I made one about 6 years ago with a tri pod (it was a temp one) that tie straped into the car....it worked ok for a day at the track. When I put the cage in a few years ago I made a mount between the driver and pass monted on the bar behind the seats.

matt thanks!! got some very good idea's from your pictures,man the video camera's sure are getting small these days.will make mine removable / clamp style as well
question?did you use the remote to operate it when you were in the car and did the video end up all shakey or good quality

A guy I icerace with has one mounted in his car. He is using a couple small vibration dampeners under the camera to reduce the vibrations. It works really well especially considering that iceracing is so violent with rough track surfaces and such. I will ask him where he got them next time I see him.
