Very stable headrest mount, which mounts onto both driver and passenger headrest pillars for maximum stability.
Has enough adjustment to allow both seats to be reclined at different angles.

Frequently used and seen in race and track cars with roll cages.

Includes a security strap that fulfils SCCA regulations, and helps with MSA scrutinizing as it provides a secondary safety measure in the event of an accident.

The head of the unit is actually a re-branded Manfrotto tripod head, so it gives plenty of adjustment, and a smooth, fluid action.
The base has an elastomer bushing that reduces a little vibration from getting to the camcorder.


PROS

CONS

Very strong
Race ready
Suitable for many sizes of camcorders, although the smaller they are the less vibration they will suffer.

Quite expensive
