...from the other side of the lens?
You guys know the ones I'm talking about. The camera that is always under-tire that gets knocked about like a ping pong ball when one of the WRC cars flies past it...
Are the cameras encased in a clear acrylic ball?

they're usually in a lexan cube. a ball would roll arround, but a cube can sit flat on the roadway. they're reinforced with what looks like aluminum. those things take a hell of a beating, and it kinda makes me wonder how many of those Speed goes through a season.

Thanks! They must have a heckuva suspension/shock absorption system to live through some of those wallops!

i'm not so sure that they actually live through the experience sometimes. i hit up google to try and find some pics of the actual cameras, but couldn't come up with the right search terms.
