sticky pod use during HPDE?

There is a section in the NASA CCR that talks about camera mounts, but only states that the camera must be attached with at least one bolt, and must be secured with a tether if the weight of the camera is over (3 oz I think).

 

From what I know about NASA's regulations, if it is not specifically mentioned as being permissable, then it is most likely not allowed.

 

Check out the CCR link on the NASA homepage. Lots of good info there.

 

If all else fails, contact your region's director.

I know that trackdaze just banned them last week at VIR due to one falling off on track.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with NASA also.

Sounds like a just cause for bolt it down and strap it up for me as NASA Rules state.

 

Last thing I would want on the track is to have something moving around in the car.

 

One time I had a window crank come off and get under my feet. NOT FUN and was very much diverting my attention from driving.

This is what I use on my street car: http://www.filmtools.com/cruisecam.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

 

It clamps onto the seat headrest posts. It's worked out pretty well for me.

 

I would use something like that but can't, but my headrests doesn't come off on my sti seats.

 

I sent an email to regional director, i'll what he says. But thanks for all the inputs.

How does one tether a recorder mounted with a CruiseCam headrest unit?

The tether is to tether the cam to the mount. most cams have a place to attech a wrist strap. use this to tether the cam to the mount. It's just in case the bolt that mounts the cam & mount together vibrates loose, or fails.

If you go to the cruisecam site, you can see the tether in the pics. looks like it's provided with the mount.

Yes, the tether is included with the mount.

I was at Infineon this weekend and finally tested out my mount. Worked out pretty good IMO. Here is the video:
