Default How I mounted my camara using a tri-pod

I was going to use polys thread to post this but other people asked me to take pics a wile ago, so here you go,easy,fast and full controle of were you want it to shoot

First pic, you can see i mounted one of the poles between the glove box and passenger side seat, the other 2 poles are just to set the hight..the pole between the seat keeps it in place

Second pic, you can see i mounted the 2 poles on the seat,and the other pole i put between the seat and the door

And this does stay in place, the video i took with this set up i was doing about 70km/h around a sharpe on-ramp and as you can see it didnt even move, you can put some clothes around the poles that are mounted between the seats to add some more stiffness if you want
**heres a video when I tested it out

i did a similar thing with my tripod cept i put it in the back seat. i tied it down with the seat belts in the back and it held it pretty well. hopefully ill be able to make a mount for my c-pillar bar so i can get some video when racing

heres the crappy lil vid i got..

nope its not close at all, its right in the middle kinda just behind the glove box...and you can more it back more if your worried

Edit* ahhh ic why you were saying that forty.. the passenger side seat is as far back as it can go and its put down alot, almost like you were going to go to sleep lol,thats why it looks like you would hit your head,driving my seat is up way more

aahhh ok, that makes sense then

Hope you don't mind me jacking, but I thought I'd post an alternative method of mounting a camera.

I saw your post a few days ago and figured I would give it a try. My goal was to make it for as little as I could.

Aluminum scap -- Free, found it in the dumpster at school.
Bolt -- Free, had one laying around that worked great.
Wingnut -- 25 cents.

Here you go.





Here is the short vid I did. I had the settings on the camera too small so sorry for that. VIDEO
