Suggestions for camera mount.
 

For a while now I have been looking for a good way to mount a camera in my 370z. Right now I am looking for one that will work with a Contour HD.

I am looking for something that will be able to mount so the physical camera's position is around where the cruisecam I had mounted:

The problem; however, is that the head rest mounts do not really work good in the 370z due to the whiplash protection which makes the head rest wiggle too much (not enough stability, too much jitter in the video).

I am looking for a different mount now. My daily video taping of when I am driving has been on hold for a while because of lack of a good mount but I am going to a track in a few weeks for event at work (a few other co-workers will also be going) so I wanna get a proper mount before that.

Good luck. I use this:

put some spacers (rubber hoses) on the mount and that should stop the vibration. I use the same thing on my contour mount, let me know if you need a video or pictures

Thanks Mt Tam I am

I ended up basically using one of those (I really only needed the ball end for the contour HD). I actually used the one I got due to the suction cup being in better condition but I used the extension I had on my other one (which ended up not working good for my other camcorder) to have a little bit control of the shot I got.

In the end I am pretty happy with it but there is still some slight vibration (possibly from the extension arm) but much better than it was before.

Here is some pictures. Kind of hard to see with the glare on the first one and the fact it was a taken with my phone's camera =(. The first one is from outside and the second one is from the passenger seat inside:

Best camera angle I have found for my GoPro is exactly where you have yours mounted but outside and looking over the roof line down thw hood. Nice wide clear unobstructed view and good outside sounds of cars near you.

This is my angle using my Contour cam with the seat pulled all the way forward
