Whats the score with cameras??

[ChattyCheats]

Hi all,

Just a quick question, do track day organisers allow you to use a camera either on your bike or helmet? I've seen loads of people do it but have they just put them on without the organisers knowing, or is it the organisers themselves who put it on your bike?

Regards

Bike: Yes, most places have a guy that will hire you cams and set them up for you.

Helmet: No.

Cheers Mr Fro. If you have your own camera can you use that on the bike?

[Mr Fro]

Yes - I have one that I attach to the tail looking forward as my arsecam.

Just make sure it's securely mounted. A bit of paracord or something attaching it to the bike as a secondary just in case the mount breaks isn't a bad idea (ask the stewards how many cams they pick off the track at the end of each day).

Happy days. Ahhh the strength of paracord....

[Mr Fro]

I've heard it has magical properties...

You got some track days in mind then? There are a few people on here (including me) who get on track now and again...

Cams are allowed. Not on your person or helmet or fuel tank.

I always thread a tie wrap on mine just incase.

Ive seen a couple laying on the track.

There is a clause on the msv form saying footage is for personal use and not allowed to be uploaded to youtube. Not that it stops anyone.

Mr Fro,

Yeah im currently away with work till the end of next month but looking at some for when I get back. Want to do brands hatch first as its closest to me.

No limits are doing one on the 31st of march. Might book myself in the novice group and give it a go?
