Camera Mount

[Damonski]

A cheshire group recently did some lanes around buxton and it was mentioned that we should get a video camera mounted on the passengers handle (300 series disco)

Im wondering if anyone has already attempted such a mount and could possibly share there mounting blueprints :)

Cheers!

I often use a small mp4 recorder mounted on a small tripod, cant think of the name of it but got it from blacks. Has velcro attatched to it that allows fastening to round/square objects. Prob wouldnt work with large camcorder but would with some of the smaller stuff around now.

With a bit of luck Paul will be about later.
He has a mount that fits on a grab handle.

It's pretty good.

And as if by magic he apears. :D

I've got a nice cam clamp that fits to the grab handle.

Picked mine up from here: http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htm

I bought mine from a local camera shop. It's basically a fancy G Clamp with telescopic height adjustment along with tilt and pan. Cost me £60 but it's a well made piece of kit.
I was slightly miffed to find a budget version in Maplins for £9.99  :(mad):

[Damonski]

Thanks all. That one of Pauls looks like just what is needed :)

Maplins is a dangerous place, I always come out with much more than I need.  Its sort of a local version of VWP  :lol:

On my old 200 i mounted the top part of a tripod to the handle using hose clips.
Did the job!

I use this suction camera mount, it's made it through 2 Belgium Nationals and 2 trips round Langdale's Apline course without coming off so must be quit good.  

It is a wee bit on the expensive side, but good quality and can be mounted on the roof, bonnet, windows, doors...............  

It's at the bottom of this page.  :D

Wow there are some flash bits of kit available!

[Budgie]

Flash prices as well!!
I think they supply the TV & film industry with it's kit, hence the prices.  :roll:

Cheap and cheerful, but did the job..

what ever happened to the good old days of using just electrical tape or gaffa tape!!!!!

[Slimer]

I use one of these

combined with one of these

It'll clamp onto most things and at any angle

A word of warning on the suction ones....  they're very good but don't leave them stuck on a window on a hot sunny day, the black rubber concentrates the heat and can cause the glass to crack

Here is what I use for inside shots with a DV cam

The same rig as used on Top Gear

And the Mini waterproof cam for outside shots in the mud

Just taken another photo of the rig used on the handle



oh and by the way its just started snowing here  :lol:
