Get a GoPro Hero 3. Great suction cup mounts. Remote control for video

I'd never trust a suction cup by itself. Might work 19 times out of 20,
then you're out a GoPro.

Adhesive mounts for GoPro generally use 3M VHB (very high bond) tape,
intended to be permanent, but can be removed cleanly with difficulty
using heat. See "Parowan Motorglider" on youtube. Next time I think
I'll go with the gaffer's tape over suction cup mount.
