Javier Yes, it is a GoPro and I mounted it on the hood/bonnet with a suction cup, centered ~8 inches in front of the windshield. Camera has Super-Wide, Wide, and Linear angles of view. I selected Wide. Super-Wide would include even more on the sides from the same mounting location. I feel for you and all other 3Wheeler owners in areas under lockdown who have not been able to drive for months due to Covid restrictions. I hope things get back to somewhat normal very soon. For some period of time, there was a $1000 fine or 1 year in jail here in Colorado. I doubt that was enforced but most people got the message and stayed home. ![[Linked Image]](https://jawad.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-10/p3899585182-5.jpg)

What's the camera you've used? How did you fixed it to the front? With a suction cup? Is it just between both "windshields"?  I have my camera ready for action since the beginning of the quarantine here in Madrid.... but it's forbidden to drive since March the 14th, but for specific purposes such as going to the supermarket. So I haven't move the M3W for 70 days now, as it's too striking and it attire the authorities like bees to honey, with hunger to give you a ticket!  FYI - mine is a GoPro with its suction cup. The plan is to fix it just between both "windshields" (a little upfront due to the size of the suction cup) and it gives me the same vision. And I'm hand manufacturing a specific lanyard to secure it attached to the "lift the dot" central fastener, in case the cup loses it's vaccum. I attach my GoPro to the Roll Hoop with the GoPro Roll Bar attachment. If I position it at the top towards middle then I obtain a clear sight line between the two windscreens. I've never trusted the suction cup with all the vibration.

I've never trusted the suction cup with all the vibration. I though about the roll hoops position too, but as I'm relatevely tall and we'll drive with our helmets on most of the time we'll want to record something, it would look like too high and our helmets will be hiding part of the scene. So I disregarded it. Then I read about the original GoPro suction cup. Expensive, but guaranteed for crazy speeds not achievable with the M3W. I even saw people sticking them to airplane wings. So I trust it…. but I'm making this safety lanyard just in case

Nice! The videos are truly excellent quality and there is no vibration. So the GoPro stabilizes the image really well. That was one of my concerns, now dissipated with your reply!  I'm planning to position it closer to the winshields so I can push the record button while driving. But I've seen another nice option, which is the GoPro bluetooth remote. It will allow us to place the camera in all the imaginable positions, and record just the scenes we want to, using the remote. But it's quote expensive: 100 € (about 110 USD / 90 GBP) Holly cow!
