I ran Tuna Canyon in Malibu today with this setup and I got some pretty spectacular video. I loosened the screws that hold the Angle to the mounts which allowed the Angle to slide about 1/2" in either direction. I figure if the windows move, this would allow some give to move as well. I seriously doubt it's going to ever move that much, otherwise, I think I'd have something more serious to be worrying about!
The mounts held on great. It did come off while in the parking lot. Direct sunlight isn't good on the mounts. But a few applications of Quik Detailer, and eventually even with the sunlight, they were stuck on really well. I had to almost peel them off to remove them when I got home, but a bit of Quik Detailer cleaned everything right up when it came to breaking down the setup.
The video clips are posted in the VacuCam Video Samples but I will link it here as well.
A few notes in case anyone's wondering about the excessive speeding and racing rule on NAM. The route we took today was the same as we took on the Malibu DVD I made. The actual run was about 30 minutes, but I condensed it to 3 minutes, therefore I cut scenes on the camera angles which may look like scenes back to back of a bunch of cars chasing each other. In reality, the M3 was on my tail on the straightaways, but on the curves he was no where to be seen. In front of me was Idiaz who is so freaking fast, I rarely had him in view. So I chose to show the footage that you can see us all in at once--which was mostly on the way up the canyon and the very beginning of the downhill. And yes, my new tires are squawking, but there is a good lesson to be learned from watching this video, and you will see it at the end.
Enjoy.
