GoPro camera mounting

Not very discreet but I've mounted my GoPro using a GoPro suction cup mount in various ways: On the roof, rear window (outside & inside), front windscreen (inside) and also on the door panel.

 

When I went to Castle Combe for a track day they were ok with me mounting it to the inside of the front windscreen (does vary between circuits & organizers though I know).

 

 

 

 

 

On the rear window facing forwards looking over the roof.

Had good results mounted to the front face of the strut brace. Great view through the windscreen and picks up the driver/passenger if needed.

 

Used the sticky pad mount with no problems and cleaned up easily afterwards.

 

Discreet enough for Silverstone being tucked away in the back like that.

Have you got any stills to show the view? I'm thinking of using the suction mount on the inside of the rear windshield to get the same kind of view

Done some experimenting. The best way I have found is to use the cradle with the crocodile clip insert. This I can clip onto the passenger sun visor quickly and unobtrusively.

If you hadn't guessed, its for my next ring visit. So, I can have the camera running, but tucked out of sight, then, once through the barrier checks, clip it on and clear off!

 

Cheers

What did you use to get the height and did you find it moved around a little on the sticky pad..?

I have mine mounted on a curved base on top of the rear strut and to give it height it is on the 'Jam' extension pieces, still get a bit of movement on bumpy ground though..

I've mounted mine with the 3M sticky mount right next to my rear view mirror so it's discreet and out of the way, the Gopro hangs upside down but you can invert the image so it's the correct way up in the settings.

 

Still slightly nervous using the suction cup on the outside of the car though !
