Nothing wrong with it only being on PC! Master race, etc.

Not saying being on PC is bad, most of my favorite games are PC only (R-factor, Richard Burns Rally, iRacing, etc.) but now that I only have 20-30 mins of actual game time these days, I'd rather be flipping it on real quick on the couch than having to set everything up.

Now, to dust of the Logitech G25, this 360 controller isn't cutting it

Anyone with good/bad experiences with the GoPro Suction Cup Mounts being used on the exterior of the car? I've only used mine a few times inside. Just kinda paranoid that it'll fall off...

Thanks!

Ask @PMok But seriously, just make sure you are mounting on a clean smooth surface like glass and you'll be ok. If you are extra paranoid, some clear bra+gopro sticky mount+tether will also work.

I've only mounted my gopro using the mount on the outside once and it was fine... that said, I had it on my windshield, inside, for months without it falling off. As long as you clean the surface and mount it correctly you should be fine.

LOL yes I've had my camera fall off, due to somewhat dirty window surface on the outside of the car, me being lazy and not cleaning it before attaching the camera. Then hitting some rough bumpy roads and presto, it fell off causing a little damage to the housing and camera, but also yielding some interesting footage haha. I can't find the video clip at the moment but it's up here in the DRIVE chat thread I think.

But yeah like B and Pwolf said just clean it before attaching and you'll be fine. I've used it on the exterior for several track days and drives with no issue before, but I'm a little paranoid now and will only attach it to glass surfaces when mounted outside. Or securely bolted on with a metal mount...
