Car camera mounts

anyone one know where to get one?

i wanna get one for autocross when it starts up and for future stupidity we do. for digital cameras though.

also so its not just one person who gets all the action it would be cool if a few of us had some lol.

i had one. lost it tho.
it was a window sill mount, heavy duty suction cup, and a head rest mod.


look around online and you can find home made stuff.
club4ag had one design. i think

i bought mine at vivid racing, once upon a time when i had the GDA

think it would be safe to trust a ebay camera mount?

i found a few suction type mounts but iuno if theyre trustable. i dont want my camera to come flying out the window in the middle of a run

mine was like good for lifting up to 50lbs
i actually used it to pop out a few dents in my car due to...... guard rails..

deng thats crazy!

heres a few examples:

GLUE POD

some other one

11 dollar one

you want something that's rated for a particular strength.
when i bought mine, it has a video camera with a composite output on it so i could plug it into a video recorder's "input" so i was able to put it out on the hood, and run the sammich.

i heard these were good but theyre pretty expensive

i would make my own for 40 dollars but I dont have a head rest. dam stock bucket seats..

my suction cups was like that, but no so fancy mounting stuff for the equipment

like this

i would have to buy that and some other stuff right

or twist the ball off and put on an adapter for a bolt that'll fit the tripod fitment for the camera

yea.
that's a pretty good deal for the added comfort that it won't come off unless you hit something.

yea i think im going with that one thanks for the help haha

hay jon i'll trade you seats. ^^

which seats lol i love my bucket seats

you could mod a gps windshield mount, those things stick real good.

yea i was thinking of something like that but i wouldnt know where to start

got my mount. its great i did a lil test run.





When i took it off it left a fat as indentation on my dash lol.

looks like it works well

leat a realy big indentation on my dash i think ima keep it on my window. maybe take a few dents off my car while im at it..

what kinda video camera r u using?

I use a mount I made using a long aluminum slab and bracket to hold the camera. It just mounts on the headrest. I don't get any feedback from the SCCA guys at the autox so I guess it's legit. Plus I purposely used huge bolts just to make it look heavy duty. I'm thinking of either getting or making another one that clamps onto my roof since I take off my moonroof when I run so I can get some outside onboard footage. There's this clamp style one that might work, but not sure if it'll pass because they're sometimes picky about camera mounts, especially if it's your passenger....big no no. Oh, and they usually say no to suction mounts. It's safer to ask first though just to make sure.

and realy they dont allow suction mounts? thats why i bought it..

It's inconsistent on what I've seen them allow, and I've seen a few bizzarre-ass camera mounts they let by. I do know that if it's a clamp type that mounts to a solid object then it's ok. Here's the mount I made

holes go through headrest posts

It was cheap and easy to make and it does the job for me. I also use a Nissan rubber exhaust hanger wedged in between the headrest and the mount to help keep it from wobbling. I can mount it either with the camera in the middle of the seats or on the outside so I can aim the camera at me to see me driving. Adjustments to the camera are made with just reclining the seat.
