Default How to make Video Camera Mount

Anyone know how to make this? I remember someone made one of these, using a bar that connects to the passenger seat. I tried the search function, but no luck.

Thanks.

Someone named YodaIsGod built this...

NOTE: The bolt you see where the mount is is gonna be replaced to day. It's a bit loose.

The bars were $5.37 ea at Home Depot for 36" in length.
Camera mount was on sale for $19.97 (Reg $37.99)

Side view #1 headrests down

Side view #2 headrests up

That would work great. However I got 5th gen seats and not sure how I could connect the bar across my seats? Thanks for the pics though.

if you have a bulky camera, you could just stuff it inbetween the headrest and seatback...that would be some good in-car footage :envisions camera angle as it flies out of the seat and tags driver in head :

maybe something that is more of an upright design(coming up from the armrest/ebrake area) with some lateral bracing against the seatbacks could work. safety first though...nothing like getting speared by a long piece of broken aluminum box stock.

instead of having the actual camera mount, you could just drill a hole in the support bar and screw in a bolt through that into the tripod mounting hole of the camera. Save yourslrf 20 bucks.

hahaha.....I remember that thing.

I have to build a new one for the IS. I think I'm going to go a different route this time. I even have a video camera now.

Another person used u-clamps to attach to his headrest posts instead of using the posts like other cars have. Just clamp to the funky headrest posts in 5th gens.
