DIY in-car videocam mount for $20

Hi guys-

I made a headrest-mount camera holder for recording laps at the track. It was pretty easy and I thought I would pass along the idea.

1. Buy a crappy tripod from ebay or walmart.

2. Take it apart and keep the vertical post only, with the camera mount.

3. Drill a couple hole through the post, use the distance between the headrest supports as a guide.

4. go to Home Depot and buy some electrical wire clamps (with the rubber) and grap some thumbscrews and wingnusts.

5. assemble and enjoy!

I mounted it to the driver's seat to reduce vibration, works pretty well!

Jim
