After trying a cheap on board camera this year (£15 - yes that cheap) which gave us some passable results, (see Lydden and Gedinne posts, 2011) Stu has invested in something a little more upmarket.

| Drift 170 Stealth action camera (OK, it's a silly macho name) |
We're hopeful that this new camera offering High Definition and 60 frames per minute will provide some good footage in the future. The high frame rate means that we may also be able to have slow motion clips.
Today we started testing and below are our first clips on one of the Ducati's, firstly facing forward, mounted on the fork leg.
As you can see, the camera can be clipped to the mount very quickly
And below fear facing, mounted on the seat hump.
The remote control can start/stop recording from up to 5M away as shown here
On the way home Stu tested the camera, strapped to his boot, to give another perspective, and also added a slow motion section.
Fine so far, but will it stand the vibration of a 250 single and the rigours of classic racing?
Andy is racing at Snetterton this weekend with the CRMC where we hope to give it a real test so we will let you know in the next post.
