Re: car mount on freeway

I'm interested in this as well. I just bought a "sticky pod" and I'm going to be doing some tests with this rig next week. I'll post how it goes.

Any one have experience with other rigs?

As you're in LA, look at renting a Matthews Hood Mount Kit.

They're among the best around.
 
Re: car mount on freeway

Last summer I shot a high speed racing sequence on a Philadelphia highway. I mounted my DVX on a tripod (very small one). Pushed the front seat all the way back as far as it would go. Sandbagged the small tripod legs. The tripod even has a crank to elevate the camera. I was able to get some really COOL shots and keep the camera perfectly safe from harm. At one point I even spun the camera around to get shots of me shifting through the gears.

To be going that fast he must have been riding in the sholder. :D

Isn't it weird that we all drive on the same 101 everyday? Just polar oposite ends of it.
