I also use the suction cup mount but made up some different length tethers just in case! Glad I did because the suction cup did let go once and if it wasn't for the tether it would be at the bottom of the Lake!

Here is a video I put together this summer!

I use suction cups for just about everything because I want the quick release and move without the hassle of changing mounts. I have made my own mounting brackets for my camera dolly, boom rig, and tripods. It was as simple as a small piece of plexiglass attached to it is the shoe for the ball head I use for all of my cameras.

1st image shows the camera dolly with both a Go Pro and on the lower end a suction cup for my iPhone. It supports both cameras .

2nd & 3rd images are of my more serious suction cup that will be setup the same way but with a larger platform secured to it so that I can mount up to 6 or 8 or possibly more cameras at once for 360 degree recording. Something like this will be great to mount to the underbody of the R44 Helicopter. That is as long as it doesn't warp the metal on the chopper. The diameter on that suction cup is about 8 to 10 inches.

My camera of preference now is the iON . http://usa.ioncamera.com/ion/ION-Air...eo-Camera.html
