    Default Best source for suction cup camera mount?

    So, in typical fashion I'm procrastinating. First track day of the season is next Saturday, and I've yet to pick up a mount for the camera I bought at Christmas.

    Any suggestions on a good, inexpensive (TCB FTW!) suction cup camera mount?

    Chase Cam. Think the one I have is around $30?

    That's the one I use. I had to do some minor mods to it because it's cheap (basically superglue some plastic).

    It's a good mount. I've got the slightly more expensive one with the extension arm. It's good for mounting your camera the inside of the front or rear windshield. The one without the extension is better for mounting on the outside of the vehicle.

    Yep, for the RX-8 the one with the arm works great. The normal 3 suction cup one works good on the roof of the RX-8 and the back window of the Elise.

    So do you guys typically mount the camera outside the car? How do you deal with the wind noise? I've got 3 cameras I want to mount to my car and get an "all angle" video with. I was thinking 1 cabin, and the other two outside. But the wind noise is overwhelming.

    External linked microphone (if supported) brought inside the cabin should work. Right?

    Default Hero Cam at FM

    Have you guys seen the GoPro Hero motorsports camera at FM? http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?...umber=21-50000 I realize it's more than just a mount, but it does seem pretty cool. Be sure to watch the video on FM's product page.
