[Beetlestein]

[ultimaice]

you can always just fit it under the headrest too if there are no passengers

[TheOrb14]

CooooOOl xD

[piratesonline1]

speeding

[PeterPW]

It looks like one of those police dash cam clips... but now all he has to do is chase somebody!!

[imacusr]

how much is that?

[guerillabill]

You can purchase them direct from cruisecam com for $44

[imacusr]

thanks

[iheart707]

even with those bumps in the road you could stable that shot with After Effects. Great stock stable shot though!!

[frankie73kgt]

you didnt come to a complete stop on any stop signs.... lol

[FlyingDad]

I have a cheaper way of doing the cruise cam. DucTape.

[xdj70s]

LMAO!

[theoneandonlybakugan]

duck tape

[LivingSocialy]

lol..awesome xD

[thabest007]

Cool Hummer at the end of the video! :P

[eyeism]

How much is a Sony VX2100 in the states?

[guerillabill]

I sold mine on eBay for $920.

[12ampvacume]

Will it be strong enough to support an Arriflex. :)

[guerillabill]

Probably not.

[Y2JCHRISJERICHOFAN]

U didn't stop at the stop sign

[guerillabill]

It sure looks that way. But in reality, I stopped. But at 300x speed, it doesn't look like it.

[bestamerica]

good catch it..

call cop or not need it

[dannyab3]

what stop sign?

[bestamerica]

not good hold enough with a chair neck..

because of shake shake the videocamera..

use a tripod is the best and less shake shake

[guerillabill]

I'd like to see how you place a tripod in a moving vehicle!

[bestamerica]

hi guer,

sure i will show it later..

my handycam with a tripod on the passenage chair was so good and smooth ride..

less shake shake

[bestamerica]

go see my video of rose bowl street

[ncfmedia]

Well I'll tell ya pilgrim: I drive a Dodge Caravan mini-van & my Bogen Manfrotto tripod sits firmly on the floor between the front seats, strapped down, allowing full panning with the fluid head, to the front, sides, driver & passenger and even the rear. It even works with my Arri 16mm, film camera which is as heavy as a ton of bricks. FYI: If you loosen the set screw on the rear view mirror you can remove it for a better shot out the front window. It just takes a small allen wrench. Great vids!

[AcidTrippers]

In my 2000 Passat I pushed the passenger seat all the way back, placed my tripod (with one leg bottom under the handle that moves the seat for support), then I wedged a 24 pack box of Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theater Butter popcorn between the door and the center of the legs. Very smooth and did not fall over or move (only shook slighty with bumps and car vibrations).

[Robotdrummerzzk]

The CruiseCam seems quite good. It would be hard to place a tripod in a moving vehicle unless you really moved your seat back, but then you would find it uncomftorble and be worrying about the safety of the camera.

[homerofgods]

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[bthetomato]

Oh and wat type of mic do u use

[guerillabill]

Usually a Sony ECM55b Lavalier microphone

[bthetomato]

Hi is that the camera you use for all your videos

[guerillabill]

No, that is the camcorder I use when I mount one in a car. For my other videos I use either a Sony VX2100 or a Canon HV20

[LizBizToo]

thank you, thank you. I had no idea such a thing existed, and I luv making touring vids but always felt somewhat limited to when other people are driving; you've brought me happiness today! :D

[MIKEY19900]

hey bill good job, see mine

[MIKEY19900]

or check out my video , in-car camera mounting and making

[Bergen79]

You might wanna have a look at VirtualDub's Deshaker plugin. It's not built in, you need to google for it. It removes all the little shakes/vibrations from a video, making it really smooth. Great tool.

[ROKDRIPZ]

bit shaky at around 1:46 but still thinks

[wowtrax]

America looks nice =) And this looks like a nice product

[raymercado]

Sir Bill,

Hello...it's me again.. Sir if you may.. what is that model of the SOny camera on this video? :)

[guerillabill]

That's an older Sony TRv9 camcorder.  Shoots in miniDV format.

Find them used on eBay for $100.

[phillyeaglesfan2010]

this is like what the police use isnt it?

[87even]

neat neat video!!!!

:D

[VX2100DV]

I use a Cruisecam to and like it. Are you using a wide angle lens attachment?

[guerillabill]

No, I haven't tried it with a wide-angle. I zoom the camcorder so that it just barely catches the hood an rear-view mirror. A wide angle might add some interest. Thanks for the suggestion.

[arielmagne]

Excellent Bill!

Thank you for posting all your videos.

Best regards from argentina.

[bwoodfilms]

ive been having trouble and i was just wondering if you can help me...when i render my video and i make it into a real video it maes it but its only a second long

[guerillabill]

Make sure you haven't checked the 'render selected region only' tab in the render options.

If you accidentally check that, only one second of blank video will be rendered if you haven't selected any video.
