Hey, for those of you who have dash cams of some sort, what is your setup? Do you take video with a camcorder or smartphone? What kind of mount do you use (other than the passenger!)? Post some pics!

I hope this means you'll be heading off of the paved path soon:)

Well, our Mexican road trip is starting to take shape for the very end of July and into August. This is going to get tricky with your action-packed June/July schedule. I guess we'll play it by ear for now.

Picked up a used Go Pro with a bunch of mounts and extra D cards and batteries for $150.00.

That's pretty cool, but I'd be afraid of tree branches and what-not knocking that off.

Anyone use something that's dash mounted?

You could mount a GoPro on the inside if you're worried it would get knocked off. Also, those GoPros are supposed to be pretty tough.

One of my buddies had a gopro last trip. It was call but I didn't like how there was barely any sound.... that took away from the wow factor because you couldnt hear the engine race or the tires screeching on the rocks.

Update: The last weekend of July has opened up for me! What's it look like for you?

I should be good!!

Does Saturday or Sunday matter for you? I'd like to see if Brad & Tim want to come, but they work Saturdays...

Either is good for me. Given a preference, I'd prefer Saturday, but Sunday is cool if it means there would be more of us.
