Found some, one that looks particularly good is the "Super Clamp with Double Ball Tilt Top Head"

Looks good, cheaper than the one I found as well. But will it fit on a diagonal cage bar?

Exhaust clamp with a bit of flat bar welded to it and a M6 bolt. Cost me £1.20 and its lighter than anything you can buy :D

Go pro is usually the one you think of first, then again you want quality and sound too, most go pro videos sound quality is decent..

Then again you don't expect mic's to last with high DB inside the car

Looks really good that! Video was good, 5:22 looked awesome!!

May invest in one of these. Though they was more expensive than that

Get a go pro hero 2, I got mine in america 2 weeks ago, (much cheaper than uk)

It just amazes me with the quality.

The rattling in that video is from the camera, BTW. I get the same rattle using that camera on my mount.

My mount is: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ultra-clamp.html BTW.

The normal price is £300 but since #2 came out Amazon dropped the price of the 1st one. I needed a digital camera and thought I may as well go for a Hero and pay the extra money.

Thanks for all the replies lads, I'm really tempted to go for GoPro Hero but it seems priceyashen I already have a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 camera with AVCHD video recording...

What do you reckon lads?

If you've already got a camera, why fork out for a new camera and mount, when you can just get a mount and be done? ;)

That's what I was thinking... But then mine is a camera (not a video recorder) when all said and done....

So's mine, and I think the vids that come from mine are relatively acceptable. I'd say, buy a cheap mount, see what the video comes out like, if you're not happy, sell the mount, and buy a GoPro, you're not gonna lose that much money on the mount really.
