C300: Car Interior Shoot with C300

[KyleProhaska]

Does anyone have any specific suggestions for mounting a C300 for car interior shooting, particularly in the top corners of the car? The camera is a little large compared to a DSLR. I'm open to any suggestions. I plan on doing these shots with the car stationary and poor mans process (the scenes are at night). Shooting through the windshield is possible but I don't want to be forced to do that the entire time.

Thoughts?

I've used suction cups mounted to the windows when shooting inside a car or most often just do handheld with some sort of support underneath.

I guess you the suction cups of the legs can be attached to one of the windows and the windshield. Jim may be able to tell us better.

Shooting through the windshield will drop the quality due to the windshield glass inbetween. Personally I would love to hear the options as I may need to do one such shoot later.

I have one of these Fat Gecko triple mounts.

Works quite well with a heavier camera. They're rated up to 8 lbs and the grip is confident. If you're recording internally on the c300 and using a smaller lens mounted MB then I think you would be fine. You can actually buy more than one and cobble them together for even more support. Crazy affordable by industry standards.
