video mounting in an exige

[nick francis]

I have hague suction mount for a video/camera but didnt use it yesterday at anglesey cos its so cumbersome. I thought about trying to rig up some kind of mount which I could secure in place using one of the bolt holes in the headboard which holds the roof on! Obviously the new bolt holding the camera plate would also need to ensure that the roof doesnt fly off.

Anybody done this?

Sounds a bit OTT to be honest. One option is to use a bullet camera (I have one)...you're looking at around £160 all in ready to go, and it means that you can put the camera anywhere....even on the front bumper! (videos in my profile were taken with bullet camera).

How about fixing the suction to the glass behind the seats facing forwards?

[nick francis]

yes I have used suction mounts on that glass in the past , I have various sizes and loads of different linkages etc. I also have a bullet cam but using it is such faff with all the different cables and getting the camcorder to record by using the remote control!

I suppose I was spoiled with the noble and it's rollcage to which I could clamp the camera bracket just abbout anywhere in the car I wanted.

Can't you clamp it onto the roll bar in between the seats with a special mount. Dogcam have a few different sorts on their website. I use one of them with my bullet cam.

Not all exiges have that roll bar (mine doesn't)...it comes with the sport pack I think it is for the harnesses.

Bullet cam is a bit of a faff I must admit, but the results are good I find (use them on all the hoons I do through Europe).

I know Ted uses a clamp on the cage in his GT3 RS and it's SO very easy. I think you're right, you were simply spoiled
