Here's some pictures of my diy camera mount. I thought some of you would be interested in this since I know a lot of you autox and canyon carve. It's a cheap alternative yet very effective. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything bad that happens if something bad happens. Enjoy.
Here's pretty much what you need. Bolt and washer size is 1/4", length depends on how thick your bar is. I got my bar off an old bike rack that I never use. Real sturdy, make sure yours is too.
I took the camera mount off my old tripod.
You need to drill holes so the bar can go onto the headrest.
Dont forget the hole for the mount.
Install bar like this. Everything should be even.
Screw the camera mount with the bolt and washer. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
Nice huh?
That's right.
Here it is with my old camcorder mounted.
Nice and even, sorta. Nothing an adjustable camera mount can't change.
My power inverter I use for the camera. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and I plug my camera into that. No worries of batteries going dead during my long canyon drives.
JDM approved! Whatever that means.
