Default In car video: what is everyone using.

Looking to get an in car setup and wanted to know what most are using and are happiest with. I figure a lot of go-pros but open to other suggestions.

i've been reading into the new GoPro HD Hero 2's and the WiFi bacpac they sell, apparently it has an app for your phone that allows you to control the GoPro from your phone enabling you to record and pause remotely... i need to read it again but i'm sure that what i read.

Contour because of the mounting versatility and the ease of operation. Here are some sample videos of the Exospeed Turbo Civic in action all shot with a Contour Roam.

we use 3 go pros on our sprint car. never had any issues ( if you have them set up its just the push of a button) quality is good and they are relativley cheap if you use the non-HD ones. We use 2 HD's and one regular one when we race.

Had the Go Pro Hero HD 1 and got two new HD2. They are much better and the screen is easier to figure out what mode you are in.
