I'd been thinking about all sorts of camera mounts for my car and wanted something that would shoot forward through the windshield. I found the perfect solution and it's cheap too.



The papertowell is there to raise the back of the camera slightly to give a better view forward. It works remarkably well although it seems the stereo (factory H/K) vibrates the parcel shelf slightly (I'm sure my music selection didn't help). My test run last night:

that's cool. good idea too. might have to try it.

 

Well done!

 

Surprisingly simple. Cant believe it worked that well.

 

I like it!

 

That doesn't look like ti would work, but it works amazingly. Nice work.

 

Thing to look out for with this set up.. (yeah i tried it) . During the day depending on the camara your using. Since it sitting in the back and possible in the shadows (my windows are well tinted in the back) you may get a washout or whiteout when looking out the front. I made a block camara mount the hooked on the Front center dash vent to use for Autox the video wasnt to bad. http://www.members.aol.com/vsmcvid/run1.asf

 

Just to clarify: the only materials you used were two zip ties and a paper towel?
