Something with a standard tripod thread. The proprietary Go-Pro stuff is absurd.

Ram mounts are the way to go people. No need for ANY go-pro mounts other than their case. Yeah its not the cheapest but they are metal and quality pieces of gear.
http://www.rammount.com/Products/CameraMounts/tabid/109/Default.aspx#/wizard?Cameradevice=4&Cameradevice-1=1&Cameraarm=2&Cameramount=6 Example of what I have in the car. (multiply by 2 because I have 2 cameras) 
 
And the suction cup mounts are the strongest I have ever seen. Unreal gripping force. The balls have a rubber coating that the extension grips onto. They don't move at all even on the worst conditions. For example I had one camera setup with the 6" extension at PFR this year on princeton where we hit a BIG hole (or rock or other car for all I know) and the camera did not move. Also with the ball mount, you have full adjustability in every direction you could ever want. just twist the wing nut on the arm and everything is locked in place.

I have the universal holder in my work truck, just use a standard dash mount with a standard 3" arm and its great. Very sturdy. I bought the suction mount as well. Great adaptability by being able to swap parts and application in seconds. BTW Keith there is a local dealer and they have had everything in stock when I walked in the door. I must give John Hall the credit as he is the one that introduced me to these pieces of gear.
