I'm looking for good camera mounts for the car. I was wondering if you guys know of any mounts that are better than the other? I found this one website that looked good. Seems a little pricy but for keeping my cameras safe, it doesn't matter to me, I just want it to hold.
Camera Mounts - Sticky Pod, Grippers, Suction Cups, Light & Mid Weight Camera Mounts (http://www.filmtools.com/succupmoun.html)
I'm gonna be making something I hope all you guys will like but I need car mounts to start.

I've got this one:
The Cleat. 4.5" Suction-Cup Camera Mount. (http://www.filmtools.com/cleatsuccamm.html)
And it does the job pretty well ! My camera never fall :P
Here is the video I made with the mount and some random digital camera:

I have a older camera pod with 3 suction cups. Holds up my 3 year old min DV camera but I like these new ones. I guess I'll upgrade when I get a new camcorder.

i know you're just looking for mounts...but look into gopro
they're hella small cameras but great quality
the small size means they are light weight, so they don't require as much effort to support. they're also designed with motorsports and other rough stuff in mind so they're pretty rugged.

filmtools.com has a ton of camera mounts. the sticky pod mount is to big for normal usage. i got one through film tools.com and that shit lasted forever...until our driver clipped a k rail with it. but it hardly ever lost suction and seriously stuck to just about anything
