Car Mount / Car Grip

In plain words

The camera is attached to the car body, so the car and driver stay fixed in the frame while the scenery outside rushes by. It shows speed and the driver's feelings together.

When to use it

Car and mobility service ads, commute and travel scenes, conversations and reactions inside the car.
