Cool keep us updated as I wanna start saving for one.
I just made a temp one out of my GPS mount and a cheap (read FAKE) gorillar tripod that I had. Stuck the 2 together with insulation tape and then glued the tripod in position. Will be testing it later. Only problem so far is it is now in 1 position, so can only be used attached to the front windscreen in my car, cant move it around cause then it will be facing the wrong direction

I tried that. Only a dedicated mount to hold the weight of a camera will work. The one i have as in the pics on this thread is very strong and works brilliantly. But if i can get the local one for cheaper will make a good present.

Safety is paramount when choosing a mount...you don't want it fly against the windows or your head when stopping suddenly. :thinker:

Cool thanks was looking for this mod, went driving in town with a friend in his car this Tuesday and found 2 people who wanted to race and we talked about getting a mounting thingy to do some clips with his HD camera.

The "Panavise 809 Camera Window Suction Cup Mount" finally arrived today.

It is one hot little mounting mod.:thumbsup: The quality is much better than the RAM mount which i reviewed in this thread. It feels and is studier/strong and has less connecting bits. The suction mount is larger in diameter and "sucks"...:) strongly on the window surface compared to the RAM unit.

I like the simplicity of the design; classy looks and one amazing locking mechanism (Press) to secure the unit.

Other comparisons:
1. Not as long as the RAM mount when you fasten it to the sunroof...so handling the camera looking up takes a bit of practice.
2. It cannot move in many directions like the RAM. so you have to choose fixed points.

Summary: However, I prefer this new Panavise mount to the RAM....:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I see the same company has other mounting products as well...outside the car mounting etc... will look at those in the future...

Ps...this was meant to be a present for my friend Revo but now he has to wait for the next shipment...me like this toy too much...:excited: sorry buddy...:bawling:

Thanks Matt, ....i realised that i was just as lost as you...(and that i was not alone)....when i first heard about Jezebel...:)...heeeeee

I thought:

1.Our wives have given up (trying to save us) long ago...hey?
2. Jezebel does not have a boyfriend (i hope not) and Twinz is such a flirt, perhaps they could hook up?
3. I share your passion for BMW/Cars and modding almost to the point of "strangeness"...you know when people say...daai ou is nie lekker nie?...that kind of thing.
4. I am also not very competitive (Jezebel appears same). i just like to make the car distinctive and extracting all its potential within its limits compared to the rest...

Will you join us (Exclusively M) on 15 December at Spier...it would be great to chat and just look at our cars adoringly...:thumbsup:
