www.racerpartswholesale.com has a few systems. Their website is
designed so I can't do a direct link to the product line, but it's
featured on the main page. I've got the SPI-S1 connected to a Sony
camcorder with digital image stabilization. That one had a crappy
built in mike, so I rewired it to use a $25 Radio Shack external
mike. Sounds decent now. Picture looks good, the camcorder on the
rollbar shake is gone. It's a pretty wide angle picture. I did have
to put a little sun visor over it as looking directly into the sun
caused a line in the picture. They've got more complete kits - the
one with an external mike and a solid state DVR (digital video
recorder) is intriguing. You can see an example of the output at:
http://www.tonydrews.com/Videos/TonyGrattan08222004web.wmv (race
starts about 3 min into that one). In that video, I've lowered the
resolution to make a smaller video file - the normal output fills a
standard def TV nicely.
