GoPro camera installation

[Lee Levitt]

They are great little cameras.

With regard to mounting,  I fabricated a headrest mount for a small video
camera many years ago, but it was BUTTugly. So when I bought the GoPro last
year, I also picked up this sweet little mount:

Weighs nothing, stays on the autocross/track car (my A4) all summer, and
looks cool. If you have backseat passengers, you should probably remove it.
I'd like to see a quick release option on the mounts, maybe I'll ask Eric
about that.

I also picked up a bike helmet mount and wore the GoPro for my two day, 200
mile bike ride raising money for cancer research (www.pmc.org). Got some
pretty good videos from that...

Best,

Lee

 Go Pros are becoming the grey area in many motorsports, and many more
motorsports allow them permanently affixed to the vehicle (read forget the
suction cup mount, but the stick-on mounts are allowed).  They are so small
and so light compared to the typical lb-weight videos of the past, IMO there
is no reason to restrict them to inside the vehicle.  I rarely use the
suction cup mount on my Go-pro camera, and prefer the permanent sticky
clip-in mounts supplied.  I put one on the roof of the Steamboat track car
last year, and I'd venture that short of a rollover, that beast isn't going
anywhere.
