pics attached. Sorry so crappy, another late night for me so I had to take the pics in my garage

The camera mount is fully adjustable and locks into place with my custom wing nut haha. Basicallly it's a bolt with a square piece of steel welded to it.

I used it again this weekend in Fortwayne. I also took their trophies as wel LoL . I was going to sell it because I figured someone didn't have the time to make one or the interest so I would just sell mine... I hit a few cones that day it was one of the first times I have done so poor. the fortwayne event I did awesome until i started getting anxious to push the car so I hit two cones. If you want the camera to be out side the car turn the camera around and flip the bar to hang out side the window.

Damn I would be afraid for losing the camera if it is outside of the car. Isnt it possible that the bolt that holds the camera to the mount ends of getting lose and droping the camera?

My camera has an arm band, So I will take the arm band and put it around the bar so if it does fall the band will catch it.

I have had a mount like this for about 3 years. But I have two bars instead of one. It's a bit more solid to me and it holds my video camera.

Works like a champ.

^^ i already made him one and mailed it to him....today actually.

if anyone wants one made, let me know....I have a garage full of tools and its my nature to build/make things...lol..

I have already had a bunch of PM's requesting this and i dont mind - seems to be quite a few members that do not own tools or are pressed for time which i understand..... this was not my intention in making a "DIY" hence "do it yourself" thread....

but i dont mind helping out, so long as you are patient with me in build and ship time...etc..lol...wife gets mad if i spend too much time in the garage...
