Can you make a mount out of PVC that goes between the headrest's? That's what they're doing in the 3's.

The camera shifted a lot, so that part had the most 'road' in the frame lol .. I'll look and see if i can find another clip..

hehe imagine my neck having to edit it all

I was back a ways from the road, the camera made it look a lot closer, even if that car did an emergency stop, they wouldn't have stopped in front of me by the time I'd decided to go.. its all good

I did consider using gum to stabalize it mcGuyver style .. for about 1 second ..

Thats what I was thinking of going for.. or a PVC mount that mounts to the passenger seat... in the end tho, I found an official suction cup camera mount that screws into the cam, so it shouldn't shift anymore.. i will be able to film from the back window to get the shifts, or the front windows for nothing but road (better for a cruise)..

they do make camera mounts for track use as well. I've seen them advertised in Grassroots Motorsports. I mention it because you've talked about doing some track stuff.

yeah, I ran into those, most of the track use ones basically clamp to your roll cage, which I won't get (adds too much weight) ..
One of the coolest rigs is on this site: http://www.filmtools.com/carmounts.html
but its too much money right now

The windshield suction cup thing will work, the suction isn't the problem, it was my using a string to tie the camera to a gps mount, the camera shifted in the string.. so a screw-in mount suction cup will do the job I think.. I'm gonna find out

I know there are other ones that work on the track without the roll cage. PM devildog1679 for info on the one he used. He was using it at a track day at autobahn back in May. I also have a friend with a M3 that has a mount. If you'd like, I can contact him to get the info on it. I know neither one of them have roll cages.
