Trackday Camera Mounts

I was wondering about buying the headrest one, does it fit all camera`s? as i dont know too much about the different variations etc.

Its £50.00 and seems pretty simple, would this be approved for trackday use and does it come with a certificate of conformity.

Cheers

Did your camera mount come with any sort of cerificate to prove that its trackworthy, why i ask is that i can build one as they are very simple in design.

The headrest mounts are OK, but you are limited with the type of shots you can take. The suction mount can be used almost anywhere.

I've got the suction one (as above) and the added advantage is that you can also get this that works with it:

This means when you are in a convertible or Caterham etc you can use it on the roll bars/cage to get an unobstructed view.

I don't know why I'm claiming that to be me (I should pretend it's not and escape from the ridicule) but was that filmed on 02/04/03?

It's just that there are not many Amulet Red TTs around and I'm sure even less that track them.

If 02/04/03 - it's me.
If not - it's someone else.
