eye eye eyeeee!

And now you're caught up :)
|
lol
indeed ;) |
Mount works great!! Used the wings nuts and just mounted to two of the headrest uprights with a 34" length. Should have a video to post soon. Gonna change the mast the camera is mounted on to about 4" and think this will give a little better view. Awesome idea though.:tiphat:

Great job on the mount! Perhaps a little rubber around the head rest post before installing the ubolts will help. Not chimming in just thowing it out there. Again nice job!:tiphat:

-Use the wing nuts on ALL the u-bolts, instead of normal 6-point nuts. That'll greatly improve how easy it is to get in and out. -Putting a little rubber on the head rest posts would definitely help a bit not only from a perspective of quieting it down (not that you get much noise in its current form anyway...), but also help ensure the bolts don't come loose. I noticed if I didnt tighten them quite a bit, just the movement of my seats during the racing would jimmy them loose. -Trim up each end so they don't extend much past the posts, just from a size perspective. Also, cap off each end with a nice plastic cap to hide the sharp, pointy edges. Other than that, Im very satisfied with it. I think the view is perfect, and combining that with my GoPro's versatility, I think I'll be set for some time :) |
Actually, I just thought of something since FastJew's post...
Shortening it to use only the 2 closest headrest posts may be a wise idea. If you use 2 posts on one side, and one on the far seat, that'll require both seats to be aligned very close to each other. If you use only 2 posts, it'll allow for the passenger to adjust the seat to his liking, and then you can adjust the camera to the bar's new position. Plans for this winter :) |
*Update*
I added a newer, better video showcasing how good the mount did during my latest HPDE. The only changes I made to the mount since then, is I shortened it so that only 2 U-bolts connect (one on each side of course), and that allowed us to move our chairs more independently. |
Nice one, I will def. be making one soon
|
Nice install :tup:
|
So today I started to make mine.
I went for the inside posts only. I used heat shrink rubber on the u-brackets followed by normal insulation tape. Here is some work in progress shots http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4105/...f8cddeb2_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/...6e70492a_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/...c7847333_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/...5116e915_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/...5d5bc638_z.jpg Next up: I am going to spray the bracket black and get some rubber material to place in the middle of the U-brackets on the alu tubing which will help with the tightening against the headrest post Tomorrow I will try and get a camera bracket to attach to the tubing. I intend to get one that I can still move up and down and sideways |
sub'd so I can have something to do over the winter
Thanks, bobo! |
Thanks MightyBobo
I have now finished mine: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/...79b5902b_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/...7bdd0b31_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/...f8864828_z.jpg The finishing with the CF vinyl could've been better, but this was my first time working with vinyl of any sort 370Z Camera Bracket - a set on Flickr |
Some bulk tubing may help reduce the vibrations....
