Default Go Pro Camera Mount
Getting ready to start some autocross. I have a Rexing Video camera but would like to upgrade to a Go Pro.

How would you mount the Go Pro in a C5 without any roll bars?

Thanks.

I've used the go-pro in the helmet/head strap and mounted over the top of my passenger seat. Also get yourself the go-pro helmet mount that mounts over the chin/face shield of your helmet.

Do you have a Z06/FRC or a regular coupe?

I put it on the B pillar behind the driver window. You can still see in front of the car as well as driver inputs.

Don't they have a suction cup mount for a window? TIP; wet the cup before sticking it, it will stick much better.

I bought the GoPro Hero 10 Black. Put the suction mount inside on the rear window and took a pic. Once it stops raining I want to see how the video looks while driving. Hoping it will do well for autocross.

That's going to be difficult to see what's going on past the windshield. I've tried that position in the past.

I've tried that spot too. If you have window tint on you car, it will pull the tint from the window with the weight of the camera on it. Just sayin'....

I mount one on the inside of the windshield, one on the roof and one on the splitter. Make sure you tether them especially any on the out side of the car.
