Default GoPro mounts? What are you using?

I am planning on getting a GoPro but wanted to see how I was going to mount it first. What is everyone using and where did you get it?

I have a full time adhesive mount on top of the head unit so I could face the camera out the windshield or into the car to record some late night freestyles with your homies. I also use a auction cup. I use that out side in the window behind the driver window facing into the open drive window so you can get the hands steerin and the hood of the jeep.( this is a a good one if your drifting on a frozen lake. I have a cool video i should put up.) and the suction cup is used on the wind shield and inside the windshield facing out.

I use the suction cup mount on the inside of the windshield. I have a magnet mount also I use for outside of the vehicle. I just placed the magnet mount 2 days ago on my tranny pan pointing at my driveshaft to see if it hit my exhaust during flex. You will end up with a bag full of mounts and cases. I love my gopro hero 3 black. The gopro app works great too with a smartphone.

Any of the 3M mounts or the suction mount are incredibly sturdy. However I stuck 3 Neodymium n48 magnets to one of the quick connect base which I always leave attached to the gopro. Then I epoxied a large flat washer on the inner side of the dash. Voila, quick connect without the use of ugly permanent bases stuck to your dash

I have one stuck on the dash to face in or out the jk. I also have a roll bar mount I still have yet to use but will soon. I have a box full of mounts for just about any thing I would need one for. Love my GOPRO Hero 2 HD.

I have a 3M mount on my front and rear bumper, a roll bar mount and a 9 foot extention paint pole with a bicycle mount on the end that I can zip tie to my rollbar to get some good 3rd person perspective shots.

The 9 foot paint pole sounds like a good idea. Do you have any vids posted with that view.
