Video Camera Mount
Can anyone point me in the direction of something to mount a video camera to my roll bar?
I did search, but could not find it.

These guys seem to be "the daddy" when it comes to camcorder mounts: -

Suction mounts, gripping mounts etc.

Hmm think I'd want something a little more substantial than that for hooning around a track. Not bad for 7 squids though.

too! Brilliant and solid piece of kit. Will grip upto 2" tube!

For a bullet cam it's perfect. A lad on PH used it at VMax. 150 mph with a bulletcam and it was solid.

Looked Neds thread. Expensive when you trash a digital camera! There never was an answer there about vibration.
I suppose one of the kids could do it
Best not put them on the bonnet though

Scaffolding clamps

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ned - when you say Camcorder, do/did you mean the new DVD cam's or the tape one's. I have got a DVD one and wouldn't think about
putting that on anything which could sustain vibration. For car recording we use an old DV Tape one - the older one's seem to have more
substance to them. Just a thought...

it was a mini-dv based panasonic machine hellfire. from the way the signal broke up its almost certainly nakered the record/playback heads. the chump
in jessops said it might have been the ccd, but then he couldn't tell me which models had mic or analogue inputs so i didnt' belive a word
he said...
