Does anyone know if there is a dash mount to hold a video camera?? I like to record my wheelin adventures, but sometimes its hard to get a good video shot. Though about trying to make something to attach to my dash to hold the camera in place pretty study. Anyone have any suggestions???

The other thing you could try, is get a cheap tripod from ebay, and mod it to mount to your dash.

My GoPro comes with the waterproof case so it doesn't pick up sound very well but the video is good. I like the wide angle feature which is good when your shooting 4x4 video. Gives you a better idea of what is going on around the truck besides what is directly in front of you.

That gopro sounds pretty cool, but anyone got some cheaper camera that would work? I wouldn't have any problems having a laptop in the truck with me, but I don't know of any webcams with decent resolution...

Attach it to your head with a rubber band.
