I'm thinking of doing this for autocross, does anyone have the interior dimensions of the rear sunroof?

I'll mount the camera upside down and then rotate it with my video editing program.

I have a Cruise Cam mount from Chase Cam... mounts to the headrest and works really well, IMHO.

I have the cruisecam too. It's excellent and VERY reasonably priced at $45

Thanks guys!

Is it pretty stable? No jittering, etc?

To minimize jittering, mount the camera as close to the headrest as possible. A video cam with good image stabilization helps too.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks!

I'll try to get a picture of it, but there was a Miata at the last Autocross who had one of the headlight covers popped up. He DUCT TAPED his camera in!

Actually, it worked really well. I was amazed at how stable the video was.

Duct Tape is like the force; it has a dark side, a light side, and it binds the universe together.

I once heard that I only needed 2 tools, WD-40 and duct tape. WD-40 to make it go, and duct tape to make it stop. Course, also heard that the only tool I needed was a hammer. And if that didn't work, get a bigger hammer.
