| | | Just got done making a custom camera mount. Does some pretty cool angles.
So I've wanting one of those professional "Car Cam mounts" like they use in the movies.. but the prices online were running anywhere from 200 bucks to 2000... 
So I just made my own  Total build cost of $9.12 
I made a little movie.. nothing fancy at all.. just checking the different angles I could get. Angles in order are Door (towards front), Fender, Door (towards rear), Roof. Let me know what you guys think!!! www.dojag.com/angleshots.wmv

I broke my battery/memory card door and the battery wont stay in without the door... do I got the battery tapped in
Kepp guessing... its really not that complicated.. if you look at it.. you'll realize how I made it. |

The mount it actually a Pencile Sharpner with a level activated sunction base. I cut the sharpner part off and ran a bolt throught the bottom and screwed my camera on it. Works like a charm and hold real well too. |

Not crappy, and it certainly sounds like an S-trim. |

Why? Because of the wind noise or fear of it falling |

ya the falling....they are kinda expensive
couldnt you eliminate some wind noise by fabbing up a "wind-sheild" for the little mic hole in the camera?.....heck maybe a windsheild for the whole thing hahaha..
