This is brilliant! Gonna have to do this if/when I get a GoPro.

Nice AK! :tup: I'm lazy, so I bought mine. LOL

RAM Mount GoPro Roll Bar Strap Mount RAM-B-149Z-2-GOP1U

Awesome!

Great job, this is on my to do list for summer trackdays.

About to pull the trigger on a camera(I do not track, but they are cool, so I want one haha) I was looking for mounting solutions, this is it. I would like if the bottom T you cut fit a tad tighter to the coupler, either a bigger T if larger reducers are available, or cut some more off each side so it is less than a half pipe...there is probably nothing wrong with it the way it is, but it would look better. if you paint the clamps and rotate the adjusters to the bottom it will look even better.

Good think my windows are tinted, im sure I will get comments all the time at the store or gas station, look at that ricer with a camera in his car haha....that will be me! It is right above the acc outlet too, will make a charge cord simple.

Like the rear view mirror is useful in our cars !

DIY FTW!

Unless you drill a hole in the housing (!), the charging port is not accessible on a GoPro.

true, but they make other housings, I don need it to be water proof in the car.

Ha... you never know.

You will still need to drill a hole. The housings are the same, the back door changes.

They do make other frames to hold the camera in that has no back to it. And it has the holes in the side for the plugs. One frame is just for the camera, and the other one is for the camera and battery pack. ;)

ya those are the ones I saw for the h3 rusty!

Good DIY. Gotta try this out for my gopro

:icon17: Yes I do! I live my life 1/4 mile at a time! lol :p


Me too. Def. didn't expect it to be this sturdy. It was basically a plan in my head that turned into reality. This could have been a total failure but ended up being awesome!


haha.. will do! Due to my profession outside the forum, I'm VERY familiar with tiny measurements like mm. But if you're serious, i can convert them and add it to the DIY.

Ahh.. didn't know about that. If I make another extension pipe or any future pvc job, I'll remember your suggestion. :tup:


Thanks man. It means a lot coming from you as you're a DIY king as well. lol I thought you knew I was the STIG already?:p



Thanks guys!

Yes I am! :tup:


Please do. No complaint from me so far. :tup:

Nothing wrong with that man. Not every one has extra time. However, looking a the pic, it looks like the mount will never reach at your eye level :(. Meaning gopro will focus on the dashboard/cubby. Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't look long enough (fyi, my mid pipe is at last 12" long). Let me know how you make out. If you don't like it, I'll help you make this diy. :tup:


Dude, get one. Even if you autox or any other sports, these camera's are great. I use it for HPDE, Autox, Go karting (indoor), Go karting (outdoor), on my bicycle, on my helmet etc. Very good camera. Money well spent.

Do it man! I'll help you if you need help

As promised guys, here's the Autox video. It held up GREAT IMO. Take a look below. As for my autox skills, I'm really new at it. I am HPDE kinda guy and autox is something I'm trying to get better. First event after year and half so I'm a little rusty. Expect a thread in the Autox section with my experience.

No complaint from the mount still. I did leave the mount in the car for a long period. So from HPDE (done in early March) to this autox (done last weekend), over month a half, the clamps loosened slightly. All I had to do it tighten them up with a screwdriver and everything was tight. No noise, swaying, vibration was noticed :tup: :tiphat: .

Mine is almost eye level, and it sits back further. Think you are right about where you want the camera to be positioned at. Just behind your head at eye level. I have one of these coming next week.

Here's a video I took the other day playing around. :D

Did this fit the roll bars properly? Your video look good with this mount.
