I got an old camera mount but you have to take off the windscreen. Bought it long ago from a former sponsor here.

I say go MODIFRY.

Wed July 8th - Thunderhill - T-Hill Lapping Days

I'm going to see if I can make out to one of these events. Possibly the July 8th event, but I'm not sure how quickly it will fill up.

Hmmm.....

You're prob right about the screen - I'll give it a shot on the secret compartment and see how it turns out.

i am using a manfrotto tripod head mounted in front of the windscreen on the lid. works great.... nice camera todd, i am using a canon SD780 also with HD video.

gopro didnt work well for me.

s2kenmark, do you do anything to keep the windscreen lid still while you are driving? Tape it down or something?

I think he means he just uses the Manfrotto suction cup camera mount on the surface in front of the windscreen (aka on top of the secret compartment) - that's what I am planning on trying out.
