I did add a round disc that I had from an old camera mount - but you could use a hex nut instead.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I couldn't find a camera mount that would work for video taping footwork. I tried a bunch of different set-ups, and nothing worked with my cameras. I could have ordered a bullet cam and routed the wiring under the seat, but I already have 2 cameras and don't want to explain to the wife why I need another one. So I went down to Home Depot today and walked the store for an hour or so to brainstorm ideas for a DIY camera mount. As it turns out, I found a PERFECT mount - for $2.79. It is a 3/8" grounding clamp found in the electical department. It looks like this: DSC03585.JPG DSC03586.JPG As it turns out the screws/threads used on this clamp are EXACTLY the same size as the standard camera mounting hole. How convenient. [It actually came with screws that had a head for a slotted screwdriver, but I switched over to some hex head ones I had lying around.] Pictures of the assembled mount: DSC03589.JPG No extra work needed - the camera simply screws onto the exposed bolt. I did add a round disc that I had from an old camera mount - but you could use a hex nut instead. This does 2 things: it adds a little stability to the camera and allows you to get the camera pointed in the right direction and then "lock" it down from underneath the camera. I have Cobra Imola racing seats with standard pull up bars to adjust the seat. I simply added some racer's tape to the seat adjuster (pull-up) bar, and mounted the clamp directly to it. I positioned it so the camera is directly in the middle of the bar. Set up this way, the camera is unobtrusive and does not interfere with driving. DSC03570.JPG DSC03574.JPG Link to video (also embedded below) [EDIT: this video is me driving around my neighborhood pushing pedals for the test video - trying to figure out if the camera is positioned correctly to catch foot movement. The footwork is just illustrative and was not intended to evaluate performance, but to illustrate/verify that the contraption would actually work on the track.]

POST 2Original post

awesome man! nice footwork too! Wish I have moves like that...

POST 3Original post

HS, Are those bowling shoes? Just kidding. The only problem I see with your solution is it's pretty hard to figure out what you are doing. Usually foorwell cams are PIP over an external cam. It looks like you have good foot control but I'm confused why you combine right and left foot braking in the same brake zone. That causes you to come off the brake which doesn't make sense. I'm probably missing something. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Jim

Don't knock the bowling shoes! +10 HP. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm just driving around my neighborhood, pushing on the pedals for the test video. I wanted to see if there was enough light and if my foot movement interefered with the camera. This wasn't a video to evaluate performance, but to illustrate/verify that the contraption would actually work on the track. My next event is over the next weekend. I'm going to try some overlays then. I may have to get some new software though or at least RTFM to figure out how to PIP. BTW, I think the double braking zone was when someone pulled out in front of me by a McDonalds -td

What a great idea and excellent results with an inexpensive but effective parts solution. Well done!

That makes sense. You had me confused. Your solution works great.
