ah yeah, i saw that thread but didn't like the idea of it being on the headrests due to vibration and seat movement. i'll go outside and take a couple pics. but i'm warning you, it's super ugly. its only advantage is how well it works.

give me a few minutes.

My mount was perfectly quiet, and vibration was not apparent at all. Mounting it to something that's a semi-direct component of the suspension would probably vibrate more, IMHO

.

I'll post up a video of my track events when I get home.

BTW, not to say yours is a BAD idea at all - just saying, the things you theorize are there, arent really there in the finished product lol.

no worries. this is my first attempt at anything like this, so in no way am i an expert at any of this. i definitely liked your mount, i just wasn't sure if it was what i wanted.

i'd love to see a video. maybe i'll post something more legal :P

thanks for not being too harsh

Rofl - Semtex posted a video of him busting like, 130 on public roads. That heathen.

I had more on my youtube that I didnt post up from my track event I went to. No granny driving around town though - thats kinda pointless/boring lol.

I have no doubt yours will work just fine though.

ah yeah, mine is nowhere near that bad (130mph), i just didn't know if the community condoned posting videos like that.

so, in that case, here is the vid: homemade camera mount test, canyon run on Vimeo ... it's not even bad. still getting used to the car (though it's not my first Z. had a 350z for 5 1/2 years before I got rear-ended a few weeks ago, and before that was a 300zx. love my Zs!)

Meh, he got knocked around a bit in the thread, but its not like he was racing anyone...and the roads were practically wide open.

Here was one of my track sessions:
