Is there some way you guys are using to mount a video camera to the c-pillar bar?

I have a c-pillar bar, and would like to use my camera mount there - but it looks like the only way to do it would be to drill a hole in it?

Isn't there some kind of clamp that would work on the c-pillar bar?

 

the ioport camera mount comes with the clamp...

i'm assuming your's is not the ioport one...
perhaps you can provide a picture of your particular one? that would help

 

Go to a camera store and get a Bogen Super Clamp

 

Ioport camera mount works great with my c- pillar bar.

here, it is the same clamp IO port sells for 100$, but it has a very heavy duty C-clamp which allows it to be moved easily. I use it in autoX with a Sony DVR and it works awesome, doesnt move at all.

I have this also and it works great. Never had a problem with it coming loose and it is solid that in an unfortunate accident it should not move. Expensive, but well worth it.

 

goto bhphoto.com and buy the super clamp

I live in the city and bought the camera mount from the actual store. I like it because it is easy to remove and fits many diameters and costs about $40.

 

Best bet is just to by a 20 dollar tripod and throw that in the car

 

I tried the tripod in the back seat, but it didnt work that well. Then I made this for under $20 from Home Depot. A toggle bolt has the same thread as most camera's, so bolt it from underneath. It is sturdy as hell, it will not move at all. I used it in all my in car videos.
