Hi all,

Thought i'd share a very cheap and easy way to mount a video camera in-car.

Get a joby gorrilapod for about £30 from Amazon (the bigger one).

Pull back the back seat a bit and wedge 2 of the gorrilapods legs in.

Wrap both seatbelts round the 3rd leg..

Then the camera screws onto the gorrilapod

A still picture of footage taken

Will find out tomorrow if it'll be allowed on track but it's a solid enough mount i think!

It's good to get the camera as far back as poss unless you have a wide angle lens. Perfect position for a skyline

Cheers all,
Sam

Looks like a good position. The trouble I find with camera mounted up front is that you never get to see how you are driving which kind of defeats the point of an onboard camera on the track to use for improvement purposes.

It will be interesting to see how that handles the vibrations.

might be an idea to see whats available off the shelf... I use B Hague. Good price and service.

ha ha ha I am sure that won't meet FIA regulations for a camera mount LOL

Camera and mount have been checked and passed at Brands... If you were a jew applying for a visa to germany in 1940 you'd have about as much front as i had going to the brands staff with my camera mount.. It still passed:thumbsup:

Ps that's what the brands staff are like!

looks good, works really well with no vibration which kills most set ups.
