Nice video, everything looked smooth. Some of your turn ins might have been a bit early but no large errors. How were the brakes?

One question on the camera--your Elph HS 300 worked well. What kind of mount did you use?

I've got an Elph 100HS and my videos have been fuzzy at various resolutions--like it was going in and out of focus. I've been forced to use an old camera--Canon A540--because the video on the elph is pretty much unwatchable even with a solid mount. What kind of settings on the camera are you using when recording? Resolution/tracking/ stabilization..????

Would appreciate an suggestions on getting my Elph 100 providing better in-car video.

Here's a link to a couple of mine in car videos using the A540; the WG video was with a loose chase cam mount which I fixedby taking out the extension.

The EBC pads were awesome. Absolutely no fade.

My Cannon Elph 300 was purchased on sale at Best Buy for $130. It has high def video and image stabilization. I used a Gorilla Pod mount. It has three goofy legs that I used to wrap around my rear view mirror. The draw back is the video is up side down and you have to turn it using MS Movie Maker. I have my setting at 1080p which is too much as it would only allow 11 minute clips at a time. I'll do lower resolutions in August.[/QUOTE]

It's wrapped around your rear view mirror? Wow--the guys in tech didn't have a problem with that?

Did you leave it on auto or did you dabble with the settings?
