Want to buy a camera mount that'll fit my Hardbar

[Cobra4B]

Going to VIR in two weeks and want to get some in-car action, anyone selling a mount?

Hardbar sells a mount for their harness bar.

I use an I-O Port camera mount which also should clamp onto the harness bar okay if it is round.

B/K has a camera mount too that goes on the harness bar, don't know if it's the same as the I-O port mount or not

[No Doubt]

The Brey-Krause mount is their own. The I/O Port Racing mount is made by I/O Port Racing.

I use the I/O Port mount as well. It offers more adjustability than the B/K from what I've seen.

I use the I/O Port also...I love it. It has a bushing that I think dampens the vibrations in the car. It is very adjustable like posted above.

OK... but anyone selling one =) Guess I might need to buy one.

Cobra I replied to your post on the other forum as well but it looks like this is a good deal for the I/O camera mount. $94.99 shipped http://www.discoveryparts.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=cameras

Just ordered one!

Do these have a quick release plate? Or do you have to screw it into your tripod mount every single time?


As a professional photographer I can tell you the Arca-Swiss and Really Right Stuff products could be added to this and provide a simple clamp that lets you mount/unmount your camera in 3 seconds vs. having to mess with tightening those tripod mount screws everytime.

This is what one looks like (plate screws into your tripod mount permanently, base screws into your camera mount in your car permanently.

Paul,
The I/O port mount doesn't have one of those, but it's doubtful that would be allowed in the SCCA. We have to have our cameras "double captured" meaning screwed to the mount AND a safety lanyard. I've become pretty adept and putting mine in and taking it out.

Same here...I keep the camera mounted in the car most of the time. I have to take it out to charge the battery every couple of days and when I pull video off of it. It only takes me a minute to put it back in.

We have them in stock, they have been redesigned for quick release as well.
