A few nice 2. how to images I found:

How to create a quick and dirty „tripod“ for your point & shoot with your car’s sun visor and two hair elastics.

If you’re wondering how I created the image stability in this recent timelapse of stop and go traffic on the 101, here’s the poop:

1: You’ll need a couple of stretch hair elastics (or rubber bands) and access to a sun visor that detaches on one side.

2: Detach the sun visor on the passenger side of the car. (It’s too distracting for the driver if it’s on their side.)

3: Stretch the two hair elastics over the visor.

4: Turn on the camera, start recording and slide it into place with an elastic on either side of the lens. So, I’ve only ever tried this with a point & shoot that has an external lens. I don’t know if the sticky-outy bit has anything to do with the stability. If you’re point & shoot has an internal lens mechanism, you might want to see how secure this whole set up is. You’ll want to edit the little bit out from the beginning and the end of your video. I use Quicktime Pro.

5: Fiddle around with the camera until it’s level. The elastics should be firm enough to hold any minor adjustments you make to level your camera.

6: Attach the sun visor back into it’s socket-y thing and then fiddle around with the angle to include (or not) as much of your car’s hood (bonnet) as you’d like. It might take a few videos until you determine what angle you like most.

7: When you’re done, ease the camera out from behind the elastics and voila, you’re done.

Note: It should go without saying that you should not attempt to affix your camera while you’re driving.
