Go pro HD cam....

Son's handle bar mount worked fine on the top rail of the screen but wasn't quite big enough to go around the 2" A frame. That'd need to be the roll bar mount I think.

If your getting confused go into jessops to get a good idea! they stock everything in there & even if you dont buy there itll give you an idea. i got a hero 2 motorsports edition off ebay with a years warrenty for £185. Use it on my thundercat & you can mount it almost anywhere! even have a mount underneath the boat & it stays put! the sticky pads can be removed with a hair dryer if you decide you want rid of them so nothings perminent you put on. And the suction mounts very good! .......one thing i would say though if your using it on the boat....get a float for it & make a lease cause without a float the sink like bricks

& also to solve that vibrating sound with the clip in mounts. theres a white rubber thing that looks like a nose plug. once the mount is clipped into the sticky plates you push the rubber mount into the the gap to secure it. For leashes ive found that a boat kill cord works pretty well

Thats ace ..I had no idea Jessops carry the stuff as when I have searched for places online that I can go into nothing comes up .

Was one round Poole way or another you went into ?

( PS - did you get the ringo thingy out yet Luke ? )

[lukewhiting]

yeah the poole dolphin center ones good. Id check they have them in stock forst before going in though. Animal do them too in poole.

YES! got it out twice...suprising stable compared to my old 2 man one. thanks for that!

The Go Pro mounts that came with my camera had a soft plastic widget - in the foreground of the picture in the link - that you press into the interface between self adhesive mount and camera mount. Takes up all the slack

Edit: Oops ... repeating what Luke said above

Not concerned by how strong they secure, sure they are great. Just need it to be interchangeable between boats easily with having to buy extra pads, or leave pads on boats that leave.

Will pop into local retailer for a butchers when I get chance.

The Answer

As GoPro (or other manufacturers??) dont make a swivel mount, I have had to mount two sticky pads at right angles, thus. Not worried about leaving them on as I will use a hot-air gun to remove them.

Well...they used to have a full go pro stand etc , but its now in thier warehouse !!! The guy there was very helpful and understood my frustration , but alas no further progress...

May have to try places in Poole at the weekend ( its going to be wet and windy Sat any how) .

Not a totally wasted trip as I went to see lead sponser of the boat show (my client) ..so free tickets sorted !

going for the top of the aframe and hoping that the small flat area up there is big enough to take a 'flat mount' ....

Guy in Jessops couldn't even tell me the differance between the Hero and Hero 2....

I think if I can get away with it I can get a 'naked' Hero 2 which wil have the flat mount ...be in the waterproof caseing and I can make up a lanyard....simple ! ( hopefully ).

Whats daft is I have the cash in my wallet for it , but can't find anyone to help me buy it face to face ! I'll be into Animal in Poole tomorrow to see what they can or cant offer....

I used to have a hero1 & switched to hero2...the qualities amazing compared to the hero1.

Even if theres a vertical surface theres enough mount s to turn it up right. As for the A-frame dependent on the size a roll bar or handlebar mount should work perfect. It just screws round the tube.

I know there's a trust and confidence thing here, but I've had a HERO2 self adhesive mounted on the top of the A frame now for hundreds of miles. Sh$t and blanket spring to mind.

I started off with a lanyard but the damn thing flapped and squirmed around such that the video soundtrack sounded like a machine gun going off

I've also got a rear facing self adhesive mount on the top of the console. Ditto, sh$t and blanket.

Like I've said before, if it's good enough for Cookee's boat at 70mph plus ...

Edit: Be more aware of the camera to bracketry screw fittings. They need to be TIGHT as in TIGHT
