Ok, now I have bought Tom's camera setup, I need to fit a bullet camera or two to the roll bar on my Striker.

What does anyone else recommend as a cheap way of doing this ? Pics would be good.

Thanks,

Pete

The cheapest way to do it is tiewraps....however there are a number of options here http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/roll-bar-cage-mounts.htm

I have the Dogcam mount but don't use it. It looks too easy to knock out of alignment and projects the camera so far forward that I'm afraid of shake or (worse still) catching it with my helmet. Instead I use a large jubilee clip around the roll-over bar to hold a small jubilee clip round the camera. Both camera and bar are protected from the clip by thin (3mm) rubber. Result is DVD quality stable. YouTube sized example can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3sx02chvtY

Thanks David,

I am going for a simple approach like you describe, perhaps with an exhaust clamp.
Will post some pics in due course, but haven't managed to get to the car properly in this "fresh" weather.

Currently working on something similar to the approach my brother has taken here.

Mount shown is undoubtedly beautiful -- but not easy to adjust in the vertical rotational plane.
Also, wrt the position of your brother's cam -- after much experimentation, I've decided that a mount central in the car at around driver's eye height (cross brace or underneath roll-over bar) produces the most compelling video. You can see driver movements, gear changes, shift lights, and (possibly even) instruments in addition to the track. On a se7en you can possibly also see the front wheels.

Maybe to get some vertical rotation on the above mount either use just one of the bolt holes with the clamp or slot both holes in the plate, but I like the idea

Thanks David.

I intend mounting my bullet cams on the roll bar diagonal brace as you describe - one pointing forward, the other backward.
I have spent 2 hours so far today just trying to get power to the back of the car for this lot - almost there !
