Exactly. I am so close to pulling the trigger.

Question regarding the suction cup mount that comes with the unit.

Would this be a trustworthy mount? I mean, do people typically feel comfortable with it mounted to say a nice clean hood or roof?

Thanks

EDIT: Pretty good tutorial on the suction cup mount.

Looks like this guy is accepting offers at $360.00 for them :)

Holy shit, that's incredible. You guys can definitely buy me this for Christmas.

Side note, all that footage was shot right around the corner from where I live! The blue pyramid is on the Long Beach State campus, and the hilltop lookout is on the top of Signal Hill. Go, local references!

As long as the surface is clean, I trust it with my camera. it's pretty damn strong. I stick it on my front bumper during my track days and have no problem with it. I just make sure its clean and there is a good flat seal.

Here are some of my HERO2 videos, and its mounted right under the driver headlight like in my sig. The overlay is added from Harry's Laptimer Pro from the iphone

OK. Great info Derek. Thanks for that confirmation my good fellow.

I guess I just figured you track rats had some super strong, stealthy, peanut butter mounting method.

The suction cup mount is extremely sturdy. Everyone at autox uses it.

I have a suction mount and tripod mount that I can attach to my head post mount I had fabricated. The quality of the video is excellent. Using the proper case, the sound is pretty good too.

I just wish they allowed the suction cup mounts at our HPDE's. The rules are so retarded. They have to be HARD mounted AND tethered. Give me a friggin' break...

I will try to post some pics of my different mounts and will take some sample vids/pics for you tomorrow if I have time.

Who hosts your HPDE B?

Lol if a redbull airplane uses the suction cup then I don't see why we can't on a low speed car...

The suction cup are stupid strong.

The Hero3 Black is an amazing camera. I would really like to get one but I just bought my Hero2 last year.

[JupiterBMW]

I'd love to get one too, just not sure it'd get enough use to justify $400...

Of course it is. You don't have to use it with the car only. :D You can do timelapse photos on the ship too :D

I need to get to making videos.

[wertyu78]

I really should've spent the extra money on a Black version rather than the Silver or White... Idk which one I have TBH.

^^I like those RED three ways! Mainly b/c they're red. The gold handlebar adapter looks like it could be used to hook around the head rest in the car too.

[derbo]

The handlebar one looks good for like a Rollbar too. the red one seems like its replacing something that doesn't need to be replaced. LOL

As far as video quality goes, I don't think there's a difference. I don't see a need to spend the extra money.

My 2 cents

I like that with the black you can adjust the white balance.

Very nice.
