Well, I'm getting a video camera for christmas and I'm looking for different ways to mount it. I'm considering just getting the cruisecam setup and attaching it to the passenger headrest. I wanted to find out if anyone had any suggestions for other methods/products or any feedback on the cruisecam.

The cruisecam is cheap enough that I'm not really considering making my own mount unless I can make something superior to the cruisecam.

The camera has image stabilization, but I'd still like as stable a mounting point as possible.

 

how heavy is the camera?

im using a ChaseCam 3 cup suction cup mount with my little Canon SD400 digi cam. i've mounted it just about everywhere on my car without problems. about 17 autox events and a rallyx event(went thru hell there lol) and it's held up without problem.

Its a little panasonic minidv. Weight with a tape should be just over 1lb.

I like this one : http://soloperformance.com/Sho....aspx

Looks like the cruisecam that I was looking into : http://www.cruisecam.com/mounts.html

My only concern with a suction cup mount is if I could get a good viewing angle. Don't want my helmet or instructors obscuring things.

 

it can be placed just about anywhere, insted of always right by the head rest.

just some vids of different places i've put it

Good looking vids. I think I might have to go with something that I can get closer to the center of the car. I do hpde events so if I strap the camera to the outside of the window, it might not be there at the end of the session
