HAHA, i knew it was a matter of time before someone tells me that idea...i actually have the same thought when I designed it...but I did it all last night and I didn't have time to put that feature in...at the same time, I couldn't wait to post it up. So yea....that's pretty much the only thing missing. I guess I should have spent more time designing the brackets instead of drawing up the flip video camera to detail. I don't even have a flip!!! I'm planning on having this bracket designed in a way so anyone with any digital camera can simply mount it to their car....so I should probably make it more flexible for that as well as letting it swivel.

By the way, you can already twist it from left to right because the screw under the camera allows for that.
