Hey - I'm trying to figure out a handy way to mount a camcorder when I do my SoloSprint... I don't have a roll bar or a harness bar... I've looked in some camera stores for something and held the camera in various spots but haven't come up with anything for a mounting point. I'm hoping to get it mounted so I can see a bit of what the driver is doing.

Any thoughts/experience on where to mount one other than to the passenger seat head rest?

Thanks

I have secured a tripod in the back seat before with the back seat seat belts and bungie cords. It worked most of the time, sometimes, you would get 'equipment failure'. Another choice is to get a chase cams lipstick cam and one of those suction cup mounts to mount it to the body or window somewhere. Strap the camcorder in securely where you can get to it, and you are on your way. If you use the chase cam, opt for the external battery supply, you will have a lot fewer heart aches.
