Default rollbar/camera mount ?

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not but here goes

I am looking to put a rollbar or somehting like that in my car that can handle a camera mount so when I go on road trips I can mount my camcorder in the car and have a little fun with it.

I was looking a rollbars but want something that looks cool but not many options out there for a ragtop. Lots for the hard top.

Any help would be nice

If it can handle a 5 point thats cool to but I do not want to cut the car. Would like one that mounts to the facotry seatbelt mounts

Sounds like what you want is a Hardbar crossbar that runs between the two existing seatbelt shoulder mounts and retains the existing belts and a Manfrotto camera mount and clamp. You can get the Manfrotto from B&H Photo for about $60. The Hardbar will be a little more!!!

This should get you to the camera mount and clamp, it's two different Manfrotto pieces. The Hardbar crossbar comes from Hardbar and I believe they are a forum sponsor or you can simply google them.

Personally - I am thinking of making my own for a camera mount only.

Consider a little mount that attaches to the passenger side grab bar.
Its inexpensive and works well. I have used one before and now have one on order.

Here are a few links for camera / harness mount bars.

Best of luck.
