Not bad, for ten bucks. lol

The camera battery died half way thorough the video. :banghead:

Got a couple good runs though before it died.

Found it on EvilBay for $10.99 plus shipping. It seems to be pretty universal, but I typed in the model of my camera, "Canon Powershot A720 suction cup mount"
This is what came up.

I assume you can really only put it on the back where the wind won't get to it...

I'm going to maybe try it on the fender by my FWI, face the camera backwards, theoretically, it shouldn't get much or any wind noise. :dontknow:

All this talk of shooting videos in the car.... now I have to re-shoot my five-roundabouts-in -less-than-a-mile video, to see how the Bonnie takes it. I think the Cierra did it in 1:15 or so

Love the way your car sounds Will!! Also looking forward to future videos. I think at the next meet, you should lead the convoy with this mounted to your car so we can see the train of Bonny's!! :poke:

I plan to do a video of a lot at our next meet Eric, with the way all of our cars sound, a fly by video at WOT would be pretty sick. Even though your car doesn't ever go to WOT. :poke:

If you're worried about wind noise, stick a piece of electrical tape over the microphone on your camera. Should alleviate the problem, especially at low to medium speeds.

I've got one of these

Used for autocross, 1/4 mile drag strips (inside the car), and so on.

Took a new video, with the mount on the front driver's fender. I'm still getting my bearings with this mount, and people kept cutting me off. lol
I will most likely find a tunnel somewhere soon though. Thanks for the electrical tape trick Jerry!

I don't like them there either, next set of tires theyre being mounted on the inside like my Snowflakes are. I didn't know they did that until after it was too late. :banghead:
