GoPro set ups, Where to install, what version, and tips and trickes Options

I mount mine in different places depending on what I want to see. Sometimes I will mount it outside on one of the rear flares to see how close I am getting to the cones, sometimes I will mount it on the windshield looking down at the front of the car, I've also mounted the camera to my rear wing to get a view from the back. This is mounted to the rear glass.

I see your dash mounted pole dancer shows you which way to turn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

All of the video's I've taken over the past few years have been with an original GoPro Hero (you can see them on the website link below) Previously, I had used a Sony Handicam...you can certainly tell the difference! and...I saved the videos from the GoPro in much lower resolution than what the original was - 1 minute is something like 100MB of memory.!!!

In Huey, we use the suction cup mount allowing us to move it around. In Papa Smurf, we have a Motorsports clamp style mount (comes in the kit) that's clamped to the roll cage.

If you get an older GoPro, or GoPro 2, I sell a button that can be plugged into the back so you can turn it on 'remotely'. Its a wire connection - not bluetooth or anything like that - but it works very well and allows you to mount the camera anywhere and turn it on and off. I have one mounted in dash of both cars (I have one with an LED light too) I don't know if it works with the newer versions.

I like going this way...

Looks like the later versions have Bluetooth sync with remote start stop while earlier versions need a button attached by a cord. A wealth of information here, as usual. Thanks everyone.

I have the earlier HD version. I usually have it on the rollcage, upside down, where the stock rear view mirror normally would be. I use 720p 60fps mode, center-weighted metering. I got the optional display back because aiming it without that or the newer version with wifi streaming is friggen impossible.
