Close up of car mount, so simple, so cheap, and so cool.

Nice! Got a link to where to buy one?

 

[tylerindo1]

hey, i got mine at toolspot.co.uk, this was the only one i could find online that wasn't cheap plastic, search for the Am-Tech Aluminium Double 80kg Suction Cup Glazing Lifter Dent Puller

I have an upcoming shoot where I plan to anchor a camera to a banana boat (that tubular inflatable thingy). Do you think this suction cup will stick to the curved cross section of the banana boat?

 

[tylerindo1]

you of course have to rig up the u bolt, but that is easy, 3/8 inch u bolt will fit most bolt mount tripod heads.

also get a few extra washers and lock washers, those are a must to keep the bolt on tripod head from coming loose while sitting on the ubolt.

i don't think so, but its worth a shot. even mounting to the car hood it needs to be on a flat spot or it won't stick...rubber would be another issue all together. i'd be interested to see how to rig a camera to a banana boat.

That worked out great. The vid was pretty funny.
