Default Testing a Roof Rack Mounted Camera Mount
Using a 6 megapixel Canon point and shoot in video mode. My friend Travis used some spare parts and made a camera mount that goes up on his Yakima Bike Rack.

Check out the short footage he gave me of my car from our meet up spot to the secondary meet up spot for the roll in to the Spaghetti Junction Car Show.
