Rather than shelling out the money on a gopro I wanted to look into a dslr mount for my Nikon D3100 for filming trail rides, and taking still photos along the way.

Has anyone attempted a mounting system for in the cab? I know on my passat we would clip my buddies mount on the metal headrest supports but the XJ doesn't have an adjustable headrest. Seems like the only place would be on the dash, unless I upgraded/changed the front seats.

Would rather not do all of that if there is a simple/easier way to make a mount.

 

Wrong section to post this, just a FYI

 

Has anyone fabbed a mount? That better?

 

duct tape. I would look into finding a small tripod, or one of the handle mounts. Shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.

 

This section is about actual fabrication, not "did anyone fab anything up yet?"

 

Perhaps you should've clarified that in your initial post rather than your super helpful "wrong section to post this". Just an FYI.

 

Rules here. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/re...-9-12-a-85599/

 

Thank you sthon

 

Lol.


That doesn't appear on the app I use. Just an FYI.

 

Also, if its taboo to have post this here, why haven't you moved it yet?

 

I was wondering the same.

 

shrug, I'm not a moderator.

 

This thread is great

 

Don't get mad because you didn't read the rules. There is even a thread so the people on the app can see.

If you're camera has a threaded insert into the bottom for a tripod, take a piece of 4"x4" steel plate, drill a hole in the middle, thread a bolt through and into the bottom of the camera and mount the plate on the dash. Easy peasy.

Or just run a bolt through the dash and into the bottom of the camera.
