Using the threaded insert in the bottom of the camera is a
bad idea. Not only does it transmit any vibration directly
to the camera, it will crack the case(eventually). A box enclosure
lined with convoluted foam works very well. The mount on the website
that mounts to the headrest bracket places the camera to far forward
in the car. The camera needs to be back as far as possible. This will
help you see what your hands are doing.
