Evening,

Off to a trackday at Bedford next Monday, and want to record some in car vids with my digital camera.

Been looking at mounts, but £50-70 seems excessive... Anyone got any ingenius ways of mounting a camera to a cage etc??

I've used a Gorillapod with plenty of gaffatape to keep it from moving around my rollcage diagonal with good results: http://joby.com/gorillapod

I take the headrest off the passenger seat (if you have one) and then mount the gorillapod to that.
