Looking at getting a GoPro Hero 4 for my birthday, however I am wanting to know two things.
1. Is there a headrest mount available from anywhere
2. How sturdy are the suction mounts if anyone knows? Able to do a few miles without falling off?

Used a suction cup mount in my Corsa loads of times no bothers with it
Loads of clamps available to attach it to anywhere and anything. I got a multi kit thing off eBay for cheap, has been superb.

When you used the suction mount did you mount it to the outside of the car at all? I think i've seen that kit looks alright tbf.

You'll look ever more of a bender with it suction mounted outside the car on a commute and track days wont allow it

Mine was inside, you could put it where you wanted back in those days. It never fell off at speeds of over 175mph anyway. My cheap eBay kit I use While in my cycle bike and I've fallen off crashed landed on it etc and it's never broken yet.

I didn't mean on the outside for track days, but more tunnel runs or whatever. Suppose I'll just try it and hope for the best.
