Hi all. I've been trying to source a camera mount for my Camorder. I've been trying to find the type that clamps onto the stems of the headrest on the front seats, but can't find them in the UK. Any ideas?

What other types are you using? I know CSL's don't have headrests, so to speak, so assume most of you will be using mounts stuck to the windscreen??

I also started a thread on this the other week if you search. I've now ended up with one of these:

but haven't tried it out yet. It looks like it'll work OK on either the side window or windscreen as the arm is quite long.

I'll be giving it a go at the w/e so can let you know how it works out...

Yeah let me know please. Does it seem quite strong and ridgid?? I'm hoping to mount a small hand held camcorder on something, so don't want it bouncing around too much.

Just had a quick go with it. It was absolutely solid, and works fine with the camera I'm using, which is just a little Flip camera (half a fag-packet sized, weighs only 100g ).

I think it'd certainly be OK for something twice that weight. The guys at dogcamsport were pretty helpful, so you could always call them for advice.
