This rugged suction cup mount works great just about anywhere on the body of the car. Suction cup is very strong and the adjustable swing arm and swivel head are rigid and tight. It will easily hold digital cameras including full-size SLRs and of course anything smaller. Has standard tripod-style mounting head. Can be mounted on the trunk or hood looking forward or for some interesting shots try mounting it low on door/fender areas to capture unique side-views.
Do not confuse this mount with similar-looking knock-off mounts on ebay and other sites. I bought several of those and was surprised at how poorly constructed they were - they simply can't compare to the build quality of this mount.
