Camera Mount
Looking for a video camera and mount for autocross use any suggestions? Inexpensive would be nice. I would like to mount it to the sunroof, passenger sunvisor, or passenger seat.

If you are going to do the in car/out car video thing make it easy on yourself. Buy a bullet cam setup and keep your "expensive" camcorder somewhere safe inside the car. The bullet cams are lightweight and can be stuck virtually anywhere on the car, even the side of your helmet if you like and have the right suction cup. I've used the Chasecam bullet cam setup for a few years now on the track with fantastic results. I believe its the first package listed here:

For a sampling of what I've filmed using the bullet cam (w/my ancient Sony analog camcorder) go here (look for Crispy clips):

and the three at the bottom of the page probably that best show what a bullet cam can do:

I used some aluminum channel I had laying around the shop and made a nifty one that mounted on the stock rear strut bar. Placed some neoprene around the strut bar to keep it from marking up the plastic cover. Mounted my old camcorder on it and worked great!
Price - free! If I would of had to buy the material would have cost less than $20. If interested, I can post a photo when I get home.

If you want an SCCA/NASA legal mount, I would look here: http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant...gory_Code=IOPP
It's a great piece and I prefer the in-car over the driver's shoulder perspective anyway.

Here ya go. I realize it looks getto, but it worked really well. To move it up or down, I just tighten one wingnut more than the other. No noticable vibration on the video. I did discover that if you try to focus out too far in front of the car, it becomes a good recipe for car sickness by just watching the video.
Alum. channel is 2" od and about 1 5/8 id, which fit the strut bar perfectly with a little neoprene behind it.

That looks simple enough and easy enough to jsut go out and try. I think I am going to give a shot and if I am not happy then order a expensive one. It's cheap enough to just give a try.
thanks
