Mounted Cameras

[fry8]

Has anyone got any tips for mounted cameras? Every time I've tried the camera was always too low so you can't quite see out of the car and the lighting is too dark, but if i have it mounted on a helmet, the sound isn't as good because the wind messes up the sound. I know there are expensive set ups that you can use but I can't really afford them I was hoping someone could give me some tips.

well as both videos seem too be of different cars it hard to answer but if i was doing it i would look at putting the camera behind the clear screen which should cut some of the wind noise and also some of the wind buffeting.

They're the same type of car, just one is for practice, one is for racing. The camera can't go there unfortunately. And the way the roll bar is fitted (it doubles as the tow bar) it can't go above my head. I'm a bit stuck.
