Two Videos from Jeepskool
Here are two videos of one trail from Jeepskool last weekend. I used my Best-Buy brand Insignia HD video cam and rigged it to the body as a side cam. I just wanted to test the camera out so i was on an easy trail.

Very nice! Reminds me I have a Kodak Playsport I got in Iraq. I ordered a Fat Gecko camera mount and remote for it so I could mount it on my vic over there. I never got to use it because I only got the camera, they wouldn't send the mount or the remote overseas, had to have it sent to my folks house. Can't wait to test it out now!!!
Keep making videos, I'm sure everyone would like to see more!

Here's how i attached it, using a mount we had laying around the house for something that goes to a car.. 
Anyway, i can take off the swinging arm and screw the camera onto the screw, or leave the arm, screwing the camera onto the arm screw. The suction cup has a little locking mechanism which keeps it from popping off, however i use a velcro strap or two holding the lanyard to the Jeep just in case it should come off somehow.
And that just cups onto the Jeep in different places. Works pretty well

I like the side angle but we cant see much of the trail. Maybe try putting the camera on the top or maybe on the hood. Regardless the video quality and the setup is really cool 
Nice job

Thanks, yeah i know sbout the trail view.. because of the mount my llimitations were the sides because i can actually change the angle up or down. Later on i will mount it higher up so the trail is visible, also i can mount it next to the stereo on the interior.
-Fall and winter will be better as i can mount it onto the hardtop window.
As for the brand of the mount, i have no idea. but it's a few years old and i believe it was originally for a Sirius Satellite Radio unit, but the kit i do not exactly know. if you meant for the camera, it's an Insignia HD video camera, that also takes pretty good pictures.
