Gopro mount for direct dash mount?

[Bronceaux]

Heading to off roadeo next month. What is the proper Gopro mount to mount directly to the dash to document my experience?

This should give you the stability you’ll require for some clear footage:

I saw a picture somewhere that looked like they had a pedestal type gopro mount screwed directly into where the mythical BYOD rail screws to the dash

1/4-20 is the standard used in the camera world. it would be nice if a new owner could confirm this. I am off to the rodeo the last week of July and plan to gopro as well.

I'd start with something like this:

Now adaptor to gopro style mount:

At this point you have many options but a swivel mount will be best because you will have no other control over pointing it straight forward:

I've never used any of the products I linked. Those are examples. Also can someone 100% percent confirm the 1/4-20 thread?

Thank you! With my accessory pack, I may be almost set up. For vehicle mount, I have always used a four suction cup mount, to hood mount, (sports cars) The elements make me prefer inside for this application.

Thank you! Hopefully someone will confirm. I just hillbilly engineered a dual male end 1/4-20 adapter to use with a standard mount. If that is correct, I am good to go.

Correct! 1/4 20

I got these and they worked great.

I’m liking that third link above. Having the additional articulation would be nice.

I just need a wing nut to make it easier to remove/adjust.

Where is this? looks like something I'd see on the Texas / Gulf coast.

Somewhat related question: I recently started researching the whole GoPro/Dash Cam thing And it sounds like trying to use a GoPro as a dash cam doesn't work very well. Things like sensitivity to heat, recording length (looping).... I don't know, just some random reasons.

Sounds like you guys have gone the GoPro route... How is it compared to a legit dash cam?

Correct! 1/4 20

I used a connection from this website. Super fast, ships from US. I am not affiliated, just an option not amaze-related.
