Where are you guying mounting your camera's in the car??

Was thinking of getting those camera stands that goes in the headrest but my DSLR is quiet heavy, it would defo shake/vibrate when I drive.

Any other suggestion?

Get a GoPro and stick it on the side.

Was thinking of a cheaper alternative. GoPro costs £300is (for a new one model)

I want to use my DSLR as that takes HD movies too.

Quality of the iPhone camera is really crap compared to the DSLR quality..

What iphone do you have? What are you doing with your car while recording? Does the mount have to be solid or does can hit have a bit of wiggle?

If you want a solid mount that can deffo take the weight of DSLR this is great http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/ha ... mount.html

I have two of them. They can be mounted inside and outside the car.
