I recently got a GoPro and have been meaning to fashion a mount for it in my car, mainly to use as evidence if I am in an accident and not at fault (it has a mode where it will record x minutes of video and overwrite in real time). Even though it's a super wide view lens, if I put it on the dash it doesn't capture as much peripheral view as I'd like. Other than strapping it to my forehead, I might need to suspend it from the dome light somehow.

I have two GoPro cameras. I use them both for snowboarding, atv, sleds and of course in my car. My car has a sunroof so the supplied picture was taken with a suction cup mount onto the glass for the sunroof. I've never had the suction cup fall off and I've never had any other problems with the cameras.

Yeah, I affixed a cheapsie GumCam to the front of my Fiero awhile ago with decent results, save for the shit battery life... cut-out before I got to Dixie Square. At least it saved the video up until then.
Now I'm eyeing one of these for driving and roller coaster videos.

We got a couple of GoPros at work, but the most exciting footage they take is of med students with iPads.
