Hi All,

Bought one of these mounts and was wondering best place to mount in the car to get some in car footage.
mount
Anyone know best place to mount these? I was thinking rear window to get view of dash behind seats?

Cheers
 
With the rear window, you might get a lot of the headrests in the shot. I was using a sucker mount on the side window, which is good if you want to film yourself as well as the track.

I've ordered one of these headrest mounts: https://ansixauto.com/brz-gt86-gopro-camera-mount/ . I think they're good value for a custom fit application, and they're more sturdy than the plastic ones available, so won't shake as much.
 
I always try and avoid capturing certain parts of the dashboard, especially if making 'good progress' along the public highways. It's one of the reasons that I always disable the 'own speed' display within my Dashcam options as it can come back to bite you. But to answer your question, I use one of the many Go-Pro clamps (and joints) that I have accumulated during my motorcycle years.

Hey @Swizzle do you have a link to the item? I think will for headrest mount as recommended. Tried the rear screen mount but the footage didn't pick up too well due to lighting inside and out.
Have you installed on the passenger side?
You're not going to see much other than the back of your head otherwise :D

only issue is on my one the handle rattles a bit which the microphone picks up, should be easy enough to sort, plus I'm using an old cheap camera on it
 
I mounted mine on the chin of my helmet using a curved sticky mount, and it gives a super clean angle without showing too much of the bike. If you’re into experimenting with different views or want smoother stabilization, check out insta360.com. Their stuff has built-in horizon leveling which helped a ton during bumpy rides.
