Camera/mount recommendation for track?

[destructure00]

Track guys...what camera and mount are you using to get good in-car video of your sessions? I have a Ram Mount that I've been using with my phone, but I have to mount to the windshield in order to see what's happening outside the car, and the video shakes a lot. I've seen some good camera footage from behind the driver that doesn't shake much, what is that from?

Suction mount from the sunroof to an extension/selfie stick with a GoPro mounted to it. The GoPro stabilization algorithms get rid of any vibrations.

Couple motion sickness inducing video I posted was from iPhone with Ram Mount on windshield. Ram Mount doesn’t work when it’s cantilevered from the windshield. On windshield, I get better results with this cheap mount > TechMatte Car Phone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01780KZMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_bN.gEb08S2JC6

@mcbarnet007 uses Ram Mount straight down from the sunroof, that seems to work very well.

I use the following combo

RAM X-Grip Large Phone Mount with RAM Twist-Lock Suction Cup Base
RAM Double Socket Arm - 6 inches
RAM Double Ball Adapter

This way the camera is around eye level. I am using it with Samsung S9 and I choose the wide angle camera which does not have physical stabilization. Works OK, little bit of shake makes it seem faster!
