My dashcam is on a crappy little thing made from bits and pieces in my shed. Plastic clips above display thing.

That's got to be Russia.

USA spent $1m developing a pen that could write in space.

Depends what it is suckered to (he said, somewhat ungrammatically...). My fairly heavy 5" Tom Tom satnav has sat happily on its little stuck-down platform for about two years and several thousand miles now. When stuck to the windscreen it would last about 15 minutes.

Get rid of the suction cup and use the 3m adhesive pad that came with it instead.

Can you try a new suction pad? Maybe the edge is not good?

Why can't your butler just hold it in place for you?

Copius amounts of araldite will sort it.

I use one of those flat pads that stick permanently to the top of the dashboard for my satnav. Standing up on a surface is a lot more secure than hanging off one.

Yes, I clean both windscreen and the suction mount every time it falls down. But still ...

Car Dashcam mount keeps falling

My Nextbase 512g dash cam is internally wired. It has a suction mount that keeps falling and some times it doesn't stick at all, however clean my windscreen is. Any one got a better idea?

I was looking at Adhesive tapes, but not sure if it would fix the problem. Any one used/using it?
