Thanks!
Fixed, added a washer lol I'm an idiot. The camera was not sitting flush and tight against the mount before, there was a gap. I'll make a new video about the new and improved later

^I made a very similar mount last year using PVC pipe and attaching it to the headrest posts with U bolts. One thing I found to be needed (at least with my DSLR) was a base plate of some sort for the camera. The camera would vibrate alot..but a little foam on a piece of would and this was fixed

And Im using a point and shoot not DSLR, I think with a heavy DSLR it would bend the PVC a lot putting a lot of weight towards the DSLR and thus you'd get a lot of vibration cuz its jumpin up n down

Bump my friend and I decided to go for a drive today. We usually go on backroads that we've pre scouted, normally empty, and away from residential areas. Mount does job well I'd say. Hope no one minds me posting a vid of some "spirited driving". Look at the HD goodness!
