Paul 442 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Hi All, So my wife's asked me to start thinking about birthday presents and since I'm going to be doing a few more track days this year I was thinking of getting a GoPro or similar and some sort of mount. I prefer the look of the headrest mounts because they're out of the way. I was wondering whether anyone used anything like this at the moment and what people would recommend? Although I usually keep up with tech this is one area where I've done zero research, right now I'm leaning towards the Hero5 Session but it does seem a lot pricier than some other makes and models so actually how much difference is there? I am not worried about 4k, just want 1080p in at least 60 fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 In for info on such mounts aswell, though would prefer something that can let mount cellphone via some brodit's or generic adjustable/universal mount, to use smartphone to film if wished. Headrest seems best place to film both track & driver inputs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surrey86 352 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 I can get ok results using a suction mount on the rear window, with the camera facing forward. Tether the mount to the stick up rear light on the parcel shelf (finally a use for it!). I'm a bit sceptical of how safe it is having a metal bar poking out of the side of the headrest with a passenger nearby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
