Whats a Good car mount system for the RED camera? Thanks in advance.

Strongly suggest you get yourself a competent grip, and tell him where you want the lens. He will have the gear. Hood mount, hostess tray, suction cups, rail, whatever is called for in the particular application.

If you believe mounting a camera to any vehicle that moves over any terrain, at any speed, is simple or inherently safe, think again.

A camera rig that comes loose at speed, or any part of it, is not just an expense; it can cause collateral damage and injury, and worse, if rolling down the road, e.g. in the path of other vehicles. There are hitch receiver mounts which are relatively simple and useful for certain angles, but even then, you have to know how to safety the camera and connected parts. Get a pro and avoid the consequences of a mishap.

I'm looking for a solution I can do myself. As a director if I wanted to pay some one everytime I needed something I wouldn't even buy a camera, id just higher one.
 
Rigwheels, Matthews Master Mount, Spyder Pod, etc.

If using suction mounts, make sure to clean the surface that your mounting to and use some form of safety straps for extra security.
 
The Matthews system looked great at NAB last year.
