Default Go-Pro / Camera Tow hook Mount

Has anyone used the new Rennline tow hook mount for their GoPro yet?

Rennline-GoPro-Camera-Tow-Hook-Mount

Looks like a cool perspective!
They comment that it's "just" off center, but the wide angle compensates...

Thanks

I have used it at Laguna, worked great. Angle was not an issue. Will post some of the video when I have time (not likely in the next day or so as we are in the middle of moving.

I would use care in the area where the camera mount is closet to the car, mine is closer than their images and I need to file the edge a tiny bit to ensure it clears the bumper and does not damage the paint.

Methinks you need a .sig update

Great perspective, but looks like the camera housing won't last long from this vantage point....
