    Default I made a Video camera mount.

    Made this puppy for some onboard action.

    I'll be posting a series on "How NOT to Autocross" hosted by ME!





    Lets get AWESOME!

    See the wing nut/screw in the back? That tightens up to the post on the head rest.

    I'm sure they'll be some PG13 language when I hit a cone!

    You'll love the turn by turn you've come to expect from an "AllanAllan"!!! Fuck a tomtom!

    Depending on how much your camera/mount assembly weighs you might have issues with it pivoting on the headrest post. Most people just use some u-bolts with some longer stock and attach to both headrest posts and then have the mount stick out in between the front seats. Another thing that might help would be to put the headrest as far down as possible to clamp the mount inbetween the headrest and the top of the seat.

    I used to use this guy back when I gave a shit, still have it if you want to check it out at the next event just remind me to bring it. http://www.powrgrip.com/cgi-bin/powr...vacuummounts=1

    if it starts to swing at all you could just copy ECS's camera mount-

    I used a wing nut/bolt thing so I have a good ammount of clamping force onto the 1 post.
    I've tested it and it doesn't swing around. YAY!!!
