    Recording off the wall will get’er done, but quality will be low. I would think GoPro would fisheye the frame.

     

    Here’s my set-up. Not too pretty, but got the job done with pretty good quality.

    8mm conversion

    Hey Robert—

    a couple years ago I transferred our family vintage karting 8mm films to video. They are posted on my blog here:
    https://kartrestoration.blogspot.com/2014/03/karting-in-1960s-and-1970s-from-8mm.html?m=1
    Mostly from IRP, but Grattan was featured in one.  I didn’t recognize it until running there in 2013.

     

    I hope they are a blessing!
