headrest camera mount

[accordkid16]

I didn't know where to put this so i'm posting it here. i was watching some street racing videos and they were all garbage because of poor camera man skills. I saw visualpoets(i think) mini camcorder taped to his sunglasses which isn't a bad idea but it gave me an idea. Get a long flat piece od steel and drill 2 holes in it the size of the head rest poles and weld a bolt that fits into the bottom of your camera onto the end and screw your camera onto it and you will have a shake free camera mount. i made a scetch.



I will try making one in school sometime this week or next week and take a picture and post it.

you don't have to drill through the headrest slide the headrest up and out od the seat line the poles of the headrest with the mount and stick the headrest back into the seat.

I see what you want to do, sounds like a real good idea.

Basically lift the head rest up, slid the stand in,... and wallah.

Smart.

I made something similar. You can see by my vids on here that it works extremely well.

Also, I don't think your idea is going to support the camera and its weight firmly enough to work effectively.

If you can find and old or broken tripod, use that mounting head and mount that on the tube/bar. That way you have the option of positioning the camera in any direction you want. Also, use some rubber spacers to absorb some of the shock.
