@Kin; That monstrosity looks like something out of star trek or something  Does it have flashing lights and all?

Very creative Fey!  I think mounting them back is better though - just so you see the driver and so if you get a bit of oversteer, you see the swing of car relative to road and associated driver-traum.... I mean carefully-measured opposite lock antics

Make sure the mount to the cupholder does not come loose and we see you
coming into the pits with a camcorder stuck up your nose.

The latest camera mount offering from the Highfield workshop. It's the upgrade on last years wooden one - this time we have plastic, metal and tie-wraps!
Even managed a bit of colour instead of last years black and steel!
Patent Pending, as usual!!!

Could be less hardship for you.

all well and good, but simatic wouldn't look half as good strapped to a roll cage with the camera strapped to his head!!!
just my two cents worth...

TJ - I had a bar between the headrests last time, which now has the camera raised 4 inches above it (was too low at mondello, but raised works quite well).
Cost - €5 for the wood
Time - 20 minutes (and it shows!!!)
Tools - a drill bit (and a drill) , a measuring tape, and the top taken off a tripod and attached.

@ Simatic: you know I'd never be a car snob ... I love em all too much! Just trying to giddy you up off that couch of comfortable complacency and into the cars you know you want! Now go buy that S4 Avant!! (I meant E34 M5 Touring of course. Silly me..)

Sounds good Graham! Will start coming up with some ideas to attached it to the roll cage over the next few nights.

Compromise? Small bit of velcro? about an inch stuck to the roof and onto your buffing cloth suit! ;)

I'm not putting a roofrack on my M3... end of story.
But, in the interests of good footage Simatic, you can lie on a very large buffing cloth, and I'll close the 'leccy windows on your hands, securing to to the car roof. We'll strap the camcorder to your head.
If things start getting a bit much, don't bang the rear window with your feet; instead a gentle tap of the rooflining with your right hands fingers should suffice to let me know you wish me to slow or speed up (I'll make that determination at the time, but I reckon you'll be asking me to speed up)

Failing that we could always get a roof rack thrown on and strap you to the roof rack and the camera to you?? :)
I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem with that... might have a few problems with fly's and stuff in your teeth.... breath through your nose ;)

Cheers KenM, but I don't fancy depending on three suckers to hold down €1400 worth of camcorder with the forces produced on a track.
Thanks all the same though.
