one of the biggest reasons why i dont like suction cups for nav is the same reason. blocks view + rings left on glass.
I usually always mount it outside. Its fun to get creative with camera angles Plus it usually gives a better sense of speed.

Mr.kenchan, I agree, the Z has good visibility ONLY without mounting anything on the windshield.

I found the RAM Mount will have something very suitable for you. You can mount the camera/device on the mirror-arm and position the camera in front of the mirror.

This is the link ==> RAM Camera Mount

I don't know you are going to camcorder or GoPro, but the part RAM-B-231Z-RVMU and RAM-B-201U-A(Short Arm) is very ideal.

I google camera mirror mount and this RAM brand pop up all the time and its design looks quite promising.

I hope it is useful to you.

indeed! i will be mounting it on the outside of the car too and will use the suction cups for sure.

for cabin shots shooting forward, i want part of me in the shot along with part of the side windows. i think 180degree is wat i would use in this case?

I finished up my yard work, mow, trim, edge, water; then I broke out the Auto Finesse Mercury metal polish and cleaned up me Berk exhaust. I am in love with everything Auto Finesse! Beautiful stuff! After the exhaust was cleaned up I focused my attention on cleaning the engine bay. Now I have a wheel off and I'm cleaning the wheel wells... I'm not going to want to drive it once I'm done.

During all this time, I have found Berk Exhaust and Auto Finesse products are to me what PSS's and Konis's are to Mr.onzedge.

Ha!

Actually, I have Berk exhaust also. Please don't get me started on that one.

I think in full 1080 the angle is slightly less than 180 but I forget. I know when i mount mine inside you can see me and even my feet working the pedals

Ugh reminds me of coworker that came to my office crying. Some drama llama **** happening at the other end of the office. I don't care. I sat there and played with a straw from chick fil a and waited for her to leave. Then I went back to work.

I used to work for a llama breeder. True story!
