Default GoPro mounting question.

What is the best way to mount a GoPro to the inside of a C5? I've seen them mounted to a roll cage, but I don't have one.

I placed the double faced tape mount location just under my rear view mirror. Then I slide the Go Pro clip on mount into the mount location. The camera records upside down but the video can be flipped once edited.

Or just go into the settings on the camera and set it to Upside Down mode.

I use a suction cup upside down on the roof or back window.

I have a Pro-Desk laptop mount. I remove the desktop and mount the camera to the telescoping post.

Mount it upside down on passenger side rear window and use the spot meter to get the interior to not appear so dark. Don't forget to use the non sealed door on your housing to get better sound or go buy a cheap plugin mic but you'll also need a skeleton case or drill a hole in your exisiting housing. Gopro mic is terrible.

I would just permanently mount one of these www.hackhd.com to your front and rear bumper and connect it to your car battery with a 12V to 3.7V DC adapter. Would be good for security too, I am waiting till they have continuous recording before ordering, they said by October. GoPro's good for temporary mounting and underwater stuff.
