Lime Rock Park Mini Cooper S - DIY Camera mount test

Vintage Fest 2009 - Car clubs got to do a parade lap so the video is me and about 50 other Mini's on the track. We were paced and I was kinda just goofing off so no need to criticize my race line ;-)

Camera Bar is 3/4" aluminum square tubing from Home Depot, cut to length, sanded and painted with self etching metal primer (matt black). Holes drilled in to use U-Bolts to attach to rear seat posts, then I got a $6 tripod at Wal-Mart and took the top off of it. I had to then get the screw that held the legs on the tripod to home depot to match to a longer one to fit through the bar. You can hear ratting a couple of points in the video. This could either be fixed by lifting up the headrest to their first notch so that the bar wasn't touching the plastic on the top of the seat, or by putting some rubber washers underneith the bar.

Hey thanks for posting this! I was in the parade, several cars behind you in a Justa Clubman. So fun! Too short! But now I can watch the vid to remember. You RULE!
