When I first got my car in my teens I wanted to film driving this very dangerous almost single lane road that twisted down to a place called Jenolan Caves. The road ended by driving into the main cave arch and through to the other side where people parked to then take tours of the caves. Video cameras were out of my financial reach then so I got a super 8 film camera and built it into a headlight bucket and replaced one of the headlights with it. No cable release was long enough so I used something they call an air release where you squeeze a rubber bladder that pumped air along a tube and triggered the camera at the other end. Then when we got to the last few kms the twistiest part into the caves and just went flat out while activating the camera in the headlight bucket. 3 mins and 20 seconds was all the time you got for a roll of film so had to be sure we got to the caves in that time before running dry. When got into the grand arch did a handbrake turn so the camera panned around to point back up the road again. Still have the film. You probably get arrested and end up on the 6 o'clock news for doing something like that now. Then the kids at the caves just pointed and smiled.

Would be a good idea for us old gifts with bad memory once we've got to where we are going just put the tape in reverse to get home

Too expensive for a Northern Monkey, just a roll of green garden twine on a stick, tie it to the gate post and wind it in to find home.

Do you still use the two bean cans and string for a telephone ??
