Nice! That worked perfectly!

Definitely DIY Thread worthy! lol

I put one of IO Port's mounts in my old CRX, they work pretty good as well.

Camera is actually extremely stable. I would say definitely not bad for the price!

And yeah, the A on my windshield is from HOD, just did Thunderhill last weekend.

Nice idea and video!!!

Im not sure if that would hold up to my driving style however

And if it decided to dump my sony xr520 i would be pisssssed

I think i may buy a cheap couple hundred dollar camera and mount it just like you have it though and just keep it there
