Looking forward to attending - fingers crossed for good weather and conditions!

 

@Gaurav - quick question for you - would it be acceptable to mount a 360 camera on the front of the vehicle? I have a fixed mount (screw in to front bumper), very secure, but wanted to check if Carnity had any "rules" on this one. Thanks!

[Gaurav]

Hi Chris, all external cameras should have safe and secure mounts for your camera safety and others.

@Looper our 360 camera and filming expert can shed some more info (if needed).

[ChrisW]

Thank you, @Gaurav! I should have clarified - I have a fixed mount installed on the car already (which I’m happy is secure and safe), just wanted to check there would be no issue to using it on the day!

As long as you are able keep it securely fixed on your car - you are good to go. Please make sure that the camera mounting is not obstructive for your sight of the track ahead. I was perplexed once or twice with my bumper mounted action camera mount; but now I am used to it.
