The other day i made a camera mount for my car out of a 20mm x 2omm x 400mm aluminium extrusion. It slids into the passenger seat head rest legs and sits in the middle of the car, i have then bolted the head of a tripod onto the end between the seats works a treat. Not sure how it would go through scrutineering tho what do you guys think i have more parts and can make more up if any one is keen. Ill post some pics soon.

CAMS have specific regirements for competing with camera mounts. I always ran a camera from the diagonal crossbrace in Gunter. Got some awesome footage, more so from the road rallies. Britchies notes came through very clearly apart from when he dropped em!!! j:

Hey Rob,

looks good - I have a similar one out of the US.

Cams have a "camera box" specific mounting mainly because no matter how strong the bracket - the little thread in the bottom of the camera is the weakest point! And as Mythbusters know, a box of tissues hitting you in the head at speed can kill you!

nice work though!
