DIY: Cheap in-car camera mount

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

My biggest plans to improve it are:

-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
