Camera mount videos here

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=354640

btw, the quality is my fault. I had the wrong setting on the camera, and had to bump it thru 4 different formats to get it on youtube.

I need to move the position of it, or remove the rear view mirror. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, it works out great.

The mount did turn out good. Although, it would be nice if you could figure out a way to move it forward in the car so you could add a wide angle lense and have more of a front-seat view.

I wonder how well it would work to build a 2nd bar like you have, and use both to triangulate from the 2 rear headrests each to the front passenger head rest to keep it from shaking, then mount the camera on one of the bars like you have it only closer to the front passenger seat.

Yeah, I should have tried to zoom more, but when you are looking thru a 3" lcd screen it looks ok , so it's hard to tell. Over all I am happy with it. for 14.66 you can't go wrong. It's safe, didn't vibrate much (the top of the leather seats absorb a lot of that). Wind noise was my fault, but no biggy. The video is more for me. Just thought i'd share the idea.

lots of the instructors were coming over to check it out after my morning instructor told them about it. They loved the idea.
