Bad idea for insurance reasons!

Ok scratch that idea....

Ok for outside mounting of gopros.... I have the suction cup, sticky mounts along with a clamp mount. Any decent spots that won't kill the lens if mounted to low? It looks like I'll have 3 cameras rolling. My hero3, my brothers hero and a camcorder.

I have one inside behind rear view mirror, and one that I put by "svt heat extractor" facing forward. It up high that most crap misses it, and gives driver point of view..
In my field video, had suction mount on rear driverside window... That gave a good view of suspension working..

I've played with mounting it facing the rear bumps before. I don't like that idea for the run... if it falls off I'll probably never know it did or find it

A good tip is to put a piece of paper inside the housing with your name and address in case anybody finds it. Another thing you can do is zip tie it to the truck using 2 or 3 ties, one around base of camera small enough it can slip off, one around a fixed point on the truck where i wont slip off whether that's grille or mirror or door handle or whatever, then another connecting the 2 ties. That way if the suction mount unsticks, it'll fall and be caught by the zip ties.

I suction cup mine to the driver door then tie a string around the "running board" through the housing of the GoPro incase it comes off.

We have friends who are registered participants, can I go and spend the night on Saturday? I want to go and enjoy the BBQ dinner, spend the night and then come home Sunday morning.

Just 2 so far.

I hate to say things like this... But I have a bunch more planned, I just wont say I am going to do something unless I can deliver. Expect some cool stuff.

Trey, my son is a registered participant, can I go and hangout at the ranch, eat dinner and spend the night? I would just be camping.
