Steve Robinson Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Found a great little bullet cam mount that uses two connecting loops of velcro and rubber blocks for strapping the camera to the rollbar. Fits really securely (and was only £8.99!) but just wondered if scrutineers would have any issues with it compared to a proper bolt style clamp?

Jason Plato Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I tried velcro once and the sprint scrutineer told me I needed a more permanent fastening - I bought the little G clamp from Jessops for £13 and that has been approved many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Dave, can't find any reference to a G Clamp on the Jessops site. Don't suppose you've got a link or another name for it? Other option would be to add a cable tie over the top of the velcro, would that satisfy them do you think? Steve PS - Actual product is the double hook and loop mount here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 typed in clamp on the jessops site and here it is Ignor all the tripod stuff - that comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl0498 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Guys, A couple of comments on cameras mounted on the cars: - As David has correctly pointed out the camera does need to be securely mounted - and it does have to be presented to the scrutineer for inspection - NOT attached afterwards. Please remember you must not change anything on the car (including wheels etc) after it has been scrutineered without checking with a scrutineer. - E.12.19.5 ALL cameras must be approved by the event organiser - which means in practise the Secretary of the Meeting. This is to protect any licensing rights which may have been sold etc at a meeting or venue. DO NOT simply assume that you have permission. Please contact the Secretary of the meeting at sign-on or afterwards and before the car is scrutineered. I have never known permission to be refused - but please follow the protocol. Best Regards, Brian Clerk of the Course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thanks Brian. In your opinion would a combination of velcro strap with a cable tie over the top be considered good enough by most scrutineers? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Powell Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Would it not work with jubilee clips Go on then just one more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl0498 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Not sure Steve without seeing it - I suspect a more rigid type of mounting is much preferred. I guess it will also keep the pictures a bit sharper too? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
