a simple way of using a camcorder in a moving car

[islandXpress]

Hello,

i'm using my HV20 to shoot footage while travelling in my car. Being at many places the portability of the gear is very important. I used a "Pod"

http://www.thepod.ca

for some tests and was surprised about the results:

So far so good, but this is only the first step. I'm looking for a way of suspending the pod with the HV20 mounted on a device that acts like a car shock absorber to soften short vertical movements.

Iwas even thinking of replacing the solid plasic beads of my pod with cod liver capsules :hv20-smilie51:

Anyone has an idea?

it seems the pod worked really nicely in the car! such a simple idea, such a good result :)

Which color are you using, the red?

[jmalmsten]

ah.. so that's what those "bean-bags" are for... I've seen them on some camera store-sites... but now I know... thanks;)

If im using just the HV20 then I'm using the small (red) and always a polarizing filter.

With the wide angle lens WD-H43 the the heavier Silver Pod

Cool video , the bubbles were pretty cool.

The pod is awesome. I have a red one and after seeing the link in this threasd I think Om going to get a green or silver one for the offset tripod screw.

I use this all the time for car shots , self portraits , and timelapse shots.

Could you link a car video using that setup?

I love the Pod: it's like a poor man's Cinesaddle (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8461468476508742766) for small cameras!

yea the pod is great, but the problem I have is that I've got a red one, the wide angle lens i got, the WD-H43 is way to heavy to support it (the lens just makes it fall forward. So I should consider getting that silver pod islandxpress is talking about.
