Camera mount base RAM-B-202A $15
3 inch arm RAM-B-201 $18
Clutch/brake clamp base RAM-B-309-1 $18. When I got this part it had this "Handlebar spacer for smaller bars (1/2 inch) RAP-319 $3" already in it. I've been trying to upload a photo but there seems to be a glitch in the system. There is a photo of the vehicle interior and camera mount in this blog

Very busy cabin Mick.

Is there a reason that you did not use the window suction mount?

Phil

Mike

I would like to thank you for the advice as I have now purchased and installed the parts as you suggested and video works a treat.

Cheers Vern

Goodo Vern Glad it all worked out for you. Very happy with mine as well. Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy some travel epics in the near future.

Cheers Mick

Apparently no one bothered to answer my question.

We are looking at a suction mount for the windscreen.

I will ask again. And I AM NOT trying to be smart.

Mick, is there a reason that you did not use the window suction mount?

Phil

PhilI bought a suction mount how ever with the angle of the window screen i could not fit the video camera. The mount set up sugested by Mick for me is a lot better and another reason is I already have Gps / tyredog and reversing camera screen on the window and it is starting to get a bit crowded.

Cheers Vern

Sounds crowded. Do you think the angle was a problem with that mount or could it be a "product wide" issue.

Dual suction mount

We are looking at this one. Its for a 100 series 4.2TD Landcruiser.

Any advice?

It will be the ONLY thing on or above the dash and anywhere near the windscreen. The only other thing not in the dash is the UHF and its mounted on the side of the console. The GPS is in the dash. Don't carry a PC or anything like that.

Phil,

cost and real estate. I also tend to travel solo a lot so needed to be in a position to use the camera. Due to the amount of room the tri-suction mount takes up on the windscreen (refer:- Real Esatte) it's not a viable option.

Members Scott and Gaby used a suction mount on our last trip. I wasn't overly impressed with its stability.

Very happy with the cheaper option (camera must have an inbuilt stability platform though).

Cheers Mick.

The stability platform function worries me about upping the cost too high. For us photography comes after the car as far as budget is concerned.

But we shall see.

Thanks for the hints

Phil

Phil, it sounds like you are yet to buy your Video Camera. Need not be too much of an issue as most major brands offer a stability/anti-shake function as standard in their better models. If I had my chance over, I'd buy well after the current models have been released. Buying near the end of model makes a lot of sense. For example, my Sony HDx cost me $1600. Only 8 months later I could have picked it up for $699 as an and of model runout at any number of camera stores. OK I needed it then but......! Something to consider.

Cheers Mick.
