Default WTB: Camera mount..

Title says it all. Anyone have a Camera mount for a video camera? I would prefer a nice one with the bushings to keep vibration down.
Please let me know what you have. Also I preffer a local sale..Chicago area.
Thanks,
Sam.

IO Port is the best and popular mine was 110.

Check with R-D Racing, Dave is a sponser on the forum and is offering a pretty good price.

I've got the I-O Port camera mount and it works well. Check with Discoveryparts.com or some other like supplier and you'll probably get it for less than $100.

IO Port is sturdy and very easy to adjust in three rotations.

I picked up a bullet cam (size of a tube of lipstick) - and record to my digital video camera. The cam is mounted to one of the sunvisor brackets - eliminates the shoulder/steering wheel shots most of the camera mounts result in, plus you hardly notice it's there.

Have you tested that mount at high speeds, yet? It looks like vibration could be an issue at speeds over 100 when the wind buffeting really gets bad.

Mine looks very similar to Tom's



IO port on a BK bar... I had mine mounted to the rear bar this past weekend and want to get a wide angle lense so you can really see what's going on.

No, not with the roof panel out, but with both the passenger and driver windows down. I've noticed on my I/O port mount, as solid as it is, I can sometimes get vibration on tape.
