I heard you can use a piece of aluminium and drill two holes for the head rest and put a screw on then just screw the camcorder on...

anyone done somehting like this?


Sorry my explaination is weak

 

I was looking for something like this a while ago.
They sell something similar. I had heard people have trouble with the vibration. I would think this would be a problem, since you're putting a camera on an arm, then attaching it to an even longer arm (the seat back) before you get to rigidly mounted components (the seat bottom).

I took of my rear strut cover trim and there are some holes in it. There are also some tapped holes in the trunk compartment and on top of the divider once you take the trim out.

I was trying to do something last year using the holes for the child seat anchor bracket (there's a similary one on the drivers' side, but no bracket...it's also a different thread) and the tapped hole for the spare tire. Figured I could make a bipod over the seat anchor holes, use a long support arm back to the spare tire hole to make it a tripod, then use webbing to crank it tight to the rear strut brace (or down to floor). Never came together though. I wound up buying a helmet-cam, which I think worked great. Still like to get a fixed mount though, just ran out of time and ideas.

uwaeve

 

i used my rear wiper arm to make a mount. its aluminum btw.

 

Just get the Chase Cam suction cup mount. I love that thing and there is no vibration.

 

where would i get that?

i dont want to spend like a hundred bucks ...
thus i am thinking about DYI...
:\
the suction kit with base only is 25 dollars...

 

yeah... i think drilling a couple holes and putting a screw in is definately less than buying one of those things

 

But with the suction cup mount you can move it for different angles and also put it on the outside of the car.

 

which kit are you talking about...
i dont think the base one can do that...
(25 dollars)
baby steps for me please ^^

This one is $40. I can't find the $25 one....

 

Do you have one on your car?
Because I dont know if this thing can hold a miniDV camera for a prolonged period of time?
Just trying to clarify some doubts
thx!

 

yeah I use it all the time. Somewhere on that website is a picture of that suction cup mount with a 75 lb. weight hanging from it. I will try and find it.

 

I dont think im interested in something outside the car ...
but then it can be mounted anywhere..
the reason im trying to do it because insurance doesnt cover any racing accidents unless and only unless yo have proof of an instructor being there then its driving lesson accident which insurance does cover

 

I personally haven't used it outside of the car, but I have a few friends who do. I usually mount it to the inside of my windshield or on the inside of the hatch window.

 

yeah im just trying to cover my *** incase... you know something happens (i dont recall me being the best driver)
lol

 

The video in the thread linked below was taken on the outside of the car with the same mount...

wow... thats really cool!

 

IMO its well worth the $40. Especially since you don't have to drill anywhere.

 

Get a length of 2x1 wood stick. (Hockey stick work).

Drill 2 holes to match the headrest support.
Drill 1 hole to fit the mounting screw to your cam.

Drive,
Go back home,
Get popcorn and pops,
Enjoy…
