Camera mount for Boxster

[DANNOV]

I am planning to mount a digital camera to the center of the rollbar to record my laps at DE events. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions about how to mount the camera to the rollbar? I plan to use my Minolta Diamage X50 - a very small camera - to the rollbar and shoot film clips to be recorded on a 512 MB SD card. I know there are expensive mounts that would work but it would seem that I could fabricate something myself. Any ideas?

Probably not worth the effort. The IOport is $100 and the Brey Krause is $165. IOport has a sale going on soon. Forgot exactly what date.

I went to Osh and bought some door hangers and a wooden ruler and some foam. I created my own little $10 camera holder for a Sony DCP P100 (I think it is a P100). I hanged this thing from the windstop where i can get a very good view of the dash and if i want to I can move to see my self in the video....

The videos are ok.. the problem is mixing the sound and controlling the vibration you get from the rollbar.

My best DIY solution has been to invest money on my girl and then she agrees to hold the camera and adds some good remarks here and there... Let me get a picture of my $10 camera holder I will post later tonite. I wont post any pictures of my expensive persian princess camera holder...

Most tracks wont allow hand held cameras. At least on the west coast.
