I have used an ExactFit magnetic phone mount for about 12 months - available from Rennline at cost of US$45 - it works well. The mount fits into an existing hole in the LH side of the centre console that is accessible after removing the trim piece on the side of the console (so easily removed with no holes).

I run a ram mount suction holder and X Grip, with their tether. It's great. 

Pricey, but the inbuilt tether means you can get your phone out in between sessions to charge it instead of cutting and re-doing zip ties.

You can video forward without seeing the mount, and you can get different length arms as required. 

I've used a RAM I pad holder in my 4x4, and they are also used on boats, so they are about the strongest best quality holder you'll find. pricey, but worth it.

 Just don't get one of those magnetic ball holder things. They're bloody magnetic and rip the sticky thing you have to put on the back of your phone and dash. No use when you have a cover on your phone too. 

 Just get a cheap dashcam Symsy. Mine (Parkmate 'Kapture') was $60-80 and has front and rear facing cameras and produces great videos. Unlike coupla Sundays ago when I got some fantastic footage but I had accidently muted the bloody thing! 😠😩

I cycle and use the QuadLock system on my tri bike and also on my motorbike. They are perfect. 

I'll be grabbing the car adapter too.

Hi @Dave986, did you end up buying this? It looks great, but I am wondering whether the mount obscures video recording through the windscreen? Thanks

Just put this in the 997 and it is perfect, and because my phone case now has a small steel plate stuck on it for the magnet  I got one of these for my DD  Audi and it is also perfect for that car, the magnet mount makes it a one handed job, and neither of them move at all over bumpy surfaces

Another question... does anyone know the rules for in-car camera mounts for CAMS events?

In particular I'm attending the upcoming PCV Haunted Hills hillclimb event (which will use CAMS Hillclimb Regulations). There is a note above from @reddahaydn about zip ties? 

Thanks!

Twro- just depends on the scruitineer but generally if it’s tethered to something solid it’s fine. I’ve never had an issue using zip ties, and I’ve run sprints with probably 6 different clubs and sets of scruitineers. 

Just make sure it’s all in place and tethered up when you go to scruitineerint, or they’ll make you come back. 

Cheers

Not yet mate, I've just upgraded my iPhone to a Plus so I'm yet to grab it

This is the response from Quad Lock support, sounds like it should be fine

"You will be able to mount the phone in landscape position and the camera will be free from obstruction. It may work in portrait position too, but It depends on the size of the phone and where on the windscreen."

I use a Scosche Magicmount magnetic mount suction. It is nice and compact and the suction is very strong if kept clean. If the sucker gets debris on it, just clean with water and its good to go again. I have 3 of these. Ebay has them for about $45, autobarn $55
