I fooled around a bit with video last year. here is what I've learned. The mount must be absolutely RIGID..vibration of the tape across the heads will cause a crappy image.
Also always record in SP mode. especially if you are using Mini-DV tapes. they are very delicate and recording in the long-mode stretches the tapes too much and they break.
Try not to shoot your instruments if you have white-faced dials. the camera will set the exposure to the nearest bright object ..so filming your tach/speedo in bright sunlight (or even less than bright sunlight) will cause the rest of the image to be very dark.
Carry a spare battery
And label your tapes when your done shooting.
