looks like a strut bar for your seat with a camera adapter on it.

Nice! Made one like that for my Miata that goes behind the seats and between the seatbelt bolts. For my Accord, I just used some angle iron and bolted my camera to the front license plate. Gotta love what $10 and a drill can do. :)

Thanks! It makes the interior of the car look better for some reason. I am uploading a quick video I took to see how well it holds the camera. It hardly shakes so I am happy with the results. I am also going to have a Go Pro camera mounted onto my door on the outside. :)

2ndGenGuy- This project cost me $15 and took about 2 hours(had to run to the store) to make.

The video was just the first test run to see how sturdy it is. I can raise the camera by raising the headrests. I can also zoom in on this camera(not a cheap one) so we'll see how that goes tomorrow.

I did that before, but that won't work when you're throwing your car around a race course. :violin:

Nice, looks really pro...

I don't mean to be the prophesier of doom but i was just wondering how that would fare in a crash though?... :S
