Best GoPro Car Mount

ClawHammer · 03-25-2016, 04:48 PM

I'd like to purchase a GoPro car mount to get some footage when my M arrives early May. Just wondering what the best mount to get is. I'd normally just get OEM i.e. GoPro's own mount, but I've read that it's not very versatile because it doesn't have a ball joint to adjust which means you need to remove the entire mount from the car to get it right. I'd also like something to mount a second GoPro inside the car. Any suggestions for either would be great.

Thanks

PS. Sorry if this topic has been covered before but I'm unable to do a forum search on iPad or iPhone as it throws up an error. Has been like this for weeks.

Thank for this. I did come across Ram but the uk website was shocking so l gave up. Just followed your link and came across the video comparing Ram to GoPro's own car mount. I'm sold! Just need to find official uk Ram reseller with descent website.
Thanks again,

CH.

Thanks. I will check these out too but the Ram seems a pretty convincing product.

Ram is good but i had problems getting exactly what i wanted with all the bits and pieces, Panavise great for mounting in car with all the lenghts of bars you can buy, as well Lochen do a great towing eye one as well Craven i think excellent quality

Thanks for this Airpower. Lots of great info, spot setting, tow eye cam attachment, etc.

Unfortunately I'm getting a vert so can't suction to back of my seats as I'm pretty sure they're all leather.

It's not for recording track days. I'm just getting some footage of a trip over to IOM so a suction mount, tow eye mount and the GoPro WindSlayer will probably do for what I need.

Thanks,

CH.
