Video camera mount in car?
I have watched a few vids on here where some of you have mounted a vid camera in the car. One that comes to mind was a '68(?) where he took it for a drive - had to be England because it was freaking me out that he was on the left side of the road 
Another was at a drag strip.
Could any of you tell me how you are mounting the camera in the car? They seemed to be really solid and it was a great way to document your car. I'd like to try that out. Is there a way to do this without all sorts of special "stuff"?
Thanks,
Adam

I have a "Contour" cam that I just sit on the dash, make sure that's level, or pointed down slightly. I just weight it down with a heavy bean-bag sort of thing, to keep it from getting to jitters. Not a whole lotta room on these dashs and windshields.

A little dated camera, but solid.....
I had the sleeve made to slip onto the sub-box port opening for $12.00 and ordered up a RAM Mount for like, $20.00. The mount is extremely sturdy.
SKIP to 1:00 for 50 seconds of sample in car camera video.
