I made a camcorder mount out of 1" square aluminum tube, u-bolted to the upper seat belt mounts of my convertible. Also fabbed up a bracket to attach a tripod mount that clears the tonneau lid.
Normally I use a remote bullet cam suction-cupped to the windshield to feed video to the camcorder.

Another easy mount is a simple home made metal bracket that attaches under the sunvisor clip. It is easy to make by bending sheet metal purchased at a home improvement store. Drill a hole for the visor screw and another to attach to the camera. The camera will sit high and not block your view and gets a good shot of the road and the hood of the car.

That's what I've been doing. She gets scared. Thanks for the ideas everybody. I think I'll check into the harness bar mount for now.

Well I made this before I made my own harness bar
Now someone else made this before I did(I copied it) but it works well and it is very esy to make... If you would like I could take deatiled pics if you would like, it cost me about $10 for everything to make it

The problem is that the camera gets real shakey in the triple digit area.
