Default In car suction mount for camcorders?

Did a search on her and found a few of you guys pointing everybody in the direction of b-huges for a 70-80 pound suction mount.

Did anybody ever find a cheaper one and where from?

Thumbs up

Ian Sadler supplies these - you'll find him in muppets usually, but don't let that put you off - quick and cheap.

You arent asking for much are you? The mounts mentioned above are excellent; would you really fix your £500 camera onto the outside of a car travelling at 70MPH with a piece of cheap ****e? You get what you pay for...

It looks like you will have to use No-Nails

I think you will find if you can buy cheaper you picture quality will be very poor from vibration ?

You post an offensive reply to a geniune remark then wonder why it gets deleted I wouldn't trust a camera on a cheap mount personally because it could so easily get broken or worse in an accident If you stacked it would you like a camera hitting you in the face with whatever else from the accident? I know I wouldn't.

Nobody mentioned the outside, did they? I'm looking for external mounts and to purchase in the UK. Most are only rated up to a few kilos at most. With the dynamic forces to take into consideration, I want to be guaranteed it won't come off.

Outside, inside; Im not sure that it makes much difference, if the camera comes off inside it will probably break. This man sells mounts which if not the best, equal them, and theyre not dear either.

As you will see from the site; 'suction camera mounts' are principally used on the outside; Ray didnt clearly mention mounting it on the inside of the windscreen did he?

Btw the £40 mount isnt recommended for use on the inside of a windscreen but it can be used on a side glass.

The site has been updated since I last. The SM3 kit is exactly what I want.

I'm a happy bunny now
