IPhone mounts for Track Day Video

[NewArt]

Your mounting appears solid. The trick is always to get the camera as close to the suction mount as possible. Some phones have better image stabilizing than others. Make sure it's turned on
Often it's better to use a small action camera mounted directly to the windshield. You can match up the video with the data in post. I've used the SJCam M20 super cheap 4K cameras with great success!

James, thanks for the comments. I don't see in any of the ios menus to set any specific video stabilization.

StevedOx reached out and said that the recent era phones have built in stabilizer functions that don't work so well for track type driving. Crazy that such expensive phones take crap video.

Here is an example on Youtube with newer phones compared to older ones.

Seems the consensus is to use a cheap mounted camera and ditch the phone video.
