Default How do some of you video AND DRIVE at the same time?

Just wondering if there is some real easy way to video and drive, I don't have anyone who can video for me and when I try to do both at the same time it ends up looking like crap, I'm pretty darn coordinated but there must be an easier way lol Currently I just set it down somewhere, but that gets boring to people viewing the video. Maybe i'll tape it to the controller or something lol
I want to start taking lots of video and then put one good music video of each of my trucks together.

Anyone have any tips?

Ive seen people tape the camcorder to the bottom of the pistol grip radio and just keep it pointed at the car.

Hmm well i did as best as i could video taping while holding the camera and i slapped together this video of my 1/5 scale FG MT tell me what you think.
I'd also like to say it's darn complicated to video and drive a beast like this lol

Dude i have big hands also so i have no idea how you do it, how do you accurately throttle and steer at the same time? Yah i use my thumb to steer sometimes but not to video a bash session, way to hard! Especially with a FG MT lol

Yes you can upgrade to 4WD but it cost a little over 700 bucks. Eventually i'll get it.

Yeah its better to have full control over your vehicle than to have a good video. No need to go beating it up just to show a few people a cool vid.

Borrow one of those Apache helicopter helmets with the flip down optical view finder, and strap your camera on that.
