$8.00 camera mount FINISHED! :D

bugbbq · 09-16-2002, 08:44 PM

a couple days ago, I decided to go out and make a camera mount for my upcoming trip to Petit Le Mans.

Eight dollars, a couple trips to home depot, and a LOT of drilling later...voila!

It fits like a glove, it's ROCK solid, and it's sturdy. Very little vibrating, on bumps it tends to just sway a tad bit (thanks to steady shot).

Overall, very cool. And very fun. Best of all, I don't even know it's there...I can't even see it in the rearview.

It's even 100% Gapina approved.

Who wants one? 50 bucks each! ;-)

PS-does anyone have a utility that will convert .mov's to .mpgs? I've got video, but it comes out too large in the .mov format (using a mac with Final Cut).

I'm currently making a second one. I'll have to take pics and post them.

It's REAL easy...I mean, look at who's making it ;-)

that site gave me inspiration...

BUT...modifications must be made to that design for our cars...

we have HUGE headrest poles. and it's not easy making holes for them.
