Camera Mount
 

I finally got around to editing together a little "promo" video about the Suctapus, a suction cup camera mount system I built. Check it out:

Very nice man!
I hope you have a patent for that. Sure makes mounting stuff A LOT easier.

Good luck on your proprietorship.

Very nice...yeah get a patent for that quick...and how much? :D

Too obvious to patent... Fortunately, I don't intend to make a living off of making them. I built the first one mostly because I wanted a mount for myself and the ones I found for sale online were either way more than I needed (and cost several hundred dollars) or seemed like overpriced toys.

As for price, let's call it $50 plus shipping. That gets you a 2-pad Suctapus like the one in the pictures, complete with a Bogen 3025 tripod head (which is worth $30 by itself, and can be used separately on any quality tripod with 1/4-20 threads).

I also can make a 4-pad version for $60, or if you want the extra-heavy-duty aluminum-frame 2-pad Sucktapus (which looks just like the one in the pictures, but the orange composite frame is replaced with cast aluminum) would also be $60.

A complete kit with 1 two-pad base, 1 four-pad base, and 1 Bogen 3025 head will be $85.

If you already have a tripod head that accepts a 1/4-20 thread, I'll also sell the bases separately. $25 for the 2-pad composite, $35 for a 4-pad or the 2-pad aluminum.

How's that for options! :-P


Here's another video - this time on the side of a late-model Mustang doing a burnout in the parking lot at work...

That sounds pretty decent to me, I'll prolly jump to it in a couple of days.

Soitenly. If I know a zip code, I can tell you what shipping will be.

$5.50 via USPS, or if you happen to be in the Santa Ana area, you can pick it up and save yourself a couple bucks.

I got one of them.

Check the link for a vid of my own. Don't mind the sound of the car, open midpipe.

Cool!

You should put something over the microphone to cut down on wind, though.

Give me the Cross Street in Santa Ana..I live about 5mins from there.

It was just a regular Sony camcorder with that built in mic. I put a piece of tape over it, but it didn't help too much.

I don't have that camera anymore, but the next one I get I'll have to get an external mic with one of those big foam things to cut down on it.
