Camera Mounts

JoosyJoos · 11-05-2009, 11:29 AM

Just wondering what kind of camera mounts everyone is using while driving at the track. Some of them are ridiculously priced and I might go out and custom fab one of my own. Just wondering if there's a better alternative rather than wedging it in a headrest.

I use the CruiseCam..but apparently they dont sell them anymore. Mounts to driver or passenger headrest posts.

CruiseCam will start selling the mounts again soon. They just secured financing to produce them.

I was going to get a cruiseCam, but I couldn't find one. I ended up making one myself, and I am very happy with it. It took me about 3 trips to the hardware store to get all the right bolts/nuts/washers to work with the mini tripod head that I picked up at Target.

I followed a random guide online, and I paid about $20-25 in parts. I did have a drill press at home, which made it easy to drill the holes in the square tubing.

BTW, BMWCCA doesn't allow suction cup camera mounts. Only matters if you plan on doing their events.

I have seen some home made cruise cam style mounts that are very good.

We should get together and design, build, and market one.

Hmmm...substitute products and solutions and limited market are scary.

I was sorta considering it actually... on a relatively small scale anyway.
