The quickshoe is on its way. You probably want something more like this though:

and the above pic:




These low profile ones are great to reduce the amount of shaking/wobble the camera will do.

The problem with them is that they affix the camera much more solidly to the car and the higher frequency vibrations mess with the camera. (That's assuming you want video)

I'm experimenting with my solution as well, right now I think a foam rubber "donut" or something that will help absorb some of the shaking. I'm using a Canon GL-1 on my mounts and so far I am happy with it.










Now I just need the wide-angle adaptor for the lens.

I had my still camera on the low one, and was running the video camera on the tall one.



It looks like the same mount you have your video camera on.

Same type yes, It's not the same manufacturer. I'm surprised at how much weight you can put on one of these things. The other thing was the fact I didn't need any mount/rack at all once you find the right kind of bolt to use.



Note the threads - the smaller diameter thread will fit through the stock holes in the compartment lid. The bigger thread anchors it to the hole where recessed nut lives underneath the cover. This is rock solid. Get a thin rubber "washer" put it over the exposed bolt and hand-tighten the camera mount. You can easily put two cameras on the car.

The only thing you "give up" is the ability to mount a camera dead-center.

Really? Looks like Bogen to me. Their plate design is pretty unique.

It's a Manfrotto 3229 monopod head.

So I could get these mounts from any camera shop?

rworne

Yes, expect them to be between $20-30.

Thank you to everyone, I think I know what to get now. Ill post a pic of it when im done. Might be hard though, taking a picture of my camera.

revhi

OK my local camera shops suck.

They have no clue what Im talking about or what I need. They tell me it must be some custom thing.

Is there anywhere online I can order this thing. Exact website and part or model number will help.

Thank you
