I've always wanted to show people what it is like inside the car during an autoX plus maybe figure out what I'm doing wrong while driving. Anybody else have one?



I need to get a pillow ball mount for the camera to sit on. The cheapest one I've found in town is thirty bucks? I need to look online for something cheaper. Here's the link I used to make it.

Cant have one in my car...the head rest dont go up

 

yeah what's up with the headrest? mine only goes up one notch, about half an inch. how useless.

btw, what stunts you planning on filming?

 

 

Put it on with the headrest on the car? It might be tougher but you can probably do it. Why can your headrest go up?

 

So where do you mount the camera and you think we could mount that to the GSR for one run. BADASS. I'm so pumped for Sunday I'm going to push my GSR to the limits. Hopefully the snow want get in our way.

 

yea, we could just switch headrests for a run! If you want? I want to see you push the car for once

 

awesome we'll do it. BTW I drove the GSR home tonight at 10:30 from work in that blizzard and I was kinda suprised on how well the dunlops did. But the roads were wet not snow packed.

 

that looks like what Minty Dip *I THink* had on his car...

 

Just wait until the roads get snow packed, those tires will suck bad on it.

 

 

i know a couple of guys that went this same route instead of buying one. they work great.

 

yee thats nice good idea

 

Yeah I used to have one mounted on the driver side of the dash. I'm getting an Autopower race roll bar though, and that's how most people mount them. That is a really good idea though.

 

I cant not even get my headrest up...but it doesnt matter, I have a roll bar in my car I can mount my camera on

 

That's cool, Aaron.

I want to mount a camera in my front air dam... The current plan is to take a QuickCam (I have one already), enclose it in a custom clear plastic box, attach it in the air dam at the center, and connect it to my laptop which will somehow be secured somewhere in the car (I need to find a SCCA legal solution for this). I think I can only get 10-15 fps out of that camera and it's B&W, but if the rest of the idea works out, I'll get a faster color camera since they're so cheap nowadays. I finally have a garage now, so I'll have a convenient place and plenty of opportunity to experiment with crazy ideas such as this. I hope to have something set up by the next autocross...

 

i just tore apart an old tripod. drilled two holes and i was done.

ROAD HEAD CAM

 

After testing the camera mount out last weekend at an autocross, I was impressed with the mount. I thought it was going to be too stiff and not have any suspension for the camera. I thought that the picture was going to be very jumpy and not good but it was the other way around. I highly recommend this mount to anybody that wants some good race footage!

Will you be hosting any vids soon?

 

tight... make some videos and enjoy the show.

 

how exactly do you guys mount the camera to the bar?

 

that looks really good and perfesionally made. good work Volcom. post some vids online if possible... let us know how things work out.

 

My mount is hardly professionally made but thanks for the complement. I will take some picutres of it to show everyone. I will also take a picture to show you how to mount the camera.
