Just got done making a custom camera mount. Does some pretty cool angles.

[poneypower89]

So I've wanting one of those professional "Car Cam mounts" like they use in the movies.. but the prices online were running anywhere from 200 bucks to 2000...

So I just made my own Total build cost of $9.12

I made a little movie.. nothing fancy at all.. just checking the different angles I could get. Angles in order are Door (towards front), Fender, Door (towards rear), Roof. Let me know what you guys think!!!

Nope

Kinda hard to get pics of a mount.. its attached to the camera Ill guess I could try though...

Nope There IS electrical tape on my camera though.. but that completely unrelated to the mount. I broke my battery/memory card door and the battery wont stay in without the door... do I got the battery tapped in


Kepp guessing... its really not that complicated.. if you look at it.. you'll realize how I made it.

suction cup?

suction cup?

There ya go!

The mount it actually a Pencile Sharpner with a level activated sunction base. I cut the sharpner part off and ran a bolt throught the bottom and screwed my camera on it. Works like a charm and hold real well too.

 

[grey5.0beast]

awesome

[bynummustang]

The kind of sucking that pencil sharpeners use.

 

[poneypower89]

i hear an S trim!

Maybe

Im glad you said that.. I was afraid people were thinking my car sounded like crap

 

[alanw6]

Not crappy, and it certainly sounds like an S-trim.

lol, I wasnt trying to make a *show off* vid... just testing the capabilities of the mount. Trying to decide if it holds well enough for my 0-100 sprints.

(and dont think I dont use the gas... did you see the condition my tires are in )

 

[Roland69]

I just did a sweet 2nd gear burnout for about 60 feet showing off tonight lol....first one like that I have done in this car. all gas no popping the clutch or using brakes just raw 5.0 power lol. The first thing I thought was " Man I wish I got that on video for Stangnet"....<--- no lie

 

[iwashmycar]

YEA NO ***** Roland!!!!

FROM NOW ON> NO ONE SHALL ABUSE THEIR MUSTANG WITHOUT A CAMERA'S PRESENCE... I still need more vid before I can make a sound stangnet compilation.

and

IWASHMYCAR:

Why? Because of the wind noise or fear of it falling

 

[iwashmycar]

ya the falling....they are kinda expensive

couldnt you eliminate some wind noise by fabbing up a "wind-sheild" for the little mic hole in the camera?.....heck maybe a windsheild for the whole thing hahaha..
