so getting ready for my track days i did some surfing and just decided to build my own mount for my canon sd780is. rather than spend $40-50 online and i wanted to see some of my hand movement so did this.

i did vids in 720p but they're HUGE so ill have to make smaller 1s tomorrow and post them up.

also got some shank lugs in from summit racing. they're what you SHOULD run on oem g37 wheels.

$10 at home depot



mock-up



pipe insulation used to dampen vibration



only a couple screw-ups when drilling for the u-bolts



final product from my phone



widescreen view just like vids are made



3x zoom



flat lug base of the oem g37 wheel



tuner (cone) vs shank (flat)



and the sunset as i was walking in lol

 

Looks good... i need to get a decent camera and make one of those lol

 

ya i recently replaced my sd850is with the sd780is. its a lot smaller and pic quality is better plus i get 720p video. plus i ran the 850 into a wall oops. 780 is pretty cheap now - around $250 i believe.

 

Nice. Get some vids up!

fixed

 

right thats what i meant.

vids should be up tomorrow. ill try out the medium and low resolutions. just ran out of daylight today.

 

Sweet rig.

 

nice woady! ill build one myself for our cruises
thanks!

 

I am about to build one as well

 

srsly. even its for fun - $10 and a hour or 2 and you're set. do it up!

 

Nice work Macgyver

 

what happened to the bubble gum additive?

 

what do you thinks holding on my splitter?

 

lol!!!!!!! looks good i need to get me one of those !

 

here are the vids i made over the last couple days with my new mount. tried all 3 resolutions and zoomed vs normal. decided im going with normal at lowest resolution for the first weekend. quality is decent enough and i can get much more footage to go over. plus i want the wider view of the track. i can always change the next time.

high res normal


high res 3x zoom


med res normal


med res 3x


low res normal


low res 3x

 

not bad there is little to no vibration !
