I am wondering which in car mounts you guys use for video. I really prefer the headrest style, because it is out of site.

I would be curious if any of you have made your own?

I wouldn't be opposed to making my own.

The cheapest one I found was for $45.

I just mounted a gopro camera to the rear seat, tried to make a headrest mount but it didn't work out too well. The rear seat mount was simple I made a bracket that screwed into the back of the rear seat then the camera mounts to the bracket. Also I can throw a hat over it when / if I get pulled over and it just looks like the hat is sitting on the rear deck.

I tried it once and the camera saw out the side windows but just picked up a glare off the windshield. I'm tinting the windshield soon and think it will solve the glare issue.

Any pics of the set-up? Did you mean you put the back seat down and screwed into the back of it? Or did you mean in the back window area?

yup, with the rear seat down screw the bracket right into the seat then when the seat is up it sits right above the rear seat / rear deck. I took a pic n my phone i'll try to put it up here.

Until I try it again or tint the windshield I really wouldn't consider it a success yet. . . it really just recored a glare on the front windshield and could not see through it

I was expecting more input from people

I know there are some vendors or people using these things.

If it isn't a head rest mount, what are you using.
