one example of a hood mount rig - dozens of arrangements are possible

features:

  • Safely secures professional camera packages under high-gee maneuvers.

  • Frame movement can be adjusted from locked to "shaky cam."

  • Using a variety of suction cups, camera platforms, clamps, rods, and pins, you can build any rig you can imagine to safely secure a camera or lighting instrument to a vehicle.

  • If one suction cup fails, other cups keep the rig secured to vehicle.

  • Web ratchet straps add an additional layer of security.

straight-talk:

  • This system prefers a smooth finish with which to create an air-tight seal underneath the suction cups.  It also works great on vehicles with damaged finishes by using additional ratchet straps.  We'll help design a rig for your picture car.

two RED One cameras mounted on a picture car using the Tinker-toy car-mount system.
The vehicle was recalled from its crash stunt for a pickup scene. 
Note the plates screwed and glued to the car to provide mounting points for the suction cups.  We also simply drove baby nail-on-plates into the doors to provide additional mounting points for the rig.
