DJI thing mounting for car

[br d]

I don't know if this should go here or the Photography group.

I've got an Action 5i thing. The website makes no sense to me. I'm trying to buy some car mounts.
Just want a way to stick it on the car like every Youtuber does, what do I need to buy?

I use one of these. Sticks well and doesn't flop around which cheaper versions do.

I used it to get most of the in-car footage for this video https://youtu.be/e9EX202ueLQ

There are more expensive options if you want longer arms and bigger suction mounts, but this one is perfectly fine for most uses.

Do these stabalize the video? I have used them before but its a bit shakey on playback

No, it relies on the in-built stabilisation in the camera if you use the Action (or similar camera such as Go-Pro).

I also have the DJI Pocket which has a gimbal built-in - only downside is that it isn't waterproof or as tough as an action camera, but it is smoother.

You can also get a spring-loaded mount which absorbs some of the up and down motion, but isn't full stabilisation. Something like this plus an Osmo Pocket would be ideal, but it's a fair bit more money and more stuff to carry and fit each time you want to use it.
