Over the weekend, I met up with a few Crossfire drivers, and one has a rig for mounting his camera on his car. It’s all done with suction cups.

He added a third leg fixed to the boot lid to stabilise the camera even more after I took this picture.

This is the kind of photos he can take with the rig. It’s very solid. He takes it on tracks.

:D

If anyone rigs something similar (I once did it using magic arms and a video camera in uni) just be very careful of where you put the camera.
I've seen a professional driver forget that the fire engine he was driving had a rig on the side, and drive the whole lot straight into a lamp post.
www.stickypod.com make great kits at reasonable prices, fwiw.

Ooh, imagine it with a 3stop filter on it :D

Nice crisp image of the car and motion blur from the road!
