Home Made Video Camera Mount (lots of pics)

Had some free time today at work so I made a camera mount for my new rca small wonder my wife bought me for my birthday. Sample video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfORIAfITJo the video is very shaky. I am going to try a few different things to try and make it more solid will post a new video if I can get it more stable.

EDIT: New test much more stable, rubber bands did the trick, looks a little silly but its cheap :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpKwNAEAfiA








^^^ as you can see its just a piece of plate with 3 holes drilled in it. It slips over the 2 rods on the head rest and the camera bolts to the plate. Any goon with a piece of metal and a drill press can make one.




















It fits very snugly to the headrest and is hard to put on or take off. I have it on the back of the head rest so that the mount can say on the head rest at all times and when I want to use it all I have to do is flip the head rest. I made one short video and it was very shaky I think this is due to the fact that the camera stands upright and the lens is far from the base. I think running a large rubber band around the camera and the head rest will solve this issue. I will post a vid in this thread as soon as I take care of the shakiness. Questions?
