I finally installed an I/O Port Camera Mount
on the crossbar just behind and between the seats of the Impreza. Its
perspective is just above the shoulder which may be a little low, but
the mount can easily be moved to one of the diagonal braces without
blocking my rear view. I used electrical tape to protect the cage from
scratching, but I may add a rubber or urethane donut around the bar to
act as a secondary vibration dampener since the mount will accept up to a 2"
pipe.
Since I installed the mount, I decided to get my Canon ZR50 MC MiniDV
camera ready for the season. It's a good thing I checked—after a few years of use it has finally succumed to the eating tapes problem
that older Canons are famous for. It looks like the camera is now a
record-only unit because high-speed fast fowarding and rewinding causes
the problem. Good thing James picked up a couple of MiniDV cameras so
we have backups to capture video.
