, i love the black si , reminds me of mine

8Grand

uh, the one from cone cam is like 40 and its about 10 times smaller and cooler looking.... the 3 suction cup one I am talking about....
