This is my weapon of choice. It is the perfect leangth and is only $84.95 on Film Tools as apposed to $111.95 on Vacuum Mounts.

You can also then get a pretty cheap quick release from Manfrotto to fit onto this mount.

Cheap meaning construction wise, or price wise? Do you have a product number or a link? This seems to be the only Manfrotto option I can find http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...en_Imaging_625_625_Quick_Release_Adapter.html I can't seem to find one without the hexagonal head, excluding the RC4 which too won't work...

EDIT: FOUND ONE!!! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...y_Bogen_Imaging_323_323_RC2_System_Quick.html

Between all the experiance I have with Gitzo and Manfroto I have to say that there is nothing cheap about the build of Manfroto's products. They are top notch and that is all I buy anymore.

I've used a manfrotto fluid head on my mount for several cameras. B&H sells this one as a replacement for the 3130 head I use. The quick release works great for me. It is certainly durable and holds up to all the backroads in the Plains. BTW that camera is 5.25 lbs and a considerable investment. I would not let it sit atop that mount without some piece of mind.

I'd like something that could absorb some shock because I normally spot solo and need the camera mount to take up some of the shake when driving.

Jerry that's top notice and I love it. Now if I could get something to work with my laptop rammount I'd be happy.
