Gen2 Telescopic onboard cam Mount Mini 50-80 cm - Center Cabin View

Our review of the Gen2 Telescopic onboard cam Mount (Mini: 50-80 cm) finds it best suited for track day drivers, HPDE participants and autocross or drifting enthusiasts who want a professional center-cabin view without drilling or a roll cage mount. The single biggest reason to buy is the consistently centered perspective that captures both track surface and steering input, producing the kind of footage usually seen in pro series while remaining a safer alternative to a helmet cam. It is a practical, adjustable solution for drivers who prioritize a stable, true-to-wheel viewpoint.

Key Features

• Center Cabin Mount: Positions the camera in the middle of the cabin for an accurate view of the road surface and steering inputs, improving analysis and spectator footage.
• Telescopic Height: Adjustable 50-80 cm length lets users dial in the preferred vertical position for sedans, coupes and many sports cars.
• Pitch and Direction Adjustments: Multiple angle settings allow fine control of framing so the driver can include track surface or focus higher for driver inputs.
• Track Tested Stability: Designed and tested on cars from everyday sports cars to exotics to resist vibration and curb impacts for smoother video.
• Smartphone Compatible: Works with a separately sold adapter so phones can serve as high-quality cameras and data loggers with apps like Dragy lap or Double Take.
• Multiple Camera Compatibility: Accepts action cams and recorders such as GoPro, DJI Action, Garmin Catalyst and dedicated devices like VBOX HD2 and AIM.

Who It's For

The mount is ideal for track day drivers, club racers and drifting enthusiasts who want a professional onboard view without modifying the car or using a helmet cam; it is especially useful for drivers who want to capture both the track surface and steering inputs for coaching or content. It also fits anyone who plans to pair an action cam or smartphone with data-loggers for lap analysis.

It is less suitable for drivers who need an ultra-compact or removable suction solution for occasional use, or for cars with extremely limited cabin center space where a center mounting point cannot be secured. Drivers who rely entirely on electronic image stabilization may want to experiment with turning stabilization off for better raw footage.
