[urq] Camera mount in a Coupe-urQ

[Geraint Lloyd]

Mr Richard,

Try the seat back mount and use one of the small ratchet straps that you use
to keep the Thule Roof Box on the Saab shut (following the "Loss of Coats
Incident") in combination with the spare seatbelt buckle that you use to
install Estelle's baby seat. Use that to put some tension on the seatback
using the rear seatbelt mountings. That should nail the rattling seatback
issue.

Remember to offset the camera mount enough to clear your helmet clad head.

If you are planning to film with your brother in the car, remember that you
both ate WAY too much spinach as kids and as a result probably never needed
Miami Vice shoulder pads in the '80s.

If you end up buying a cheapo/$10 tripod head from Wal-Mart, could you get
me one to while you are there?

Geraint

Thanks to all, DIY a mount seems possible, but the seatback of the right
seat is very rattling and I guess my driving style (LOTS of scandinavian
flicks, in fact, too many I am sure) would make my own seat move too much.

 So the solution might be to torque it tightly to the floor with a strap
that attach to the rear seat belts.

Any tips to attach a camera outside the car towards the rear ? I want to
hear the sound from the exhaust too (to follow up on a previous tread...).

I made one like that for my car except I used a longer bit that spans both 
seats for a little extra stability... and I pointed the U-bolts backwards 
;-). I picked up a cheap ($10 tops) tripod at Walmart and pulled the head 
off of it to use to mount the camera.
