Review on Official GoPro Mount: Grab Bag for Enhanced Photography and Video Recording by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Subtle, but the screw handle could be better

I used a 3 position swingarm on the bike today and it helped me adjust the angle of the handlebars but I had to tighten the bolts very hard to keep them in place. For the first few minutes of my ride the bottom screw wasn't tight enough (although I tightened it before driving off) so the camera slowly drifted down and finally stopped when I noticed it and stopped to fix it. After tightening the screw some more and then waiting and making the final turn, it held up the rest of the way until I was on rough terrain. I walked through some rocks and noticed the camera moving a bit, but that could also be due to the mount on my handlebars. Either way, this is a great set with some really useful items at a reasonable price. If you need extra parts this is a decent kit. I've included a video of the camera slowly drifting down to show what it did to the footage I was filming. It felt like a slow tilt like it was on purpose, but it was all because of a loose bottom screw in my mount.

Pros
  • Includes curved and flat adhesive mounts, two attachment buckles, a three-way swing arm, and a variety of short and long thumbscrews.
Cons
  • Very expensive
