- Hi Jim, We mounted a Sony 8mm camera on our rollcage in a box and when the audio got kinda loud (we only have a flathead v8) the audio and the video break up. I was wondering if the newer digital cam

- The video camera problem could possibly be due to EMI/RFI noise getting into the camera's electronics. Similar problems affect electronic tachometers, too. The cure is shielding and filtering-- not

- Seriously, if the circuit designers had done a proper job of limiting the audio levels, the cameras wouldn't have that audio/video problem. I agree that EMI/RFI problems are less troublesome now but
