How To: Camera mount

Well, I remember seeing a member making a camera mount that looked something like this...

He had used a steel square shaped tube, and drilled a couple holes to fit through the headrest, then had a screw going through it upward, that fit in most camera tripod holes. a 2x2 of wood would work just as good I assume. Just push the headrest as far down as you can and it should keep the bar stable from moving.

Personally, I have found this method to be effective:

Lol, I have an iphone4, wrapped in a rubber/silicone ipfrogz case. The rubber keeps it from sliding out, and it jams in perfectly!
Video of it shoved in there:

If you have any other type of mounts, post them up, and some info on how you did it.

Picture of a picture? Lol I can do that if you want, or I can just get a picture of it.


I wanted this thread to be more of a "show off your camera mount" but let us know how you did it. So if you guys are using something else, let us know!

Make sure and state your intentions at the beginning.

If not, threads have a way of taking a mind of their own.

Yeah, you may have been the person I referenced to in the first post. Lol. Looks great. Perfect if you have a real camera.
Iphone doesn't have a tripod mount, yet :/ Lol

I always worry about suction cup mounts falling. I've seen it happen too many times, especially in racing. That why I chose to make the headrest mount that I did. After making it though I found this: Products - CruiseCam. I'm sure it works just as well as what I made. I just spent less making it than I would have buying it.

I would only trust a suction cup like that inside the car. Lol

I use a JVC Everio with a headrest mount that I made that's similar to the Race Mount. The go pros are great, but I don't have the expendable funds right now to buy a sports specific camcorder right now and I always worry about them falling off since I've seen it happen so much in autocrossing even though I know they're tough enough to handle the fall. Usually the ones that fall people just pic up and put back on their car.
