Hi there,

I'm looking for a Camera Car Mount that works with the Sony EX1 and the Letus extreme adapter...I'll be shooting a feature film and more than 30% of the film is going to be in cars... :(

could someone recommend me any good Camera Car Mount for this package? and a cheap one? ;D

Thanks a lot...

I am ordering the Microdolly car mount system. It ain't cheap though, I think it's around $2,200 smackaroos. http://www.microdolly.com/micro_6.html

Sticky Pod also makes camera mounts of various sizes and cost. http://www.stickypod.com/

I'm sure there's more I'm not aware of, but from what I understand these two I listed are pretty reputable.

Are you going to use it with the EX1 and the Lex as well? I've seen the stickypod allready but I'm not sure if thats good enough...

I won't be using any 35mm adapters, at least not at first. I may get the Ultimate when it comes out, but most of my stuff will be shot with the stock lens or a wide angle adapter. I'm not shooting cinematic stuff, I'm shooting wilderness adventures so I need to stay as light as possible. I don't know much about the Sticky Pods, but their website says the "Director" Sticky Pod will handle full sized cameras, but I have no personal experience. I'm going with Microdolly on the mounts, jib, and dolly. The price hurts, YOWCH!, but it only hurts once when you buy the good stuff.

:D the only problem would be that I'm living in Switzerland ;D so I guess it's a little harder to schedule everything ;D but thx for the input.

These guys make some nice ones.

Their suction cups are the best in my opinion.
