What's the advantage of one that's ball mounted? Mine replaced the rearview mirror, so it looks completely stock (doesn't need to be removed when parking in questionable areas) and doesn't take up dash space.

It gives me the ability to move the camera to different vehicles as needed. I have seen the WolfBox set up and considered it for the reasons you mention, and might head down that path if I cannot find something suitable.

Which mirror cam did you get?

I have the wolf box with their universal ball mount for it, just bolts on to the back of the camera and then can use what ever mounting arm system you would like. I have it attached to my overhead Molle panel.

Accessories come and go, and what I use is currently out of stock, but hopefully it will provide a bit of guidance nonetheless.

I've a GoPro clone attached via a RAM ball and socket to this dashboard tray.

I did not think wolf box made one - which model is it?

Sorry for the confusion I was remembering wrong but here is my setup. I have the wolf box g900 with there factory mount. This bolts to the back of the wolf box.

Here is a couple of pics of the setup ran all the wires up behind the plastic and then came out opening left from removing the factory mirror.
