Just me going through tunnels, saying hi, and admirer caught on my candid camera :) I positioned my new cam on a new spot on my rollbar. What interesting drive have you done lately?

I see the camera is recording while you are away?

Yes, I had my camera connected to a hidden lithium battery. It could record continuously in hd for like 44 hours. Lots of people approached the car that day but they were all very polite and just for photos. I used a new clamp called tackform so I could record from sideways.

I bought and mounted an insta 360 on the rear glass, I thought it would make an epic video. People were pointing and looking and it was cool. Until I tried to view the footage, I had to download a program then got a message my PC needed a powerful video card.Plus the gigs recorded was astronomical. I ordered a chinesium video card and it didn't work and at this point at around $1500 nothing was working so I returned everything.

I tried another supposedly good camera with video that was easy to edit but the image quality was worse than something made in the 70's. I gave up.

The only thing I retrieved from the insta with a phone app was this guy doing a loser sign, you know self proclamation. šŸ˜€

I tried positioning my camera as inconspicuous as possible from outside view. Some losers are not very nice when being recorded.

I'm using Sony action cam that holds the video (mp4) with microSD card. When I want to transfer the videos, I just take out the microSD card, and plug it to a microSD card reader cable. The reader cable has usb-c male connector that plugs directly into standard Iphone. Then I open the standard photo app and import the files. If you have the videos recorded as mp4, Iphone can read and import them just fine. No need to have a PC to process it.

My old Sony action cam:

This is the new position. I use Tackform extension from the roll bar to the seat hole. The action cam is mounted upside down on that connector. It has gyroscope that detect orientation. The best thing is, I can invite unexpected jealous cops to sit on it for his amusement.
