I've been using this bad boy for a while now. Works pretty well considering. Thought I'd share.

Consists of a cheap tripod, a piece of velcro, and a napkin.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but the camera's strap holds one side, and the napkin keeps it from banging against the headrest.

 

lol

 

acutally i think a piece of wood with a couple holes for the head rest and a bolt to mount the camera to would be cheaper than that small tripod

 

Probably so, but that sounds like a lot of effort. I already had this stuff. Didn't cost me a penny. This is quick, and easy. It stores in the glovebox easily too. It's not going to impress anyone but it took better video footage than my friend's $150 setup. (His camera's video sux0r) Considering I use this 0.5% of the time I figure that's $150 better spent on some other upgrade.

I'd seen a lot of the home-made mounts on the net. All were way too much work, or required a drill press.

btw, the tripod was $10 iirc.

 

i wish my seats has space for something ghetto rigged like that

 

I like mine better. Just as cheap (the gimble mount can be expensive, but its worth it) using a bolt, two nuts and a cylindrical washer for $.25 and it doesnt rattle or make noise or do much of any moving

 

Yep, you're right... this only cost me free.99

lol... as long at the passenger seat stays still...


my $30 experiment:



$25 is the camera mount itself.... lolllllllllll

 

not cheap but better video



this mount also looks pretty good

All reasons not to get into the car camera mount business

 

Those vacucams look cool. I could definately see spending some money on that.

 

can you give me more detail on that setup, i would like one exactly like it.

thanks

 

What kind of Impreza do you have?

Basically, theres a little tab on my 95 that pops off in the back there that has a nut with a hole under it thats welded to the frame. I used a bolt for the gimble mount and then used two nuts to hold the bolt in place and just screw the gimble mount on.

 

that chase cam looks like a pritty sweet set up

 

I like the chase cam, I would like to pick up a small cam like that. I have been using my I/O port racing camera mount for years and it's been great. Folds up and fits in the glovebox, yet holds my last 3 cameras just fine. Sticks to the back window or wherever of any car, and has never let me down. Amazingly vibe free as well for just one suction cup.
