Yer would go for a clamp but I am thinking of changing cars in the near future and the one I am thinking of getting doesnt have anywhere to clamp it. i.e headrests so think one of these would be more versitile

You reckon? I was basing it on the fact that it doesnt have the clamping thing on the suckion cup. Might go for no2 then as I could then stick it on the windscreen if I want aswell

Need to order one of these asap so that it arrives before coombe


cant decide which of these would be best


This one looks like a stonger mount but not as flexible

This one looks like it could give better angles and can go on the windscreen. However I am not sure if it will be as strong as the first one :boggle:

DT ones are expensive...

mine for cage - SC1 SUPERCLAMP with BALL LEVELLER, £45

Ross uses their large suction ones for moving car shots too from memory

It's not just a random lump of wood though :lol:

It'd be fixed in (if you did it properly) but mounting it on a cage (if you have one) would be better :thumbs:

Balance your camera on your head and wear a baseball cap with a hole in the front. :)

Yer the plank of wood one sounds a bit dodgy. Any idea where to get the window suckers from? Ones with the little brass screw like on trip pods would be ideal.

posted on 8th Mar 08 at 17:43

window mounts are the best, as most tracks will check them before allowing them

i cant see many track's allowing that, as it doesnt seem safe, epecially in a crash...







if you got a cage, clamp it on that with a bracket etc, or you use window sucker cam mount, if it's light :thumbs:

Looking to get to a few track days this year and would like some footage of them to remember them buy.
Ive got a sony mini dv camcorda that would be ideal but how do people attach them to their interiors? Places you can buy mounts from? Or how made contraptions? :lol:
