Or you could just use a Go Pro HD (£250) like the BBC and Channel 5 use.

Thanks for all these great tips. I was looking for tips to improve home videos and this has been a great help. Really like the aluminum foil tip.

[videomaker]

@marykme Glad to hear it!

She forgot the very best technique of all - clamping the camera to the car's door with your hand out the window. It works AWESOME!

2:20 I'm a homeschooler and our family van is a 15 passenger. I guess that doesn't qualify as old fasioned

[ziggerification]

hey are you a movie director or do you know any movie directors because i wanna be a movie director when i grow up :)

[videomaker]

@ziggerification A good place to meet some directors is on the Videomaker forums at the Videomaker website. We have a lot of aspiring and professional video directors posting there who might be able to give you some tips.

Cheers,

@ziggerification If you really want to be a director you should check out the New York Film academy where they teach you Film, Acting, Cinematopgraphy, Photography etc. All you need is a High school Diploma, be able to speak English and a have a love for movies. I can already tell you have 2 of the 3 requirements already.

Hi - interesting tips.

How do you decide what focus mode to set ( automatic or manual).It was not discussed.

I like to include those big street sign boards that tells you the name of attraction, the distance to reach there. At 35 mph, would it be too fast to capture these moving sign boards? I tried zooming in to catch the signboard and unzoom later to show the background scenery. My experience is, better to pull over and take the still shot instead. What do you think?

[candlelightfairygirl]

good video. I need to do this when I shoot my movies.

[GeorgeMaier]

1:10 CREEPY SMILE!!!! LOL

[MonicaRidesMoto]

[Josh18R]

@Legokink1 She'll fall out!!

[theslickmexican]

This video is proof that good equipment will not magically give you good footage.

[Jakemz51]

The family car or TRUCK?! im sorry but we dont drive "trucks". we have a nissan micra and mondeo.

[TEAMZIONPRO]

how do you get permission to use the cars in this video do you simply not show the insignia of the manufacturer ?

[anessenator]

I use a simple suction mount

[unetunfontdeux]

You should work on deinterlacing your footage first and foremost. Then learn about I and P frames in mpeg encoding. That is why the image is getting garbled.

[gamalmorisi]

thanks a lot

[jamessfromtx]

Thanks a ton for this!

[DEEJAYDAVEDENALI]

you can use a small corner sofa pillow with a soft swade texture and you would get way better steady playback rather then using a bean bag !!

[coastsj]

Thank you!! Very Informative

[whatsupfamousface]

JUST what I needed to know, thanks!

[TK42138]

Good tips.

Just be aware that most late model car seats have airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioner cables and sensor wires running under the seat and along the seat runners/frame so go careful when securing tripod or any other equipment to a car seat.

[ronseacorner]

Good stuff, that's really helpful

[barbaralaketahoe]

I wish I would have had this info when I first starting shooting from my dashboard, my favorite thing to do!!

I have my very first drive thru Downtown Reno on my utube page which is soooo much FUN to see how everyone has enjoyed it!!

Thanks for the info! I love Videomaker!!

[2BellProductions]

[viperz888]

where can I attach it to my Subaru Forester STi 2.0 turbo AWD???

[cmmovie]

really helpful

[beeziefied]

That would be a Sony Z1U?

[CONTROLbase]

Yo tengo una mejor forma de colocar la camara en el tablero del auto, vean algunos de mis videos donde e filmado colocando la camara dentro de un balde ajustado con tornillos, todo bien calibrado, si quieren les puedo mostrar, tengo fotos. Ademas no se necesita una camara de cine para hacer una toma, con cualquier camara digital y bajando o subiendo la calidad salen fantasticas. este dispositivo lo he creado yo, me las ingenie, improvise.
