In car video camera mount for the evo
In car video camera mount for the evo
Does anyone know of an in car camera mount made to fit the inside of the evo without compromising room on the interior. I found one that is really a harness bar that fits behind the seats and a camera can mount on there, but it makes it a little unsafe for rear passengers in every day driving. I want something that would be allowed on track days as well. That is the purpose for the mount; filming in car on an open track. I found one windshield mountable bracket, but i'm not sure that would be allowed.
I got a clamp mount at ChaseCam.com, then mounted it to the center child safety restraing latch on the rear deck above the back seat. Right in the middle, there is a plastic cover on top of the metal latch. I lifted the cover, then clamped right onto the metal piece. It's very sturdy and rigid - it does not move.
Here is a drag vid I got while using it:

I also used it during my autox the next day, but the turns are so tight that the angle from the rear with zoom is not proper. It should work awesome on the road course, though.

Which clamp mount? I went to the site and saw many different ones. Which one did you buy?
Anyone ever tried something like those "backup" cameras, maybe placed in the front bumper? I've been thinking about this for a bit, and I think it would be tight. Maybe use it in conjuction with an in cabin camera, a little video editing, could make for a nice clip.

I looked at the one with suction cups for the inside of the windshield. That one looks pretty good, but I'm not sure if they will let you use that on a track day. It could be a liability in their eyes if it broke loose and flew around the car. I didn't see the one that clips on the child seat hook either. That one sounds pretty cool.
Ivan, I didn't know there was more than one. I got the only one I saw, and I bought the package deal where I got the clamp mount and suction cup mount.
1NastyEvo, that should be the best way to do it. I plan to do that with a GSC harness bar in the near future, but for now, my camera is about 3-4' further back on the back ledge. Having it on a harness bar is a superior method.
Occultworks, yes, I know people who do that, and I plan to do it myself as well. They call it a "lipstick" or "bullet" camera, and it connects to your nice camera that stays in the safe confines of your glove compartment or wherever. I plan to try that, too.

for some reason...that run looked slow as hell....i guess not seeing spectators on the side + in car mount makes things seem slower than they are
You're right...it does look slow as hell. I've always thought the same thing though on other in-car drag vids. I remember watching some 10-sec runs that just didn't look fast at all compared to an out-of-car 10-sec vid.
I'm sure the Triple Carbon is awesome, but I'm not sure you could make much use of it with your setup, hah.
