Default Glue advice please

I bought this small camera mount that I want to glue onto the storage area in between the NAV dvd box and the little storage bin. It's plastic.
Can someone recommend a good strong glue to use? Or perhaps there's a better way?
I was recommended a product called "Goop" at the hardware store. They said it holds better than superglue and is easier to work with. Any advice would be appriciated.

use epoxy, the kind that comes in two bottles that you have to mix. That stuff will stick very well but is a pain to get off. Or use 3M industrial dbl sided mounting tape ( gray stuff with red backing) The 3M stuff also sticks very well but is easier to get off than epoxy.

Just FYI in case anyone cares, I tried Epoxy, Goop, and 3M Adhesive, and none worked. Epoxy did the best, but with a fairly mild tug on the tripod leg, it came right off. I found it odd that literally no epoxy was left on the plastic of the storage area... it came clean off!
Anyway, going to pick up some Gorilla Glue tonight and try that.

Exclamation Beware Gorilla Glue!

I just used GG on a home project and might suggest extreme caution in it's use. During the cure cycle, the adhesive foams up to 3-4 times its original volume! The foam goes everywhere and drips very easily. In short, while it seems to bond wood-to-wood really well, and fills gaps very nicely, it is a messy proposition to use and a watchful eye is needed to prevent the foam from dripping everywhere you do not want it to be. HTH.
