Get a grip, or let this thing do it for ya. We have started a YouTube channel and I'm always looking for ways to make things better (very new to it all). I saw this and thought it could add some fun viewpoints to our videos. We can attach it to anything metal. And, if it's not metal, they include a couple of thin metal plates with an adhesive backing to put it somewhere you'd use it a lot (inside our van on the dash comes to mind for me). There's a backing to the area where the magnets are located to keep it from scratching the surface you place it on. The thing to note about that is the actual part where the camera is screwed onto does not have a protective backing, so if you keep this thing flat on your metal surface, it could scratch it (although it is plastic). I think it would be more of an issue on a hood/roof of a moving vehicle where it could bounce around and end up rubbing on the paint, as there is no way to lock the hinge in its position. I guess it's a fiction hinge or something like that and seems solid at this time. I might add something under the base of the camera just to be safe though. There's plenty of room to add a GoPro if you have the proper attachments. I'm looking forward to capturing our adventures with a few different angels. It does take a bit of effort to remove the camera mount from the metal surface, so I feel pretty good about having it there while driving. I wouldn't do so on a freeway or a high rate of speed in general. On the magnet side of the mount there is a way to attach it to a tripod or selfie stick to use it away from metal surfaces and/or while out on the go. With a 360 camera, it helps that this thing lays perfectly flat so you don't lose the 360 feature, except for the portion under the camera. Overall, a good addition to one's camera gear.
