Rated to hold 70lbs and easy to use.

This one looks great. Doesn't take up the whole car and would do the job. Has anyone else tried it?

I have not used the Gripper but "at speed" I prefer to trust 4 suction cups (stickypod) to 1 cup (gripper). It's probably an awesome product, just not for me.

I also ran into this one on the seller's site, showing it connected to the rear window in a Z06, so I guess that's similar to how you're connecting yours.
Darn, why didn't this thread occur before Xmas?

I am aswell looking for something for my convertible...but i think that this sistem will move and not be firm on a convertible back window...since the top is not rigid....beside the wife or friend holding the camera is there another way to have it inside for a convertible...?

I'm very happy with the Hama "Click" camera mount, which attaches to the windscreen. You can also use it outside the car.
The "Universal" (second picture, click for more info) is a slightly cheaper version without a removable base where the camera attaches.
A security strap is included with each mount.

I've seen these used at Texas World Speedway with great success (the ones I saw were the old versions that were originally called conecams). Just plug it into your video camera and put it in the glovebox, etc and suction it inside the car or even outside.
