Panavise 809 Window Suction Cup Mount is one example.

Panavise works if the camera has a tripod mount. I wonder if you could mount the suction cup on the panoramic roof? I think I tried that with a cell phone/handheld GPS holder and the dash camera without much luck, but it may have been the holder itself was inadequate. A camera mount for something other than a point-and-shoot would likely have a stronger suction cup.

This camera is OK, but as one review said, it is inconsistent in when it records. I found times when it appeared to be running but there was no file when I checked the SD card. I put in a new card and got similar results, so it's in the toybox where all of the other retired toys reside.

Here are some car cams from the Spy Store.

This was the cheapest at $149.00.

This is my dash cam

or sometimes
I use velcro for a mount. Works for me.

Oh, I did buy extended capacity batteries for both cameras. They can record continuously for 5 to 7 hours without charging.

I wonder if that thing would hold this?


I would have the fisheye lens on it instead of the barndoors but the camera would still be heavy. Probably too heavy for that mount.

Anyone used this?
