cool... I have a PC5 and a tripod.... I feel some vids coming on....

I use a tripod. I put one leg behind each of the front seats and secure them to the rear seat fixing points with large cable ties.
The other leg gets pushed into the middle of the rear seat (as if you were trying to push it into the boot). This pushes the whole thing against the front seats.
Not an easy thing to descibe, but then they never are!
I'll get some picci's next time I do it.

I was thinking of getting some in-car video footage with a digital camcorder. Anyone got any suggestions for the best way to go about it i.e. best camcorders on the market, how to mount the camera etc? Stef if you are reading this, how did you set up your Ring recording equipment?

Get the smallest camcorder you can afford - the lighter it is, the less likely it is to move about (I use a Sony PC5).

Either get one of the windscreen mounted 'sucker' based holders or use a tripod with 3 adjustable legs - stick one on the transmission tunnel (behind the center console) and the others into the gap in the rear seats.

I use the latter, which has the advantage of being able to get the speedo and driver's face (from the rear view mirror) into the shot if desired.

Oh, don't forget extra batteries and plenty of DV tapes.....

Only of the car please Dave

I have a PC110 and tend to use it stuck to the windscreen with a sucker cup.

Not tried the tripod approach sounds good though.
