Camera attachment even on a ball joint to angle to one side or the other:

Imagaine it on the windshield like this - plenty of room around the camera connector to fit a camera with a large base:

Does it have a pretty good grip when glass mounted? The guy who posted photos from his 20D was using the 6-cup version.

Definitely going to give one of these a go.

From their site, a lot of the pictures don't show that arm. Not sure which package to get.

while I cringe at the thought of having any camera, with any mount, on the outside of my car, this one seems pretty stable (inside). I just weighed my camera and it comes in at 1.6lbs. Somewhere on that site, I think they show one of the suction cup mounts holding 75lbs. Ok, I just stuck mine to my dishwasher (I started at the bathroom mirror but quickly realized I would probably rip it off the wall), and I started to deform the front face of the washer before I could pull it off. I now feel much more confident that no little sub-2lb camera is going to pull this off of a window. For security, I'd think the 3-cup is sufficient. For extra stability, you might opt for the 6 cup. I noticed that any vibration/flex in the mount is due to the suction cups being made of rubber/plastic. If you had 3 more, that were spread out by a distance (as the Ultra is), it would help with any pivoting/flex at the suction cup to window connection. This flex is amplified if you have a heavier camera, and/or position the arm extended all the way out to one side [torque = force(product of mass) times distance(from pivot)]. And the ultra is only $13 more. It doesn't look all that easy to convert it back to a 3-cup as the lowest ball mount is rivoted to that small triangle plate (on mine). It would just mean drilling out the rivot and putting a new one (or bolt) in it's place.

Anyway, now after putting some serious human force on this thing, I'm probably going to go take some camera-outside-of-car footage as I feel pretty safe now. I'll be sure to add a tether just in case (so that way the $1000 camera causes $2000 in paint damage to my car)

So the one I want (like yours) is the Camcorder Window Mount for $65?

I'd definitely tether my setup as well, but my first thought is "now if the camera comes loose, it'll bang into the paint on the car." LOL. I think, in the end, I'd rather try and get home owner's coverage of a broken camera for a couple grand than have to have bodywork done. ;-)

Thanks for the extra info. My DSLR setup is considerably heavier, probably closer to 7 or 8 lbs with wide-angle zoom lens mounted. Still not sure if the version you have or the Ultra (6-cup) would work better.

You should mount some type of clear plastic in front of the lense so that stones and rocks don't hit the camera or lens.

Mark P

yes

that's a whole new effort, and anti-aerodynamic
