My new photography gadget :P

Yeah, I know that I said that I will try to stay away from ebay… Anyways, the deal has been made 2 weeks ago and I got it from the post office an hour ago.

This time…. presenting to you……..

**drum-roll**

The “Suction Mount Tripod Holder for Car”

lol. So, as you can see above, it allows you to fix your camera on your dashboard or window using a suction system.

Of course, the D5000 is a bit too heavy to hold on a window, but it looks “ok” on the dashboard of the car. But I will not take the risk to leave my nikon in the hands suction system of a $10 item (+$8 shipping).

If I need to use it, I will prefer to have somebody be in the front passenger’s seat to ensure that the suction does not get loose and fall down under the weight. But I am sure that a small camera (point and shoot) will work great on it.

So, I bought it for shooting videos while driving, mostly in the dark or at sunset when there is enough light and drivers have switched on their headlamps to get a video like this one shot using “les moyens du bord”.

I will probably test it probably during the weekend and keep tuned for the video 😉
