Is this the best mount for mounting my sony camera on my car dashboard to capture driving incidents?

You would need a smooth surface like a windshield to mount/stick the suction cup before you can use it For that purpose.

Will not stick to dash. Need to mount to windshield.I've used mine with a Sony HandyCam on an old railroadgrade, with holes big enough to eat a truck!! Stayedmounted the entire trip and more.Even the cold of winter did not bother it. Had it mounted, on a couple of trips to the Denver area.Just in case something did happen.Came undone a couple of times, but only due to operator error!I didn't get the suction cup firmly attached! Great piece to have.

I really like it , if you are going to use it outside of the vehicle I would tie it up just in case

Yes it it. However, the surface should be smooth since the mount mechanism is via suction. Alternative you can also use the universal adhesive mount VCT-AM1. Works on any flat surface. -Ely

I can see it working great for that purpose. still, mine broke in a couple of weeks so handle with care. also consider that this will most likely only attach to glass.

I would not recommend it.....for the price you pay for your Action Cam, you would be better off with a Sony Cam Mount made specifically for your cam. I would not want to risk losing my action cam camera. For some situations and investments, you don't want to take a risk.

I'm not sure this is the right tool for the job. The camera is very small. Mine is used in my car to record traffic. Some are used in sports to record the ride. For your purpose, a traditional hand-held camera would probably work better.

Thanks for your question! According to the product details the mount is for "GoPro HERO, Contour, Sony Action CAM, Drift HD & other Action Sport Camera/ Camcorders". It sounds like it will be compatible with most Action Cameras.

Can't picture what you are doing, it is designed for a standard tripod thread, but is very secure once you have the quick release attached to your car, it will hold your camera very securely regardless of what position it is in. I had the same issue as Ruchy, but was able to put it back together and Have to be careful with the spring

I don't believe this could be used for your dashboard this would connect to a tripod stand.If you search amazon for a iphone dash mount you would probably find what your lookingfor there.Hope this is helpful!Antonio

My camera was that small too. I wouldn't use this product with that. If you are going to put it on the windshield it just puts the camera too close to windshield to position the camera.

This comes with many mounting options. I have one mounted on my dash and it can work as a dash camera.

Yes, all Sony emounts. A7ii and A7s are the best though, full metal mounts.

Yes, i use it on my race car, but im not happy with the quality of the picture. Lets just say i wasted my money when i could have put it towards a Go Pro.

I never tried a suction cup. I felt comfortable with the adhesive mount especially when the interior temperature of the car gets very hot the adhesive tape holds the camera still.

here is the camera I use with this, Sony HDR-CX260V. when moving around it seems like its putting some strain on mount, its not completely smooth movements. This mount is really design for really light objects.

It mounts magnetically without the suction cup, if you have metal where you need to mount the camera. My vehicle did not have metal available in the area where I wanted to mount the camera; therefore I was forced to also purchase the over-priced suction cup mount.

I use it to mount to my windshield while driving. It holds it really secure.

Not sure you will have to check if they make it for the Sony Camera Mounting system. To mount to the sony camera body.
