Alright, i was bored today, and i came up with a simple way to mount a camera in a hatch (without normal headrests)
Pop out a plug in your seat and insert screw
find some drilled metal that is about 4’-5’ long Thats from a garage door.
3)
Slide metal piece over Bolt, put on locking washer, and nut, Snug back end of bar against the back seat, take your camera mount it infront of the seat, put the bolt threw the metal, into camera, wrap with bundjy cord. I suggest putting some thing between the metal and the end of the screw (on the bottem part not the camera side) to keep it from bouncing.
Vid here I had nothing to keep the screw holding the camera steady so its a little bouncy, once i fix that i will put up pictures.
Front one was easy, it was a bike rack, we just took some wood (which you can see) and a couple pipes and tied it all together so the camera would stay.
That’s all the modding it required…
The side mount I made out of aluminum square tubing and angle stuff.
That was all custom except for the actual camera mount, we stole that from a broken tripod (it was used in the first carcam as well)
Driving around with the camera was exactly the same as without…
One problem though was our recording gear inside the car wasn’t really meant for that stuff… the camera itself was an OLD (early 80s) tube camera that required a seperate tape deck…
The one it came with was broken so we found the pin-outs for the original and made our own cable and hacked it together to work with a normal VCR.
The hatchbacks cant use that, since we have a one piece seat, The head rest is not removeable or adjustable :S
I could make that work this way is just easyer.
anyways, this is what it looks like, very easy, very cheap, good quality vid, (the vid that i posted sucks because crappy upload and somthings messed with the host)
Seat.
Mounting
The back seat,
Looks getto but it works well, There are bunjys on the back holding the end so it dosnt move at all but it was to hot to put them on.
haha YES!!! ditto… except the first thought that came to my mind was Quake III: Weapons Factory, on a 56k with a Riva TNT2 hahahaha!! awww the good ol days when I had times for such things…
Mine was built to “work” not be Stealth.
What kind of illegal activity would you be recording on film for you future prosecution that would require ‘stealth’?

You have the legal permits to have something like that sticking on your
hood/door while driving on our roads?
Thats from a garage door.
