Cool.

This is what a lot of automotive advertising photographers use. I have played around with a friends for a few minutes, but can't find the photos.

this suction cup system is a little sturdier hold up to 75 lbs.

BH Photo currently has the base along (use your own head) for $89.95 Here

I have added one to my wish list.

I have a manfrotto magic arm which you can secure to a bumper, sliders, bike frame, you name it. Flexible, strong, and great for those POV shots.

Couple of examples of suction cup rigs in use.


(Not my photos, found them on a rig setup post on an automotive photography forum)

The suction cups that the Ram mounts use are awesome, and strong. I ran through tellico using 1 and a handy cam(while small) it held up to the rigors of off road use.

Ram makes awesome products. I beat a one of their mounts all last week while photographing the king of the hammers race in Johnson valley.
