Any suggestions on a mount for the dash or rollbar for a digital video camera?

How about this flexible tripod:

Lots to choose from:

I saw it at Woodward a few years ago. From what I saw, it's better to mount it on a seat in which someone's sitting, to cut down on vibration.

I found the bracket I used to use for mounting surveilance cams in cop cars. PM if you want it to play with...

I have a home made version of this.

The comment about having a passenger is spot on. I was not happy with the quality of the videos I got. Too much shake, vibration and alignment issues during road course events. I will do a search for some mounting points that will mate with the child seat latch point.

If you have a roll bar I think the fast guys weld on a bracket specifically for a video cam.

velcro works great.
