I'm heading to Putnam Park this weekend for some road course action. I've got a digital camcorder, and a roll bar, but no camera mount. Does someone have a camera mount to mount to 1 5/8" roll bar tubing that I could borrow for the weekend.

I'd have to pick it up tomorrow before noon. I don't mind giving you a security deposit or whatever if you would like. Let me know, I'd love to have some track footage.

You can fab up something quick with a 1/4-20 bolt, a piece of steel and a 1-5/8" muffler clamp!

I thought there had to be something to dampen the vibration and shock or there could be possible camera damage.

Wouldn't be a bad idea but most camera mounts people are using don't have any dampening built in.

I'm going to be up Saturday to shoot some and hang out. Putnam is a bit of a challenge to shoot, not many accessable places to shoot from.

Nevermind this thread. The guy who was going to let me borrow his camcorder forgot it was his baby's baptism this weekend. Thanks for the offers though, I appreciate it!

Is it a special camcorder? Maybe some one will be nice enough here to let you borrow one.

I can't ask someone that I don't konw to borrow something that valuable. The one I was going to use was like a $800 camcorder (when new). I'm heading out at 11:00 this morning, so I'm pretty much out of time anyhow. Not a big deal, there will be other times, and I'll be more prepared.
