Or do as a few other have done and remove it, or do you use it on track as much as/more than on road?

You could push it further up the roof and drop the camera down an inch if possible?

I have that exact same one as that for my camera.

Such a good clamp, very rarely if ever does it shake, vibrate, come lose etc; very well made bit of kit with so much adjustment when locating it on a cage.
Definatley worth the dosh.

Humm, i might look to see how it works if i mount it on the underside of the main hoop? would be closer toward to screen too..

Could you not mount it on the nearside front leg right next to the screen, would have panoramic view then lol

I'll have a play about with different location points, see what looks/works best, also leave the windows up more next time lol

I normally mount mine on the rear diagonal but at my next trackday at snetterton next month I'm going to try mounting it on the nearside front leg of the cage by the windscreen, and see how that turns out.

Wow why didnt i think of that lol

(kiddin dude;))

I reckon if you can get it to sit far enough from the screen so it wont rattle against it then that would be a cool angle, the only downside i can see is you wont get to see what the driver is up to, which adds to the interest of the video imo, btw forgot to say scott, are you running epas, cos your steering seems bloody light in that vid:thumb:

That looks suspiciously like a Manfrotto/Bogen superclamp :).

Cheers dude, didn't really chat to you at billing, to be fair theres a few i didn't, the weekend went so quick,and i didn't even bother to go look round all the other stand, just a few, and i never got my camera out once! lol

PS: IF i get the cash together the car will get a full new paint job, same color.
