Found some, one that looks particularly good is the "Super Clamp with Double Ball Tilt Top Head"

Go pro is usually the one you think of first, then again you want quality and sound too, most go pro videos sound quality is decent..
Then again you don't expect mic's to last with high DB inside the car

Looks really good that! Video was good, 5:22 looked awesome!!
May invest in one of these. Though they was more expensive than that

The rattling in that video is from the camera, BTW. I get the same rattle using that camera on my mount.
My mount is: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ultra-clamp.html BTW.

The normal price is £300 but since #2 came out Amazon dropped the price of the 1st one. I needed a digital camera and thought I may as well go for a Hero and pay the extra money.

If you've already got a camera, why fork out for a new camera and mount, when you can just get a mount and be done?
