has anyone bought a mount to put on the roll bar to mount a camcorder and if so where did you get it from,or is it a case of making one yourself(somehow)
cheers

Scotlad borrows his buddys one and he says its brill. 90 qui from demon thieves thou.

But no vibration on the camera even in a bec.

Think the home made ones would have to over come the problem. Some one on this forum does cameras and mounts.....

I read some where a biker got stopped and was charged for speeding on the evidence gathered on his camcorder hours before...(read it onTop Gear perhaps)..Oh and the Jap with the Countach that sold a DVD with in car footage of Very high speed on public roads and was charged on that evidence in his home made movie.


mmmmm

the camera in the car is for me to send my dad who lives in spain some footage of the car(in and out)

I reckon you could knock something up using a couple of exhaust mounting brackets around the rollbar with a plate on top and a screw to go into the camera's tripod hole. I don't know whether you could use some rubber sheet as insulation in between to isolate the vibration, this would no doubt be the biggest problem.

I'm gonna have a go at it when I'm home next (could be weeks), I'll let you know how I get on

Just to get you excited about what you can do with such a camera, try this :

i dont think vibration is a major issue as most modern cameras have a anti-shake/vibration damper built in for those shaky hand moments

Ok lads update on this home made mount.........we dun it for five quid and first test is good. Watch this space. I will post pictures tommorow. We are still looking into getting off the camera onto the computer. Advice on this bit welcome.
