I am looking for pictures and thoughts related to camcorder mounts. either really cheap or diy
I have an accord coupe and I must leave my reae seat up to attach my harness or it messes with the angle.

I've been using this. It works well, and cost less than $30 to make in ~30 minutes.

 

Same with me. But I used a luggage strap around the passenger seat (verticle) to hold it steady, and a Quick Clip around the bar and my camcorder (just incase). I also have a wide angle lens for my Digital8 camera.

 

Here's a pic:

 

I cannot find the actual camera mount to bolt on the arm

 

most people use the bogen 3025 3d head. Its the same head used on the I/O Port camera mount.

is one of the better prices I have seen.

who needs to get off his *** and order one

 

or you can use a plain old ball head - as described on the hybrid instructions.

 

I made a camcorder/camera mount for my Tacoma - fits in the bed and can be moved anywhere from right behind the cab to the tailgate. Works well but I might come up with a better one made of aluminum tubing to get it just above the cab looking a little down for a nice view.

 

Guys thanks for the qick response. this is exacly that I was looking for.

 

haha, how ghetto do you mind being? Last year at Nationals, my camera mount was ~5 zipties

I put the camera on the tripod and stuffed the legs of the tripod into the map pocket on the back of the passanger seat. Then ziptied the camera itself to the headrests. Actually worked out pretty well. Very little vibration.

 

How stable is it? How much does it move around or shake?

 

I built a mount that hung from the sunvisor and trangulated the OS handle on the passenger side. Not so good for passengers, rock solid for the camera.

I have since sold it, though I can give you guys instructions on building if you're interested.

 

I just got my Bogen 3025 in the mail. The thing is a tank, its extremely well built. Cant beat it for under $30 shipped

now its time to build something to clamp it to
