Mounting A Camcorder

Camcorder Mounts

Am looking at the SUPERCLAMP with DOUBLE BALL TILT HEAD

Any thoughts.

Seems cheaper than a new camcorder and bullet cam

I've now given up mounting video cameras, six repairs in three years to my Sony which was meant to be top of the line. Given that a decent mount is ~£80 and a hi-res bullet cam is ~£120 I'm getting a Pelcan case, a LAN-C remote and shoving the whole lot in the boot. Just not worth the risk with the vibration on the cars.

Bite the bullet and get a bullet camera from RF Concepts, great tools

£5 mount cable tied to roll bar works a treat

Pity.

Dont you thinkYoud be better ****** ?

I've got one of the superclamps and I bought it from that company.  Works well but it does leave the camera rather exposed.  Don't think I'd use it again unless I had a hood up.  Bullet cams are the way to go.

Barry,

If you're stuck on using a roll bar mount for your camera I have one you can have for good money. My camera was a bit heavy (It's Digital8 non MiniDV) and after a track day it had bent the casing from the g-forces.

I would reccomend a bullet cam though but appreciate that if your vid-cam doesn't support AV in then you're into a whole new expense.
