Alright guys and girls,
I have decided to take the video experience up a notch! I see videos people post on here all the time and as an RTF major it makes me cringe sometimes. I want MORE!!! So instead of just whining about it, I am whining and walking the walk!
I had this idea come to me after I saw a video crownvic.net. Made me literally jump out of my bed and go outside, mount the cameras and go out to my favorite set of twisties, so with out further wasting of your time:
This video is quicktime and is 640X480, it has both camera shots in one clip, you will see why.

I am also uploading an HD version of the film for those who want it in all the glory of full resolution (1280X720, be careful if you have a slow computer or small monitor!):

Just the front camera view:

Here are some photos documenting the setup:

So I had a little mishap shooting this, my Canon S550 kissed the asphalt in just the slightest way!

So yeah, don't try this stuff at home kids, unless you are ready to truly experiment with your gear:) So there ya go, zip ties, little camera mounts can go a long way.
