GoPro or Action Camera guys
For Christmas this year my wife bought me an Action Camera to use when I go riding on my motorcycle and for car cruises. For anyone who has an action camera what kind of car mount do you use? I saw the GoPro brand one is rated up to over 150+ MPH. That is a nice feature, but are there any other mounts out there that can provide that strength without harming paint?

I used the go pro suction cup on my helicopter in Afghanistan and backed it up with duct tape so I knew it wouldn't fall off haha didn't hurt the paint at all.

Re: GoPro or Action Camera guys
If its good enough for Laguna Seca, then it should be good anywhere.

Re: GoPro or Action Camera guys
I made this video with my GoPro Hero 3 mounted to my ZR-1 and just used the smooth suction mount that came with it. Worked awesome.

Re: GoPro or Action Camera guys
Same here. I have actually had the Sony action cam on one side and the GoPro on the other side at 120mph plus cruising around at the 20th Anniversary event for 3 days with zero issues with either camera or mount. One mount was GoPro the other was the actual Sony but looks exactly like the GoPro. Now although I own the Sony I like the GoPro better. Built in screen on the unit is the difference. The GoPro is just more user friendly.
