The best I've seen was a welded alloy box with the camera strapped in tight.
This
was on Morgan and he'd been through some iterations. His tip was to put the
microphone down by the exhaust - much nicer than wind, gearbox grinding, and
valves. His regret was that his remote was on/off for each push on the same
type of
mechanical remote as a stills camera. Often loose track of if it was on or off
and
strapped in he couldn't tell. Worth putting the camera somewhere where you can
see
what's going on even when strapped in.
