Digital Camcorders for long road trip.

Hey guys! I have been looking everywhere for a good camera forum to ask this but they all seem like idiots, so I'll ask here just incase someone knows, or knows of someone in the know..

As some of you know I'm going for a 3 week roadtrip to the arctic and we'd like to film as much as we can of the trip. We're looking for atleast 2 cheap cameras which don't mind being used and abused and filming for a long period of time . As for memory we'd like to use SD cards as these are cheap and we can fill them up, mark them with the time and date then store them ready to be edited into a feature film.
The cameras themselves will need to have a reasonable battery life (we will take spare batterys and chargers to keep a constant flow of power) and also should be able to fit these in-car mountings:

Wide angled lense would be ideal for filming in a cramped jimny. We'll also use them for filming outside the car.

Thanks to anyone who can help, been looking EVERYWHERE for something and I'm now i'm a little stuck!

The gopros look good but are a bit pricey. They are made for what you want to do. Personally and shoot the video on your android phone with a 32gb sd card and by a dash mount for it. Can use it as a sat nav as well then.

After some hours of searching I've found these: www.7dayshop.com/photo-and-video/cameras...d-your-journeys?cl=4

Seems.perfect! Also good for off-roading

Don't waste your money on those.

I did, I bought two, both in the bin after a couple of uses, rubbish.

Damn. Back the the drawing board! What did you use instead?

This is taken by a $45 Aiptek camera sitting on my hat on the dash. Obviously you only get what you pay for. A rigid mount would improve things and I will get one soon.



Otway ranges is a great drive though!
