Default Lipstick Camera Mount - HELP

I am looking for a nice method to mount a lipstick camera to the rollbar. My roll bar is larger than the VD. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If anyone has a source for aerodynamic camera housings, I'd like that.

What is the biggest difference between the POV1 camera and the chase cam? POV is around $550 and chase is almost twice that? I have a Gopro now and I always forget to turn the dam thing on it would be nice to have it wired to the car and have a button to trun it on when seated.

I like the one Greg Pizzo (On Board Video) has available for the POV and Chasecam cameras:

A couple of nice features of the POV are the color viewing screen on the recorder, it insures correct camera placement, and offers instant viewing of your clip. Also, the handy little remote control can be attached within easy reach of the driver so you can turn it on or off. It is RF so you don't need to try and reach the recorder, which isn't always easy to get to, especially in a formula car.

We offer a handy little bar mount that will work with a variety of cameras, including bullet cam, $19.95. Also have a nice carbon streamlined mount.

Special pricing for Apexspeed members, but you willl have to email or call.
