Camera Mounting

How do you mount a cam to a rollercoaster? I've been tryin to figure out how they do it and where they get the stuff to do it forever.

they use duck tape

0_0 Seriously. I bet people get stared at while trying to mount the camer with duct tape. I can almost imagine myself being in the middle of attention trying to mount the camera..

From what I've seen on TPR videos they do just tape the camera down on the front of the car. I bet there are more professional ways to do it though.

Do me a favor, ducktape it to your face to get a POV because if I find ducktape residue on one of my rides I will definately Chuff you up.

LMFAO

From my understanding TPR has a lipstick camera that they just tape to the harness or the front of the car, or they actually get the park to let them tape on the ride and they help em out as much as possible.

Then the professional offical video stuff is literally a giant rig that they attach to the train and put cameras on.

I think I'll stay away from the TPR approach.

he runs safety and maintenance and bunch of bs for SF parks, SixFlagsFiesta is actually the real deal.

do what im doing, im getting a chest harness made by mu aunty, its will hold the new camera im getting safly and will fit in any otsr apart from the 4-d coasters. it will be done for next season

Erm mountain bike helmet cams or similar id imagine, like Actioncam, they're this little 'bullet' cam that u plug into a (compatible) camcorder.
However if ur attaching cams to rides then ud probably have to be working on the scale of TPR anyway coz i seriously doubt the parks let any random peep do it.

but does he own and/or design them? didn't think so

He adopted them, their his babies.

anyway! does anyone know of any kind of affordable way to mount a cam to either a coaster or a handle bar or something

the best way is to sew the camera handle to a glove. its a cheap way but recks your camera handle

Dude if you wear that, the next meet will be awesome!
Like one of those G-Suites Okomoto used to wear whilst testing his coasters[lol].
