In some embodiments, an apparatus may install easily like a simple cell phone holder while facilitating controlling cameras mounted and/or fixed to a vehicle using a cell phone. For example, the system may facilitate installing, monitoring, powering and/or controlling vehicle mounted sensors without having to integrate the system into each particular vehicle. An aspect of some embodiments of the current invention relates to an integrated apparatus for mounting a mobile device and a media sensor on an open and/or two wheeled vehicle and for positioning a media sensor on that vehicle. Optionally, a camera integrated to the mount such that the field of view (FOV) of the camera is preserved over a desired scene even as the position of the mobile device is changed and/or the vehicle performs various maneuvers. In some, embodiments an integrated apparatus may be mounted to a rearview mirror of a vehicle.
