Gopro question

I was looking at getting a gopro butam concerned about it falling of my vehicles. While I would think it would hold in the summer will it stay on if your flying through snow drifts?(not in the camaro)

I have almost all the GoPro mounts

What's the butan. The suction cup? If so I have used it offroad on my 4x4 in pretty rough and sometimes fast driving and have never had it come off. Just in case , however, I do tie a piece of small cord from the mount, to something. On the 4x4, the mirror,on the Camaro the wiper blade.

Got a friend who claims it stayed on the hood of his Charger up to 120MPH. I didn't witness it, but that's what he said and I have no reason to NOT believe him.

have had mine on the outside up to 100 with the suction cup. if you are that worried about it, hang it on the inside of the windshield in upside mode.

Speed is one thing but actual snow hitting it is different

That thing just took a cone at 100mph... if you're not sold, do as "dmginc" mentioned and mount it inside the car.

Buddy of mine took his over 150 mph. Suction cup held fine, but he didnt tighten the extendable arm he bought as an accessory and the camera started to tilt downward. Other than that it is solid.
