A friend wanted a mount for his GoPro so he could mount his GoPro to his car or truck and do automotive videos with the camera at different locations outside his car. He had only found a suction cup based one and was worried he would send his expensive GoPro down the road. He asked me to come up with a design that could be easily attached to the car or truck and be put on any part of it. With much thinking I came up with this. It's a magnetic base mount. I used 4 Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets (which have a 13lb pulling force) at the four corners and arranged it so the cross has a leading leg in front and behind the camera to counter lifting. It can be used on any steel part of the body as long as the curve of the body isn't too much to not allow contact of the magnets on all four sides. Was considering lifting the center up but that would allow air under the mount and decided against it.

Since the pictures I have added a very thin layer of spray on Plasti Dip to the bottom of the mount to keep it from scratching the paint and also keep it from being able to slide on the smooth surface of the paint. There is a link below for the magnets I ordered and used. I simply epoxied them in place. This mount has seen speeds of 100+ without moving.

ATTENTION: I am not responsible for any damage to your camera or car/truck by using this camera mount. This works for me and my friend so I thought I would share it on here.
