Default Securing GoPro cameras

I want to have cameras set up inside my Z but without the typical "Jesus handle" there is no place to rightly secure a camera to video the driver and out the driver side window. Ideas?

Also I guess securing a camera on the rear crossbar is great to look out front, but again what sort of securing mechanism? Any camera owners have the time to help me out here?

Why not suction cup to the windshield?
And AK has a writeup for making a mount for the rear brace

Suction cups on the front glass is illegal in CA. And the dash has too many little bumpy bits for a secure connection. Where is this bit about using the brace?

the cross bar is too far back. the passenger side headrest pulled up to the forwardest position is as good as you are going to get without using suction cups

Lots of things are illegal. And I thought you do what you wanted to the tint line or whatever its called.

Lol, I know the CA laws well my friend, but I am talking about the visor line. I think you can do whatever you want in that area. Like mounting a camera

Ah, well yes that would not block the road view. :> Maybe the passenger visor... ?

Velcro the GoPro to the carpeted dash cover you're buying.

Come on dude, it's the second sticky in the interior forum. You don't even have to use the search function you seem so deathly afraid of, you just have to open your eyes and look. You don't have to start a new thread every time you have a question. This forum's been around since 2008. It's very possible someone had had the same question as you and it's already been answered.
