Hi all
I have a 94 Impala thatI run in ESP. I have a sony Hi 8 that I mounted. I
took the lid off of the center console adn installed a threaded galvinized
1"
flange in the bottom (which also mounts to the console mounting points on
the
tranny hump). I then baught 18" galvinized steel pipe. On one end i used
PVC
fittings to mount the swivel head of a tripod, so I stillhave up/down
right/left
adjustenmt. When I want to use the camera I sccrep the pipe into the
flange,
thenm moount the camera. Take about 5 minutes and only cost 5 bucks for
parts
and one "donor" tripod, so i would not ruin my good one. The other nice
thing
is that once you have the flange mounted Its a perm. mount and mine is easy
to conceal. I imagine you could drill into the floorboard or hump of the
car
and do it that way as well
Brilliant idea. And I happen to have a "free" tripod with a bad leg to
use for the donor head.
No matter how many time it happens there is always something fun about
watching
a video in which cones suddenly start traveling right/left across the
screen,
accomapanied with a four lettered expletive and the howling of tires in
protest.
Yeah I've got a couple of those myself!
