Are there Custom Camera mounts w/o harness bar???
Just like it says, i have been searching for a CUSTOM way to get a camera mount for the 1/4 mile but cant seem to find anything. With my audi the head rests allowed for an arm to hang off them and hold a camera, but it seems i wouldn't be able to do so with the stock recaros. As cheaply as it sounds i was considering doing something with maybe PVC piping or something, but as it sits i am out of ideas... (maybe even support it in the rear window) This is just for the track, but i don't want a harness bar. (also i don't wanna get laughed at by the staging guys at the track so please don't suggest hanging from my rear view mirror with string 
)
Any suggestions, pictures, comments would be appreciated.. thanks

I made a camera mount for HPDE events. Take the Child Seat Piece out of the rear deck and you can bolt a bar in place.
I went to Lowe's picked up a square tube bar, Put a long bolt through it to attach to the car seat hole. I also put a couple of rubber ends on the tube.
Well here are the pics....
Bought everything i needed at Lowes... except for the quick release camera mount. Bought that from B&H video.

I used a sticky pod for my 1/4 vids and stuck it to my sunroof. Worked great for inside the car and was pretty steady as I went 126 mph. All I did was suction it to the glass, used a couple of extension that came with it and turned the camera right side up using the supplied knuckles. I didn't mount it outside the car though.
