Phone Mount and action camera mount
I've been searching like crazy but haven't found the right answer yet so I wanted to get your guys opinion on what you use for your phone mount (Harry's lap timer and others) and what you are using for a mount on your roll bar for your action cam.
Thanks

Phone Mount: iOttie One-Touch Car Mount w/ GoPro Suction Cup.
The one hand mount and unmount feature on the phone holder works very well. The suction cup had some gummy adhesive on it that stuck really well but was a giant pain to remove so I swapped it to a GoPro mount (had to shim the connection point) and it holds rock solid

Camera Mount: GoPro w/ Smatree Aluminum Tripod Mount Adapter and Spy Tec Adhesive Mount
I like the camera angle of having the camera above the secret compartment lid. I was using the GoPro curved adhesive mount but there was a little too much side-to-side shake at high speed. I replaced it with an aluminum tripod mount and wide base adhesive mount and reduced the shake to the point it is acceptable. The lock nut on the adhesive mount didn't work very well but luckily when I screw the aluminum mount all the way down it bottoms out pointed in the correct direction.

Microphone: Zoom H1 velcro'ed to passenger front area on the trunk carpet pointed toward rear of the car.
I tried external microphones directly wired to the GoPro but had a popping noise due to what seems to be electromagnetic interference from the audio cable. I gave up on that route and now just use the Zoom H1 in the trunk. The pain of doing it this way is I have to open the trunk to start and stop the recording and then sync the audio after the track day.
