    I wanted to share with y'all a little dashcam mount project I finished up.

    I am not a fan of putting adhesive on my windshield so I used some spare gopro mounts stuffs, hacked away with a saw and came up with this elegant solution: (I already hid the wire in the headliner, A pillar, and behind the dash and powered from the cigarette lighter).

    For the curious,
    I took two of the clip mounts, and screwed them together with a gopro swivel extender thingy (it was 3rd party). Then the adhesive mount, I attached to the adhesive on the dash cam, VOILA, I have full tilt and roll control on the camera. I did have to saw off one of the tabs of the three tabs on the clip mount.
    Here are some more pictures:

    And here's what it looks like from the driver's seat:

    @pinochle It's been good so far. I don't have any complaints. I have to do a more thorough test of the picture quality but it hasn't freaked out on me yet. I really like the GPS functionality and the app works pretty well. I got it for really cheap so that's what I had on hand.

    Looks cool. I really want to do a dash cam but I can't make up my mind for what to do.
