Wow, looks pretty good! I am surprised how little wobble there is.

Here are some pics of the fixture we made to mount an upright
camera to an I/O port rollbar camera mount.

nice vids Tom!

I am going to have to figure out how to upload YoutubeHD
as I am using the builtin upload routine in Pinnacle Studio 14
and it says that the Youtube and Yahoo video upload limits
are 100MB/10min...so I cut the videos into 9min pieces...and
reduce the resolution until it starts to look crappy.

are there any tricks to the HD upload?

Convert at 6MB/sec and you're going to be fine. I use Sony Vegas for my encoding. Usually, we don't get more then 9-10 mins of action in a 30 minute race, so just cut the exciting parts into a 10 minute video and upload.

I personally think all the "$100" fake HD "little" cams kinda look bad, and they have pretty poopy output and dynamic range. You can't beat that $250 Samsung for quality. My videos look better then the damn NASCAR broadcasts
