    I am doing some video blogs with my 360 and I have a great action camera but the in-car mount is not very reliable! Ends up rolling around inside the car.

    I want to take shots from inside and from outside too.

    Anyone recommend a really good camera mount that won't come off?

    Also, when doing videos in my spider I find the noise is so high that you can't hear my voice in the videos, even with a lapel microphone. Anyone recommend a good mic that can cope with the engine and wind noise?

    Thanks.

    I have a GOPRO that came with a suction cup mount. I mount it on the waterfall between the seats, it't very stable and holds surprisingly tight.

    Thanks for the tip and the image...and the car looks awesome!

    We don't have a B and H store in Spain but I've found a similar suction mount to your on Amazon here and ordered that.

    Thanks again!

    Yes, I do have visions of it flying off and taking the paint with it! Will have to take the risk ;)

    Drift has good action cameras. Stealth is smaller and Ghost is bigger, but both are bullet-shaped, so they are a good option if you would like to record videos from outside the car. They are aerodynamic. Additionally, their batteries last about 3 hrs, which is probably the longest time on the market. I personally use Stealth as a commuting camera - just in case of any accident or something.
