    What is a decent dashcam that we can use with our GoPro mount? I would prefer a wireless option if possible.

    I'd not put a dash cam on that gopro mount....Mine is gone after replacing the windshield anyway.... The cam is too visible there.... I mounted mine behind the RV Mirror.... I can't see it from the driver's seat and passers by can't see it either...!!

    Have not heard of a "wireless" dash cam yet..... It's easy-peasy to hardwire them anyway.... AND if you want Parking Mode, you need it powered with key in the OFF position. Need a Power Magic Pro to do that, or other alternatives out there..... They keep the camera from draining yer battery..!!

    Im not too concerned about the cam being visible to people. I park in a secure parking lot at work. What cams can be mounted to the gopro mount?

    I doubt that any of them come ready to mount to another Manufacture's mount...!!

    Most of them come with 3M sticky pads..... they hold for a lifetime...no worries..!
