Ok, so it mounts to the headrest posts?

Yeah, the U bolts go around the posts. I thought about using another bar to bolt to the other side of the posts, but the U bolts work just fine.

You may want to use wingnuts with the design to make it easier to detach.

Do you have a link or something that you forgot to post?

Also, I saw a guy with an Integra who built a mount that took the place of the headrest. He just yanked the headrest out, then dropped the camcorder mount in. Pretty slick.

You could also mount it on a harness bar, which reminds me: Does anybody have a harness bar? Where did you get it? How does it mount? I've been looking for this info for a while but never found anything. Thanks.

Here's one that I came across on the ERDT list. Pretty good idea if you ask me.

This one would work great if you had a car without headrest posts. Also you can mount the camera higher as well in any car. Little more work though.
