Has anyone tried mounting a tiny video cam on this? (yes, I know they make one with the camera already mounted...) Thx!

Provided that you got one that's extremely light, that shouldn't be a problem. I don't recommend it for FPV, use an AR Drone or a DJI Phantom for that.

I had to look up your camera type. It is a mini DV cam and seems too large in body size to be able to be mounted on this Arkon, unless you do it upside down (you would not get enough clearance for a forward view, as the arm is not long enough). Also, I would not advise trying to use it with this mount, as it may exceed the safe weight to hold on securely, after an extended period of time, and it may bounce around too much, while the car is in motion, due to its weight on the mount.

I did not try that before. However, there is a screw at the bottom of the unit probably for this purpose. It looks similar to camera mount.

It can be mounted sticking straight up as seen in the product image, but the on-screen date-time etc. information printed on the video will be upside down. Also the device only rotates between two points at about 90 degrees so there's that to consider.

Hi and I hope my response is helpful. I used the tripod mount to video tape my students while they were giving oral presentations. It was easy to mount and it held the iPad in its place during all the video tapings- no problems whatsoever. There might be a more sophisticated- more robust mechanism out there, but this one worked well for my purpose and budget.

Hey eyeball, I need the same thing basically. My Question is this: I would like to use this camera as an HD feed for a monitor. Can I leave it in record mode (without recording) and get a feed without it shutting off? Did it end up working okay for you??? If not what did you get?

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

I actually do not know, I haven't used the video feature very much, and when I have, I have used it outdoors. I will have to test this. I will post my findings after I try it out!

Sorry man, your thinking of live video feeds, this camera is not able to do that. I wish it did but all it does is capture and do playbacks.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

if you mean what has become called 'selfies', i really have never tried that. video in general is of a very good quality however. if you were to put it on a tripod and kick it into gear, that would be awesome stuff i am sure. let me know how it works out... :-)

I have not. Be sure to check the specs on the Cam. Some take specific cards. My cam uses any Micro SD Card and this one works great in it.

I want to watch videos on mine, too, so I had the same question. I found a discussion on http: / / tinyurl . com / 6zzv6y (sorry for the weird link, when I tried it before, Amazon wouldn't let me post it.) Apparently, out-of-the-box, videos stutter a little but with some tweaking, it can be smoothed out but maybe not perfectly.

I had the same issue (well... and still have it)... the thing is the volumen is so, so low, that you have to almost speek directly to the camera and not farther than a few centimiters... 2 o 3 cms., then you will hear the sound on the App. In few words, its useless for baby monitoring. My cameras are now "safe" in a drawer... :S

Hey Jim, My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.
