Default Heavy

Poor-man's camera mount is a good idea. Remember to take into consideration that steel pipe is heavy. For some mounting applications you will want something not so heavy.

I've always filmed my small vids in a let's say 'adventurous' way ...i really want to get a mount but i dont want to change camera (not to buy one of those bulky cameras...)...i have one of those extra light Nikon small pictures and vids cameras, is it there a light mount that will match it? on the bottom it has a screw where i'd guess you could fix a standstill to hold it, the mount should go there?

I use a Canon SD 400 ELPH for most in-vette vids...the Camera mounts via the bottom screw mount you mentioned...



All the camera screw mounts are the same...I have several film cameras and a Sony Mini-Cam besides my Canon digital above...all my camera mounts/tripods work with every camera...

Just screw your NiKon to the screw (pic below) and tighten knurled ****.....

Here is one method I use in the 69....I just clamp my "Chase Cam" clamp mount to headrest bar and use a 3" extension I bought from "Sticky Pod".....


Chase Cam Clamp mount (left) ...3" extension & swival mount from Sticky Pod (right)

Note: The Chase Cam mount/swival mount are adjustable in almost any direction...

Never thought of mounting it to the headrest bar. Good idea.

That will work...just have to deal with wind noise or get extensions to position camera below top of windshield....

That is real neat... The SD card makes it worth it as you don't need a separate recorder like the Bullet cams...
