www.conecam.com should have some interesting things...
Anyways, when I go hotlapping or autocrossing, I use a ghetto camera mount consisting of a traditional camera tripod, the rear seat belts, and some rope. It's 0230hrs right now, and I'm too sleepy to type the details, but I'll try to find pics of my ghetto mount.

hey guys, i've don't have any experience with any camera mounts in cars... but thinking about it... i think i have a solution, you take a pipe/bar, drill two separate holes the width of the head rest support, slide in a U-bolt, crank down some nuts, and repeat for the other headrest... would that not work?

Well, my ghetto setup works well, no vibration. It's free, and easy to set up and take down. It passed tech at SCCA Solo2, and at the Hybrid Track Days and other hotlapping events I've driven in. I'm gonna have to take some pics because it looks so funny...it ridiculously works!
That said, I can only get one camera angle, and that's from the back seat looking out the windshield...does that company you're referring to have a website? The footage I want to do include footage of the pedals and shifter and dash (a la Option videos), as well as in the fender well (to see the suspension and tires working) and other shots from outside the car. I know Cone Cam can do what I want, but I dn't know if the resolution will be up to par.

Anyway. I ran the setup yesterday at the autocross and it was SOLID! The videos were great and you can hear me talking to my students too on my fun runs. No bouncing or shaking at all. I do want to move the camera back though cause you couldn't see my hands on the steering wheel or the tach/speedo and more of the course.
