    Extreme camera mount

    With legs this length, I'm surprised it's stable enough.
    Yes, the camera really is in the top right, mounted to the car.
    I think the legs were as long as I am tall.
    I tried it and the suckers hold it down really well.

    Re: Extreme camera mount

    lol, I think Frog has hit on the pertinent point!

    That is a pretty insane mount. But I bet it would give some really cool views for commercials or art type shots.

    If you haven't seen it, you should check out the camera mounts they used on the Neuman-Haas CART car for the Doc/Movie Super Speedway. 80lb IMAX (70mm???) at 225 mph. No suction cups. - TF

    BTW - They call the 80lb IMAX camera, "the little one."
