I came across this great idea whilst searching for possible reasons for knocking noise on the hippo.



I have a go pro so will give that a try to see if I can see what is going on. Clever idea.
 
I used the same technique for checking the bushes in my Discovery 3 (the vehicle recorded on that video). The rear bushes on the lower arms are hydrobushes and fail with alarming regularly :(
The Freelander bushes last much longer.

I've used an old Galaxy S 3 phone taped to the chassis before now with good results. Luckily the phone didn't fall off!
I have a USB endoscope too which I use for the same thing, also taped into place underneath.
 
G clamp a strip of wood with nails sticking out to the underneath for the gorilla pod stand to hang onto.
