Thanks! I taped the mic on the rear bumper, maybe about 4 inches from the passenger-side exhaust tip. I think I use a medium FOV and I like it because you get to see out the side windows as well.

Will that work with a tint?

I have the headrest mount from http://www.headrestmount.co.uk/

It is definitely pricey, but I absolutely love it. I do second the suggestions for go pro suction mount on rear window however! Much cheaper alternative!!

Made this mount last year. Cost me about 16 bucks in material.

Thanks for all the inputs! I like the headrest mount view the most. But the suction cup at rear window will be acceptable too.

Suction cups work fine with tint, I've mounted my Go-pro at the top of the rear... I like high view on the rear window or interior-side helmet mounting (great to see where you are focusing on track, though I use my eyes more than moving my whole head sometimes so not totally an accurate representation on where you are focusing). Go-pro car kit comes with adhesive helmet mounts.

I like the Tackform headrest mount a lot: http://amzn.to/2sxHkhQ

At $70, it's obviously more than a $20 plastic mount or $20 DIY solution.
But it's made like a nice piece of photography grip equipment -- all metal, high quality, with multiple adjustment points for the perfect angle.

I mount the camera on the passenger side, and use Wi-Fi app preview on the phone to get the camera angle dialed in.

One thing to remember too if you're using a GoPro and it's your first time using one in car: turn on the spot meter mode otherwise everything outside the windshield will be totally washed out.

I lost a whole day of footage because of that :(.
