By the way I need a car mount which can stand good speed over 100Km/h (60m/h), and heavy acceleration to mount on Porsche or Ferrari... |

I purchased the Gripper 3025 from Filmtools. This thing is awesome. Way better (and cheaper) than my StickyPod. I drove around on bumpy, brick streets at about 50mph - no problems. The coolest thing about this vacuum cup is the push button with the red line... the red line lets you know when you need to pump it up some more.
The only downside I found is that you have no failsafe (besides a tether). So you could build your own rig (they sell the individual components) w/ multiple suction cups and use your favorite camera head. example |

But you also might be able to save a few bucks by piecing it together yourself (they sell the suction cups, clamps, rods, etc. separately). Quote:
Just be sure to clean the surface and suction cup beforehand (dirt and grit could scratch the paint). |

Has anyone used the DvCarRig from DVTec? Looks like a good system but I'm curious how robust the suction cups are compared to the FilmTools Gripper. (?)

Hello Robert,
I have used the FilmTools gripper for easy. quick shots.... A more robust system is needed for heavy duty shots.... The DVrig looks interesting....... Whatever you do make sure you have plenty of safety straps connected at multiple points - especially if driving in traffic!! |

Probably,
There are different models and configs.... I have played with one gripper and you can get some vibration induced movements.... I think a three point system is necessary to reduce the vibrations.... You might even look at the Cine Saddle, kinda like a glorified bean bag.... That takes a little more to mount with multiple bungie cords and such. http://www.abelcine.com/store/produc...cat=360&page=2 |

I thought the Gripper was the 3-point suction-mount system, it wasn't clear to me from the website that the 3-point system is actually made up of several Grippers and mounts. Now I get it.
I would only consider a 3-point mount both for stability and added safety (along with tethers) so it seems either the Gripper or DvCarRig would work - question is how the 2 compare to each other. Anyone have experience with both?
