I will be attending our club's annual DE event at Mid Ohio Oct 31-Nov 1 and would like to get some video footage. I do not have a rollbar or any other way to really attach the camera in the center of the car. I do have a video cam mount, but I haven't found a way to effectively mount it in the side window. I don't want to mount it outside of the car. When it's mounted on the rear side glass, you end up with a view mostly of the driver, rather than the track. I just wondered if anyone has come up with an innovative way to mount a camera. I could mount it in the rear window upside down & use quicktime pro (which has a way to invert the video).

 

Hi Mate,

I use a similar camera mount although I haven't stuck it in the back of a 996 as yet.

Here's some ideas for camera mounts and angles. Hope they are of some help. You can do a lot more if you go for a dedicated bullet camera setup (tacho, passenger foot well facing driver, under front bar facing forward, left, right and rear facing cameras for overtaking etc). For a quick 1 or 2 bullet camera setup you need something identical to this, although you will need an external microphone and long cable to the camera so you can capture sound.

I bought my stuff a few years back, it looks like you can get all in one intergrated bullet cameras now, and don't forget the "gopro" camera's

My suction mount allows mounting cam on back window either upside down or right side up. Gives excellent view of driver and road.
