New Camera Mount

UPDATED : Video from auto-x and pics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiR9ge0zhLc




Here is what I came up with. I made it out of some random parts I found around the garage. The reason I made one was for just messing around and to film auto-x and various other track events. Next Sunday I will have some video of the auto-x. Hope you guys enjoy

Roll your windows up next time...or put some music in to take care of that problem.

Oh ya, and take that camera strap off

Other than that, looks sweet

Pretty sweet man. Just roll the windows up next time and you stated you already took the strap off. It should be tight though on the track and stuff!

That's pretty good stability. Unlike the movie I made recently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4rw7uVTYeA

thinking about buying a new mount.. i think it's called the "cleat" have you looked into that one?

i personally have not looked into buying any camera mount because i figured i would give it a shot at making my own and it turned out successful. here in a little bit there will be videos from the autox today posted as soon as i edit and upload them.

Ya, all I did was weld a long bolt onto the existing bolt that was there, then drilled a hole in the cover.

I like this idea. Anyone recommend a good camera? I was looking at one at Wal-Mart the other day - It was like 400+. I don't want a DVD-R one, I want one that writes to an SD card and is small.
