In a previous thread, I posted a few pics of the headrest mount I made from aluminium square tubing. Since the earlier shots were taken at night, I finaly got around to taking a few day shots. The mount was made from aluminium square tubing, 2 u bolts, 4 wingnuts, 1 bolt for the tripod head, and a few bolts & washers. The tubing was cut to size, drilled appropriate holes for the u bolts and tripod head, then entire mount was sprayed black. The mount was attached to the passenger headrest.

Headrest camera mounts are usually used to film races or canyon runs. Since my DSLR takes HD videos as well as stills, I mounted my D90.

Nice mount ... What lens are you using to capture the in-car clips you've done?
