I'll do both for you tomorrow. I'll post up shortly after.

any picture of how it mounted? I suction cup it in the rear window and its much farther and due to the lighting inside, the video can't see a thing of outside because its too bright...
thanks

This is the sort of angle you can get. I didn't take video because I forgot to put the SD card in.

Interior:

Pass windshield upper corner
Helmet - mouth area, below visor
Between seats suspended

Exterior
Tow hook
Roof

Examples:

Windshield corner shows the Z driver well, Exterior is obvious

video is a little shacky because the seat shakes. there are two locations, one is at the center of the car and the other is closer to the passenger to get more of the driver in the video.

Thanks for the pics Raul, I got my go pro and mounts in the mail and I've been experimenting with the handlebar/seatpost mount and I was wondering, do you get shaky videos with that mount? Since my passenger seat shakes in my car my videos have been shaky with the seatpost mount, do you have any suggestions?

When I recorded some footage I don't remember any significant shake even under hard driving. The camera is held by 2 tight screws on the handlebar mount and sandwiched between the seat and the headrest. I can give it another try sometime soon and post the results.

@raul

Is your go pro actually touching the headrest? The way I had it mounted, some of the pivot arms that I attached together were touching the seat. If you could take a video or link us to a video that would be great so I can see how much shakiness your set up may have.

Thanks again!
