Show me your go pro mounts

[Thrustyjust]

Need to get one for its maiden journey next weekend, so china's stuff is out, but any recommendations please ?

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

What do you want to mount it to?

 

I use this official mount to attach to my roll bar.

 

There are stockists in the UK.

I also have one of these which I wear under a wooly hat.

I've got a tip tie style mount from Amazon and it's been perfect. Easy to get on and off and holds in place really well.

[Onliest Smeg David]

I use mainly combination of

 

Manfroto Clamp and 492 Ball Socket with GpPro tripod adapter

which I find versatile and quick to mount or remove.

 

Can be mounted on Windscreen pillar...

 

In detail...

 

I do use the standard Roll Bar mount sometimes, but it's definitely not as secure/rigid.

And I find that the bolt head twist in the 'open' side of the mount.

 

I also use different 'bolts' than original, as can be seen (blue) in pictures, which are much easier to tighten.

Cheers guys. I will get a decent one , but now need to find the go pro, as the daughter has nicked it !! kids !!

Here's mine, a length of aluminium angle bolted to the screen pillar with bike mount that came with the camera fastened to it.

If you're looking for something you could stick to the bodywork, I was surfing a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the amount of abuse the sticky mounts designed for that could take. Hey come with an extra tether bit too for piece of mind. The brand I got was goliton or something similar. They're on Amazon pretty cheap.

[Onliest Smeg David]

Yep - the stick on mounts are very durable.

I had one on a ski for 3 weeks skiing without any signs of coming adrift, despite a few wipe outs!

You can screw a go pro bracket to the rivnut that westfield install into the windscreen frame
