Show us your camera mount. Did you buy it? If so, Where? I'm wanting to mount a camera inside the Alien for my next trip. I was thinking about building one.

I don't have a mount on my car.

But on Top Gear they use suction cup mounts for the windshield, and often also have a bar across the B pillars with a camera on a pipe mount.

Some of the mounts on the market are really strong, and have mounts on the suction surface which warn you when suction is getting low.

I used a universal satellite radio mount with a suction cup. just drill a hole in the base of it large enough for a 1/4-20 bolt...which will screw right into a camera base! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

..you should be able to build that by RRC! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Alright, this system is a little closer than what's been posted so far, but not as stock as you wanted. Using an I O Port to mount a HD camera. Digital recorder W/16GB storage mounted in front trunk and Garmin GPS antenna which gives GPS location and speed. Also a signal harness to show when I apply brakes. Working on a inertia sensor for four way axes. Made for mobile application. Go to the Paddock and AX/Track video to see sample video. I sell them......Testing the system in my car....Cops aren't the only ones with in car video!!!!

If you have a Pep Boys near you they have a camera that is in an enclosed waterproof case you can mount just about anywhere. It goes for about $200 and you would need to get a 2 gig SD card to record any great length. website http://www.goprocamera.com/

I have a Weltmeister Harness Bar in my car with an I/O Port Camera Mount between my seats. The point of view is over my shoulder and out the front window. Total cost was about $200+ if you pay retail for everything...

This is the one I made before WCR 2009. About $30.00 in parts.

This is similar to the glass carrier I bought but I believe I paid $14.99 for mine. Link to suction cup carrier.

On the top of the T bracket I put rubber weather striping to helg dampen the vibration. The rolled T shirt with electrical tape on it is used to mount under the T bracket to also dampen the vibration.

We mounted a camera to the rollbar in a speed record car at the Bonneville salt flats this weekend. (Yes, it's upside down - we'll flip the footage in post.)

I was thinking it would be cool if you could flip the camera over so the passenger could check the video in the viewing screen. Our camera screen will flip over and lay flat against the camera viewing screen out..

I like that idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
