Here's what I have out of pocket. I found the camera and after 2 months in the lost and found and posts on the local forums, it's mine.

gopro camera-- $0
plexiglass to repair case-- $0
1/4" aluminum bar stock-- $0
suction cup-- $2 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=97713
screws-- $0.60

total--- $2.60
Double that if you want to use 2 suction cups.

I don't count my time since I'm doing this for myself. The picture speaks for itself so you can see it is pretty simple.

You could also use plexiglass in place of the bar stock. heat and bend to fit.

It's a very easy DIY project for which ever camera you have.

 

awsome 14mm socket camera!

 

thats totally a 7/8's dude.

 

it is my undercover 3/4" deepwell socket.

Now I have a 1 1/8" socket. Hopefully it will stay on during the day.

If it does then it should be okay to have the camera during the track day.

 

00h! I've been thinking about getting a big suction cup for an external camera mount. I guess I gotta go down the street to Harbor Freight.

 

I wouldn't mount one on the outside of the car without some kind of restraint system in case the suction cups let loose.

So far the suction cup is holding with the big socket and hasn't lost any of the pressure.

Harbor frieght does have the handle with 2 suction cups, but check out the material they are made of. For my application it was too rigid.

There is a link to the suction cup on harbor frieght. Only mine had 2 hooks instead of one. You'll cut the hooks off anyway.

 

ok, this one looks much better.

 

Got any pics with the cam mounted?

 

You can make a longer frame to allow the camera to be mounted on top of the bar. I would use 1/8" thick flat aluminum stock for the next one.

 

aww look at the cute little camera!

just a heads up, target had some mini video cams on clearence for about $40 i think, it starts out with 30 minutes on the bulit in memory but i belive its expandable, a bit bigger than that but mabe something workable. its a cheepy one, no HD
