Default videotaping footwork

I've been trying to capture my footwork on video to check on my heal/toe and consistency in braking, I have the go pro system, but the adhesive won't adhere to the plastic under steering, I the vinyl is to soft to form a solid surface for the adhesive, so the mount keeps falling off, suction didn't work either, is there a way to mount the camera in that area without drilling any holes? what do you guys use?

just a suggestion:

i could suggest seeing the impact of ur heel toe on ur braking g's using a data logger of your choice. the less the variation in braking g, the smoother the downshift.

a video might not capture that.

^me too, I'd often tap my left foot or it'll move around or shake when I take a corner, oh ya, and I always bruise my butt cheeks after each track days.

We used copious amounts of green painters tape to secure a bullet cam to the underside of the steering column. We only did it one day as it was interesting but not of enough value to run two cameras (PITA!) or to only run one camera and lose the in-cockpit view. Maybe if I had a two-camera recording device it would be interesting for a while if working on footwork.

Look into how much the plastic costs. It may be cheaper to buy a spare lower cover (that you can drill) than a fancy mount.
