Just thought I would share the carbon fiber mount I made. Not sure if anyone has made one like this or not. I got my idea from looking at another forum DIY headrest camera mount: Build thread / How to.. - page 1 - Random Chat - MK5 Golf GTI

First here are some pics of the mount:

I got the various parts needed from home depot, ebay and amazon.

You will need:

1 x Carbon fiber rod : Amazon.com: ARRIS 3K Roll Wrapped 100% Pure Carbon Fiber Tube 23mm*25mm*500mm(2PCS) Glossy Surface: Toys & Games

1x GoPro bar mount:Amazon.com : Oumers Bike Handlebar Mount Motorcycle Seatpost Pole Mount Bicycle Mount Roll Bar Mount with Long Screw for Gopro HD, Hero 4, Hero 3+, Hero3, Hero 2, Hero HD, GoPro Camera accessories : Camera & Photo

2x plastic end caps (I have a bunch of spares PM me if you want some): 8 Pcs Black 25mm Dia Blanking End Caps Covers Tube Insert Bung | eBay

2x small U Bolts

2x Wing nuts

Everything is really easy to make and the only hard part is drilling the holes through the carbon tube so they line up perfectly on both sides. Luckily I found an article that shows how to drill a tube without a drill press. Very good tip since I ruined my first carbon tube. Tech Tips: Drill a Hole in a Pipe Without a Drill Press | Radio magazine

Here is a sample vid that I made with my Virb XE using the mount and an OBDII reader. Hope you guys enjoy.
