Default placing a rear dash cam in convertible

I am looking into getting a dashcam set up but if I do, want front and rear. As I study the options, in the convertible they seem very limited. I am contemplating putting one behind the seat under the roll hoop as visually least offensive but am unsure if it provides sufficient field of view. Has anyone tried this or have other ideas that seem to work.

When you find out let me know. I have a blackvue 650S-2CH and i haven't figured out what to do the rear one for the convertible.

i would think putting it under the roll bar would be short lived. seems like the wind would rip it out of there.

It is a tricky problem. I am thinking about the blackvue vs the thinkware f770 right now but may speak with a professional installer when I get time and see what they say

Anyone have an update for this? I just purchased a Rove R2-4K off Amazon that has high reviews and under $100.00. Thought is for that price use 1 for front and 1 for rear. Question is rear location. I thing under loop looks best, but will have to check coverage view. Second might be cabin side of wind deflector with hole cut and nice trim piece installed around hole. Last is trunk side of deflector. Thoughts?
