Hi All, We are thinking of getting a dash camera. Hoping to get some good water crossing shots etc. Has anybody got any recommendations and is it hard to put the video onto the ipad etc.
Thanks in advance

Sue,
I do have a very hi-tec but also very cheap method of videoing from inside the vehicle.
Take 2 heavy duty rubber bands, next you will require a mobile phone that is capable of taking video. Most mobile phones have this function.
Using the rear view mirror set the mobile phone up so that the lens has a good view of the road ahead.
Hold phone in place with the 2 rubber bands. It might take a bit of setting up so make sure that you are stationary for this process.
Set the phone ready to video, and with a push of a button you are recording.
This has two advantages.
1. You can see what you are recording in real time.
2. It can be on social media with in seconds of the
river crossing
I have used this method to video a camel running on the CSR last year for the first time and it worked out OK.

Hi there Geoff.
I have a BlackVue HD WiFi GPS Vehicle Drive Recorder with 16GB card for about 6months now and could not be happier with it.
There is a newer model out now BlackVue Dual Camera HD WiFi GPS Dashcam with 16GB card.which records both front and rear.I have NO connections with the seller .
Just happy to give positive comments on this product.
I bought
mine from Camzilla here in
Sydney.
