Does anyone Know where I can get a support cradle to go into UK STi
for a Sony Digital Video Camera with side opening screen?

 

Not sure if this site is of any use?

I bought a camera clamp from B Hague recently, for my Caterham. Fantastic service and the clamp is very well made. Recommended.

Fitting a camcorder to the dash is something I have fancied for a while but as usual not got around2it.

What about safety e.g. you crash and the camera comes unstuck?
What about vibration? My Panasonic DV camera has some antishake built in but can it handle being in a car?

Anybody have any thoughts?

Good link BTW DazW

Dirty_Den, what model did you get?

 

If you are worried about safety in a crash don't do it, unless you have something solid like an Roll Cage to attach it to!

 

Ok, don't crash good advice.

Maybe the airbags will hold it.

I asked for that one I suppose.

 

E mail Ian Sadler on here.He can advise and supply said gear - works very well for my Sony digital video.

Ian. Good to hear you're up and about again.

TolTec - I got the SUPERCLAMP with BALL TILT HEAD, model SC2 on their page. I wrap a little bit of cloth around the rollbar on my 7, then tighten the clamp so that the teeth go into the cloth - I'm just a tart and don't want marks on my rollbar

Total was just under 70 quid, I got the clamp the next day!

Thanks for a very prompt response the site referred to looks great and I will pass info on to my son who is buying me a bracket for my Birthday

The SM1 type suction mounts we use at work for video, but I can't get them to attach to anywhere inside a Scooby due to all the curves on the glass

 

It is usual for 'outside' installations to have safety straps on so that, should a suction mount fail, your precious camera equipment doesn't hit the deck!

 

NOTE: from another page on the b-hague site!

'Our office and works will be closed from 1.00pm on Friday the 23rd. of August until Monday the 2nd. of September when we re-open at 8.00am'

 

Bought one of these recently - very impressed:-

You need a Video Camera that is capable of acting as a Video Recorder for it to work.

 

I've also got on of these http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/helmet_cameras.htm
and use it with a Sony PC9 camera. I have used it on my motorbike, mountain bike and extensively inside a friends rally car, I couldn't recommend it enough, it is a million times better than trying to mount your entire camera inside the car. You will have a nightmare trying to get it where you want it and then will find the vibrations destroy your picture. The bullet camera is small (waterproof) and light enough to tape/zip tie/wedge just about anywhere inside or out.
