Hard mount under front bumper.

[Jims5543]

I am heading to the Blue Ridge mountains this upcoming weekend to play car with some friends.

I always try to get footage of the fun. Last year I put the suction cup mount on the front hood of the car. New paint is making me feel like I do not want to do this anymore.

I noticed some studs sticking out from under the front bumper. Most likely unused front license plate mounts. I picked up a piece of aluminum flat stock, drilled 3 holes and I have myself a neat front mount that should make for some excellent footage.

Footage coming after the weekend.

Looks great!

We've done similar setups on production work and the results are always fun. As a general rule, the lower you can mount the camera the faster it feels like you're moving. We've had them scraping the track (Jay Leno's crew at Monterey Historics) and got some killer views.

I would recommend a CC10 cradle for that camera though. It's much stronger than mounting it from the rear of the camera, especially in a spot like that where you have the potential to pick up possible debris.

Post the video afterwards!

Thanks.

The video looks amazing, my only mistake was letting the PDR sit on the passenger seat. I need to buy a mount for it.

I think the sound is jacked. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply.

Sounds like the audio gain is a little too high. Secure the PDR and bump the sound down a bit and it should sound better.

Nice video!
