anyone used any good window suction mounts for video cameras that stand upto 4wd action and do not shake too much ect. looked at a few on ebay but they tend to look like plastic that would shake around a bit.

go pro camera mount is good, if you find a mount that is similar and suits the camera it should be alright

I have one of these brands and extremely good and delivered to your door for about $80-$100.
Recommended it by a camera geek who hangs $4000 cameras of the side of his car while driving.

Hi Stackner,
What we did was we used Velcro with double sided tape on the DVD bottom and the same on the dash.

RAM mounts are pretty good and you can get just about any conceivable adapter for them. They're not the cheapest, but work well.

Cheers

To be honest I've been extremely dissaponted with the quality of the go pro cameras.
Not saying don't get one, but don't expect flawless HD video quality.

For the size & $$'s they could be exactly what you're after, but I won't buy one having seen what others have put up from theirs.

As for mounts, I'm pretty sure Ram Mount have some that are "multi suction cup" & all the adaptors you could ever dream of!

Good luck

they are not hard to modify to suit different cameras either.

we've stuck them on the outside of planes to get shots of exits when we skydive....


so yeah... they hold on REAL good...


just make sure you have a decent surface to atach to.

and if your going to run an outside camera, just go the go-pro. everyone uses them not and quiality is awesome.

and if it does come off your not going to do SFA damamgeunkrock:

If you have a camera already that you want to mount then go Ram mounts. I'm going shopping for some this weekend.

If you want to buy something specific for travelling, I'd go a GoPro HD. Great quality and indestructable almost. I recently saw the 2010 Cliffhanger DVD's and you can see how good the are on that. Here's the preview I found YouTube - Cliffhanger 2010 Preview

And the DVD's only show the good stuff and then some. The stuff where they coped it hard obviously isn't shown. One came off a car caked with dirt as it was directly behind the rear wheel on a high speed stage. Quick scrub and back on the next car.

That link above is for RAM mounts, you will note that you can buy each section of teh mount to allow you to bulid a rig exactly how you want to mount it and where, It also allows you to have an adaptor for your still and your video and use both cameras on your mount.

I know the guys at 4wd TV pretty well and they swear by this stuff, given the quality of footage they need to produce to broadcast that is a good enough reference for me.

Cheers .

I wouldn't trust any window suction mount, they fall off eventually. I have a good GPS one and it does come unstuck occasionally but I've cable tied the stem through the roof console for insurance so it doesn't fall down when it comes unstuck.
