• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Video Camera Dash Mounts

Yeah, I don't doubt the velcro holds well. I even wondered about holding so well you'd have trouble with the back. I was just curious about if that Jotto setup included the nylon straps like I have or not. They've held up pretty well over time.
 
I really wanted the Video Innovators mount that Bill Hark showed pictures of, but unfortunately it is no longer made. I contacted Video Innovators several months ago and they no longer make it and didn't have any left in stock.

So I rigged up a dash cam using Ram mount parts. But I just got a new vehicle and I'm starting over with my setup. I purchased the following multipod and I'm going to give it a try.

I've done some modifications to it and I think it is going to work out ok. It seems stable and is extremely portable. It sets up similar to the Video Innovators rig. I may give it a test run tomorrow and I'll post how it worked out.
 
I'm curious abuot why Video Innovators stopped making these. I wish I'd known they were going to halt production---I actually threw one away a few years ago when the suction cups wore out and bought a new unit. I swear by it. I'll definitely make custom repairs to the one I have as long as I can. Frankly, I've yet to see a solution I like better.

I have used the Video Innovators mount for years now and love it. I have seen many types of mounts and have tried a few but this is the best so far. The only thing I wish it had come with was a quick release but you can custom make one if you really want. I like this mount becuase of its hard construction and stable shooting platform. I have the 3rd leg mounted into my Galls center console where my radios are mounted. I get steady shots even while driving (except dirt roads ofcourse). I havent checked but I bet you can find one on Ebay. I would check but I am at work and we cant access Ebay here (damn WebSense software).
 
I've been watching eBay and haven't seen one yet. So if anybody want's to sell theirs let me know...... :lol:
