Branners Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi folks, I have been thinking about getting a car camera mount kit for ages and found a great one a few years ago, but never bought it. So I'm after a camera mount kit. Looking at a suction cup based system so it can go on the side of the car or on the front/rear window. Bit of stabilisation might be nice, and only looking to spend around £40 or so. So, whats out there that might suit? I will be mounting a small Sanyo Xacti camera to it so large load allowance is not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 JB, the universal phone holders from halfords are great, only cost a couple of quid each, i have the same sanyo xacti as you, they clamp the camera just fine but i always put a little electrical tape round the clamp to hold it super tight.

Guigsy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Same. I got a dead cheep universal phone/camera holder. The flexible neck was too long and wobbled the picture too much. So I bent it back on it's self and tied it up tight with string. Works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) The one I use is not £40, but it stayed on the car at over 140 leptons http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/hague_sm1_car_camera_suction_mount.html Edit : I've just bought a few more toys for mine this years big events. I've got a proper .30x fisheye lense. When fitted, they give a proper look of speed. You also get a brilliant wide angle of the car if fitted to the rear screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOadFKuJWT0 Edited April 7, 2011 by pistonbroke (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
