i use a full size video camera and now am using a mini DV which would most likely add to the bounce that is experienced through PVC tubing.

I watched the vid, and it seemed pretty smooth:

Of course the camera is very light as I said before so a heavier cam would be screwed.

yep, maybe adding a length of PVC to prop it against the back seat may help too...

It would pick up more road vibration and any bump would be magnified through the rest of the frame.
