Lol at them fixing all the **** that was wrong w the previous black. They should have never released the gp3 until all this was addressed in the first place.

I wasn't in the market to buy a camera...but always had it in the back of my mind. After reading this thread, I bought a Swann Pro.
It does everything I want it to do and bought it off of fleabay for $113 shipped. Thanks to all the posters that said "Swann".

Just bought a 3+ black. What is the best suction mount to use on the outside of the car, that will stay attached at say 150-200 mph?

Swann is a ok camera for teh money but even w me bitching about Gopro the final video quality is far superior in every way than the Swann.

I picked up a gopro suction cup mount today. Also pick up a 170lb test 36" fishing leader. Figure that should be a good enough lanyard...

I do not basically I used the suction cup attachment and the camera directly on it, used the flip option so it records upside down. Stuck it to the clear top as far back and in the middle of the glass as I could. Attaching it to the hatch rattled too much.

Here is a video of me sitting in traffic... aka the Blue Group

What part of the car will you attach the leader to?

Thinking that the side mirrors are best spots. The camera wont be far from them, wont drag the ground if they fall off. So we shall see how it goes. But if i have the top down may mount it to the rear deck. Not sure exactly yet.
