my ghetto camera mount

i believe it's the cheapest way to have a camera mount (no drilling necessary) .. i was debating to get a camera mount with suction cups but couldn't make sure if it would work with my digital camera and didn't wanna spend $80...instead i went with walmart tripod for $12 ,adjustable strap (w/hooks) for $2..

here's the video taken today

Great for the street, but it wouldn't pass tech inspection on the track.

Suprisingly stable. I'm sure quite a bit less costly than the headrest cams currently available for the C5!! Saw that CORVETTE WAVE to the C6 too- Good form

Ingenuity at it’s best. Very impressive and I’m sure you never exceeded the speed limit, it was just the nice exhaust system you have.

I have to put your Video cam DIY in the same folder as our declaration of fuel economy in a modded C5, IE; No one would believe me!! That defies reason, but it works!! I think everyone has one or two of these things buried somewhere in the house. Good job.
