Here you go:
I'm in back-to-back conference calls right now. I'll post pics tomorrow of the various mounts I have (and the best one for using in an E60).

Any details on the camera mount? Pics, specs, pricing etc?
The clamp that's perfect for an E60 is #1 in that pic above, the Sunpak Clamp Pod Pro. I bought it from B&H on the corner of 8th and 34th in Manhattan.
Clamp #2 is also great, made by Hama in Germany but also. That can be clamped to an open sunroof or an open window or the headrest bars.
Clamp #3 is my big gun, the , which I use if I'm wanting to take time-lapse stuff outdoors. It clamps to signposts and fences.
Clamp #4 is a Joby Gorillapod which will wrap itself around anything, even a steering wheel.
Clamp #5 is a suction mount. I got that one from the Hama factory shop, but they're also .
Some pics of them all in action:
First #1, the Sunpak:
Then #2, the Hama clamp:
Then #4:
and finally #5:

Dont like the idea of the Joby on the steering wheel lol.........
I have the Joby Gorillapod, its excellent, really ace bit of kit, in fact my trackdays have all been filmed with one of those, very stable even when drifting
Nice kit, thanks for sharing DD

Does #1 film upside down? If so, do you have a program that flips the vid 180? Just curious.
