Mounting A Camcorder Onto A Roll Cage

[SlowWhite]

What's the best way to mount a Camcorder to a Roll Cage?

What's the best Angle/Direction to face the Camcorder?

Is there anything you can do to minimize vibrations?

FYI - This is for my Eclipse and I'm having a 6 point cage installed.

Although I'm getting my cage from S&W the mounts that Matt listed are much better IMO. They cost a lot more but mounting at $1600 camera to a Cage with 2 hose clamps just doesn't make me feel safe.


here's that website for those who are wondering:

Why are you getting a cage? Are you worried the roof on your garage is going to cave in and ruin your interior? :stick:

For someone who costantly mentions not having money and can't seem to keep their car running you sure seem to spend the money you do have on some odd things. I'd like to see your car driving on the street more. I'm just hoping you have the money to do both. But whatever it's your money.

Exactly you hit the nail right on the head!

Saving my interior is all I care about.....why else would someone get a cage?

The camera mount is just so I can take pictures of my interior while I'm driving also...

The harness's.. that's so I don't fall forward and ruin the nice pictures of my interior when I brake....

I totally agree and wonder alot about this... and I cant stand when the no money thing comes up because then I look at threads like this and its like... uhhh there's you money...

But yea its your choices ;)

Just mount a regular camcorder in there... why would you waste money on a special mount and camera? Especially one over $1500??

:blah:

[Enes]

he has a $1500 camera already...

hence why he wants something more secure to hold it up..
