Re: Windshield camera mount

I have a new small camera (Nikon AW100) that does pretty well with movies. I would like to get a windshield mount for it. The prices are all over the place and on some the mounting arm looks too short to work well with the slope of a Boxster's windshield. Some look too flimsy for "spirited" driving. Have any of you used one on the front windshield that you found good?

I have the Go Pro Hero2 Motorsports edition. Windshield mount is very solid but is made specifically for the Hero series cameras. I am not familiar with the AW100. Maybe it would work with the Hero tripod mount to interface with the Nikon?

I've been using the Chase cam mount for a few years mounted atop the roll bar with a Canon camera about the size of your Nikon. I put some foam around the mount to protect the bar and then use the metal straps that came with it to secure it around the roll bar--a very solid mount that passes tech.

Having said that, I've heard good things about the GoPro suction cup mounts that might require a bit of alteration to fit your needs. Here's a site that specializes in windshield camera mounts; most of the mounts have the standard camera threaded mount:
