[urq] GoPro camera installation : where is the best spot ?

[qshipq at aol.com]

 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.

HTH and my .02

it also depends on the safety rules of the organization you run with. On track, 

My club only allows "metal to metal" mounting - which pretty much means roll 

bar.  For autoX there is much more flexibility.
