We were pointed towards this company by AIM. This is by far the nicest (and best deal) in video camera mounts we've seen - especially for everyone using today's smaller, lightweight digital video cameras. RAM primarily makes car mounts for things like GPS displays, satellite radios, and phones (we're getting a few of those too). Their car camera mounts use the same sturdy design with easy angle adjustments and vibration dampening rubber coated ball-joints.
Did I mention the great deal these are? Starting at well below $40 for the roll-bar style mount, this is the least expensive mount that's not going to send your expensive camera flying across the car! Not much else out there using the same marine-grade aluminum construction.
Check out the different options hereAvailable in the afore-mentioned roll-bar mount as well as suction-cup mounts and simpler bolt-on styles:

Would you trust your $1K SmartyCAM to a $40 suction cup mount ?
LOL - not on the outside of my car like that! It was just the best place for me to take a photo at the time. But for the record, it has good suction - not sure how else to test it then trying to yank at it with all my weight. But the thing sticks.
SmartyCam should stay INSIDE the car. And yes, I would trust the $40 roll-bar mount to securely hold it, although I always suggest adding a secondary safety tether to these sort of things.
Interesting question, does the SmartyCAM have a secondary tether connection ?
And if you were to use the suction cup to the windshield, will the smartyCAM be upside down, and can it compensate the video for that ?
Yes, the SmartyCam does have a point where a tether can be attached. It's basically just a drilled plate attached to one of the input points.
And yes, the SmartyCam immediately self-compensates when it is upside down. We're all very curious to watch video footage from a roll-over!
