Default Tested out a new mounting location for my GoPro

As the title says, I tested out a new mounting location for my GoPro Camera just under the front license plate, then went for a drive.

The video thing turned out pretty well, and man can you hear the supercharger whine...even through the completely waterproof housing.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this point of view because most videos make the car appear slower than it's actually going... but in this case, the pavement inching by mere inches away makes the speed all the more evident

That was part of the awesomeness. The angle let it look like it was moving REALLY fast and then the top half of the frame was moving slower...

I definitely like it, and planning on keeping the mount there in addition to the other mounting locations...

man this thing is fun...

I just figured out where you live. Cool video, good thing you didn't hit any pedestrians or deer.

Max, I used the flat sticky mount on the front bumper. On the top side near the lower louvres. I needed to rotate it down a tiny bit, as you can see the very corner of my front license plate in the picture. Damn, front license plates.

Yes, I live in Morristown. There aren't many deer in my neighborhood, pedestrians on the other hand there are a few...but I steer clear of them most of the time, not the most intelligent of creatures.

Really cool video! The supercharger sounds awesome. Go Pro's are really fun to play with. My dad and I took ours down to the dragon on our bikes, mounted it in all sorts of different spots. It worked really good.
