:spyder2: Nice job on the camera looks great .






QUOTE=Lamonster;390879]I really love my Drift HD170 for shooting HD


videos and just started using it with the remote for taking pics. The last time I took pics with it I had it mounted on the trunk and that worked fine but now I'm wanting something a little more fixed. I decided to mount a RAM ball on my side deflector shields on the inside so it doesn't disturb the air flow when the camera is not mounted. You pretty much wouldn't even know it's there if you weren't looking for it. I'm pretty happy with this location. :doorag:

Taken with it mounted on the trunk and shot going down the road.

Just a suggestion, but what about mounting it to the fender support arm in a manner similar to reggys adaptive running lights? Camera always pointed where you're going. And if you have the running lights, it's always illuminated. Mount one on both fenders and you could theoretically make some incredible 3d videos with a camera separation that wide.

Lamont, when you drilled the holes in the deflectors, did you use a special drill bit, or just one that was sharp? I've never drilled a hole in plastic and want to be sure I don't crack it. Also, is there a technique that should be used, such as start out at a lower/faster RPM, etc..??

Thanks!

Nothing special, just not too fast or it will melt the plastic.
