Last Saturday I posted some test shots of the X-T1 and the Manfrotto 241V Suction Grip using my own Honda Civic as the test car (BLOG HERE) .  Over the past three days I have been on a road trip from Reading in Berkshire to Stuttgart in Germany for a feature I am writing on the Porsche 911 Turbo S.  Why Reading and Stuttgart?  Well Reading is the UK Headquarters for Porsche and Stuttgart is home for the German sports car manufacturer. The reason I bought the Manfrotto 241V was to use on this long drive to get some different angles while I drove.  Using the Fujifilm X-T1 I was able to control the camera through the Camera App on my Google Nexus Tablet. I placed the Manfrotto in several positions on the car, either on the glass or on the bodywork and the vacuum pump built into the 241V provided the grip needed to keep the camera in place and steady.  Speeds were kept to below 50mph but if the Manfrotto did lose grip the camera would’ve been on the road so I used the Peak Design leash and used it as a safety cord when the camera was mounted on the outside of the car……
