Does anyone one have a video camera mounted either on the windshield or between the head rests?
I have older(7years old) digital Sony but no way to mount it.
The desire is to use the existing one, powered off the rear power charger...
GoPro has a windshield mounted all in one for $180.
Thoughts, suggestions, links are appreciated...

I've been using this one for a few years. Works well for me, and costs <$50:

can you post a video or link one to see the vibration?

Oh, it vibrates, but not enough to bother me. In-car video isn't exactly Oscar-worthy stuff, after all! ;-)
Get the version that clamps to BOTH headrests if you want something more stable.

I hear ya, it is "amazing" the the website video is super stable...
Even with image stabilization built into today's video cameras, it isn't perfect science.... yet...
Makes me feel like I am riding along with Richard Petty in the 70's in car camera...
