  • This is all the equipment needed to install this cool little camera mount into your car—you’ll also need about five minutes of your time. In order to get a proper fit, you must raise the headrest and secure the unit as close to the actual headrest as possible. Then just push the headrest back in, mount the camera, and go drive to a favorite spot you’ve always wanted to film.

  • Included in the kit are two small rubber pieces. A word of advice: The camera mount won’t fit snugly enough on VWs without them. This particular kit was made for Audi/VW. The bars that slide into the seat top are smaller in diameter than an Audi, so it’s necessary to use them for the installation. I found that it mounts easiest if you use two slivers of electrical tape to secure the rubber pieces around the headrest bars, then fit the assembly on top of that.

Pertinent Info: If you happen to be anything like me, you love the use of your backseat—not to mention that putting a bulky rollcage in a car you use daily can be awkward, to say the least. Until recently, the only camera-mounting option for the rollcage-less was to get your tripod and rig it into the backseat somehow. Thanks to the guys at RennTechnik Motorsport, you no longer have to worry. The SpeedMount camera mounting system is constructed of T6-6061 billet aluminum with a gray anodized finish and has a very sturdy fastening system. It is available for most makes and models of cars with adjustable headrests (front or rear), so go check out the Web site and pick one up for yourself.
