Go Pro mounting in CSL ?

[83SY]

I have a go pro and short of sticking something on the dash which I don't want to I'm not sure where to mount it?

Does anyone use one? Mounting point? :banghead:

Mount it upside down on the windcreen and then go into the menu to invert the image recorded.

Why not mount to your helmet gives good view and you get the feeling of speed and bumps etc.:supz:

I use front window and upside down feature, or rear window so the driver is also visible

Has anyone tried the suction mount that sticks to the windscreen?

Yep Iused before a suction mount on the screen before (proper.Brian Hague jobbie) but these days in UK suction mount is not allowed. You could try tethering it to the mirror and say it is permanently secured.

Alternatively you could use the screw mounting points on the passenger sun blind fixing on the bottom of the roof. Easy to get at, just need a clamp that you can convert to use.

Whats wrong with helmet view fix mount to helmet easy .

Rear window not a good idea.

I used my cousins original GoPro Hero as my new Hero2 showed up ONE day after I left for the Ring.. not impressed GoPro!!

However mounting it on the rear window is to far back & you wouldn’t get a good/clear picture out the front window.

I’d an added problem too, my cousin lent it to a fella who lost all the feckin mounts, so I'd to improvise with a 12euro phone mount out of the service station as you exit the Eurotunnel, did the job better than I thought it would & even better now when I read the posts above & realise I'd had the same problem with the proper mount getting enough angle on it when trying to mount it on the front window.

I use the wrist band mount thingy and cable tied it to the front grill under the number plate, gives a great low angle on track, shows speed and looks good.

First I mounted the gopro on the Cage with a roll bar mount just behind the seat, but every little movement from the chassis/cage while driving could be heared on video as a loud squeak.

Now I have a other sound problem: the gopro is mounted on in the middle on front window and there is a whistling noise when accelerating. I can hear it only on Video, for example when I start a lap on the nürburgring or accelerating after Adenauer Forst. IMHO it is a electrical field from the engine. And it was NOT audible when I had the cam at the cage!

Does anyone have the same problem? Or a solution?

I like the sound of this mounting point Ando. Have you got any clips you can load up onto the thread ?

It would be great to see how you install the set up on the car, too, of that's ok.

Thanks.:)

Resurrecting this thread now that I have got myself a shiny new GoPro Hero3 silver.

Was there a preferred answer to this for in-car mounting?

Options I see are:
- Rear view mirror (with a sticky pad?)
- Passenger sun visor
- Suction mount, which may or may not be acceptable on TDs.

Hmm...

8905I used the sticky 3m pad flat mount and stuck it behind the mirror on passenger side so its out the way.most tracks don't allow suction cup mounts and i saw one person get his converscates cos he kept trying to use it on track you can see in this pic where mine is

Pix to help illustrate Dunc's possible mount point. I tried 4-5years ago and worked great.

That was the route I went in the end - perfect mounting, stable and not visible when in the car.

I do quite fancy an external suction mount at some point (doors, roof) but I am aware that they can be difficult with some TD organizers.

Thanks all. :thumbs:

Helmet helmet helmettttt :119:

Yep, will try mounting to the helmet too...

Helmet cams are cool....

Eh that is cool Graham. If I may also add a good point well made for advantages of helmet cams!

[Graham]

That's why I like it as you get a better view for certain things rather than just what's ahead of you...
