    Exclamation speed camera

    harro

    does anyone know where i can get a relatively cheap speed camera?

    i've googled and got awesome looking machines but they're all $200 plus and i cant justify any more than $100 for the amount of times i will use it.

    the best option i have found so far is to buy from america but the moment i ask mum she will say no. she doesnt like buying from OS for some reason...something about warranties and postage

    matchbox or hot wheels or something like that have a cheap one. has any one got one???? how do they go ( i'm about to go look for reviews ) this seems like any economical option right now.

    other than that, i cant think of anything else so any ideas?

    cheers

    He's doing a school project to graph "Amount of Pain" vs "Speed of Wood Prior To Impacting Head"

    I read a couple of reviews of the Hot Wheels gun and they were very impressed with the accuracy of such a cheap item.

    I'm sure one did a comparison with a police radar gun, and wondered why our tax money was being wasted

    Cheers,

    the hot wheels one was reviewed by some to be awesome.

    but others that used it for sports like baseball and hockey etc said it wazs useless.

    i found a $99 kit on the Jaycar site. that looks all right.

    thanx for your help fellas

    Stirlo, are you going to keep us in suspense or are you going to tell us what you need a speed camera for?

    Stirlo, if you get the Jaycar one i can help you build it.
    I have cert IV or cert III or something in electronics (I have no idea what the eqivalent is nowdays) and i have all the gear you will need.
    Let me know if you want some help.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
