Looking for a FORWARD facing mount for an Iphone to record an upcoming track day. Can seem to find one that is forward facing. Anyone have a model to recommend? Thanks.

Also, all the camera apps support obd 2 connections. Anyone recommend a recording app that either works with obd1 or uses internal iPhone gps and g forces to add that data to videos? Thanks

the one and only track day I've done at VIR (parade charity laps) I wanted to record and didn't have a go pro handy so I taped the iphone to the visor and pointed it forward. Worked in a pinch. video came out pretty good and I got the old gal up to 130 or so which was plenty for me!



I have a windshield suction cup that's strong enough now to mount on the windshield that does a good job holding the phone steady.


It came with my c5 is just a standard suction cup with phone clamp that works well.

14690 I use this one. It gives me landscape view for navigation and obviously video front view. I will try to recall the maker of it.

This is similar where it is in landscape mode.

Limited-time deal: Phone Car Holder, Vansky 3-in-1 Universal Cell Phone Holder Car Air Vent Holder Dashboard Mount Windshield Mount for iPhone 12 11 X XR 7/7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S9 LG Sony and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9BG9ZS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_dlT1_KZHPQDP19YB7R8G1G WQC

I might add, that if you go off road in a corner, the g-force is great enough to knock the setup off the windshield. That happened to me with a GoPro mounted that way.
