In Car Camera Mount

Someone on here wanted videos of the punto so got me thinking how can this be done so...

For those of use who dont have rollcages.

Remove front passengers headrest.

Take one broom handle and cut to about a foot long, and drill two holes in one end so that the legs of the headrest can pass through them.

Drill a thrid hole on the opposite end and pass a bolt through to mount the camera via the tripod adaptor.

Refit headrest so that it traps the broom handle between the seat and headrest.

Press record.

Needs to be tweeked a little as its a little annoying rattle (not the fiat build quality) as I didnt have the right bolt so the camera was a little loose.

Happy with the results, wil be good for the trackday this weekend.



P.S. to the mods - didnt know what forum to put this in, its kinda grande punto related

P.P.S All footage is road legal - no fannying about

Re: In Car Camera Mount

That's one way to do it, but wouldn't it be easier just to have a passenger hold the camera?

It looked like you were really moving in a few sections
