Not wanting to attach the GoPro flat adhesive mount to the dash, which would have been challenging to remove, I used the suction cup mount from soloperformance on the top inside of the windshield along withe GoPro tripod mount and 3 way adjustment device directly underneath the mirror. The combination provides the flexibility for adjusting the GoPro camera both vertically and horizontally. The camera is easily removed when the car is unattended. Power cord reaches the 12v receptacle for charging the battery, or for using rather than battery power.

Suction cup mounts do not work on the dash as the dash material, daily driver, is simulated leather and not 100% smooth.

GoPro also has a suction mount which is larger than the Solo device.

The Go Pro camera is mounted upside down. There is an option in the Advanced Menu Settings which allows for " Upside Down Video Image Mode ", eliminates the need to flip the video later on the computer. In this mode, the optional LCD BacPac continues to display correctly for in car viewing of the video being recorded., or playback without dismounting the video camera.

Mountguys suggestion:

" Heavy bean bag mount with anti-skid material on the base to prevent movement of mount "

Car Dashboard Bean Bag Mount for Camera Camcorder & Videocam

Not knowing if any camera shake will impact the video image
