[Fot] Bullet Style Cameras

[Gary]

Steven:

Here are a couple of websites regarding race cams:

www.raceoptics.com
www.racecam.com

Like you, I have been using a simple camcorder with motion stablization and 
it works well since the camera and recorder are one unit.  However, I'd like 
to find a bullet or "lipstick" style camera as well.  Would be interested in 
what you find.
