    The GoPro Suction Cup mount is one of the best Suction Cup mounts available.
    The Flat and Curved mounts are great to use as well.

    I have a total of 5 mounts on my RSS. Curved and Flat.
    I use the Suction Cup mount on areas that I had not applied the flat/curved mounts.

    Get ALOT of practice time on the GoPro to become accustomed to how it functions.etc.. Be sure to pick up the Battery BacPac. (If you have a smart phone, don't bother with the BacPac LCD)

    Finally, if you have any specific questions regarding the GOPro Hero3, please do not hesitate asking.

    Default Anywhere..!!

    depends on what you want to film. If mounted on the roadster you will only get the view in front of the roadster. For your event I would think you would like to film what you eyes are seeing hence mounting it on your helmet would work best. Seeing as you can control it from your phone or a remote it is easy. Make sure you post the trip...!!

    I agree. But, if you go with helmet mount and it's adjusted at the proper angle, only slide the camera out of the curved/flat mount. If you loosen any of the adjustment screws, you could be shooting the sky the next time.

    Not going to put it on my helmet. I'll probably mount it on the side of the windshield.

    I have adjustable vents so I can't put it on them. I installed the mount on top of the dash. I'll be filiming through the windshield. Not what I wanted but it will have to do for now.

    My Spyder is spoiled, it sleeps on a rug in a heated and cooled shop, facing the TV, with a fridge on the left side and a sink and rest room off to the right.

    Here's how my Hero 3 is mounted.

    Don't judge me on the garage. After seeing Cruzr Joe's garage in person, almost anything will pale in comparison!

    mhoecker,

    First link is close to the e-bay one; but, it is $40. The second link is a clamp type also and is $28 on ebay.

    Do a google search for camera clamp mounts on ebay and you may find others that are less expensive.

    I've tried several locations on my RT for my GoPro but all had too much vibration. The dash, windshield, mirrors and wind vents all vibrated too much. I have mounts on my helmet and like that setup. I also have the chest harness from GoPro and really like that to.

    I've done the same and like you had vibration/roll at all places, but the helmet. Even in Roger's video you can pick up roll when he's not moving. I even wasted over $75 on a mount that was supposed to eliminate the roll/vibration.

    Could you mount one to the Dash Mount with a Ram Ball?

    The Dash Ram mount comes with a 1" Ram Ball that can be mounted in any of 5 positions (or 5 balls if you like I guess) I was just wondering if the camera would fit in that area after you add the middle part that goes between the two balls.

    The RAM arm can be angled out horizontal. You will be limited as you take the arm toward a more vertical position.
