I've been trying to upload videos but I can't get them to transfer, anyone good with nokias?
Doesn't sound bad for a quick idea, but I can still see them getting funny about it not being bolted.
Tempted just to stick it on after I go through the pits although they'll probably just black flag me when they sit it in the windscreen

Not HD mate. I did think about putting it on the helmet too, I have an old helmet I don't care about that I could drill, but the camera would move alot which might be annoying?

Yeah that mount makes it possible to mount the camera in the centre... like this:

Set the seat to exactly the same for tomorrow and use a bit of wood across them, find a better method for the next time?

I think that's the best plan of action so far John

I was trying to think of a way to account for the seats moving but it would get too complicated.

If you ask me nicely Graham you can borrow my headrest mount.

John, the other way is just to mount it through 1 headrest cause there is 2 holes, it will only stick out a short way so won't be too bouncy? That way the seat can still be moved about
Ollie, could you post a picture please so I can check if my camera will fit

That won't hold a Go Pro though, it's just a bit of velcro and a clip

Excellent stuff, if you don't mind me borrowing it Ollie that'd be great. My camera doesn't have a mounting screw hole so it'll have to be stuck
