In car camera guys.. where do you mount it? Aside from the cage (don't have one yet) where do you mount your camera? I wanted to get a vid of my tach and maybe me shifting. I have a digi cam and thought about getting a tripod and straping it down but I don't think it will hold. Just want to hear what other have done. Thanks. -Mark

I've seen tripod in front seat, front floor, back hump. Guys have used straps, duct tape, tie wraps, seat belts ect.
Just don't expect rock steady unless you figure a good sturdy way to mount it.

I followed these instructions. I shortened the tubing and only attach it to the driver's headrest though. Drilled a hole through the end of the tube at approximately the middle of the car and used a wingnut screw through the bottom to attach the camcorder to the top.

if you solid mount the camera, be careful. Some models will black out from the g forces.

I just bought a standard type tripod and put it behind the roll cage and used HD tiewraps to secure it to the cross bar. I got the idea from "Wildthing" here. It works and it's cheap.
