Where to mount the go pro?
« on: September 10, 2013, 05:31:09 PM »
Hey all, I've got a project coming up and I want to mount my go pro for a timelapse while riding. I have a tinted screen, so didnt want to put it behind that.

Is there any simple place I can mount the camera towards the front of the bike without major fuss? I did a search of the forum for pro tips, but couldnt find much.

If you're not scared about sticking it to the plastic. I have mine mounted between the windshield and the lights. and also have a mount just under the mirror.

What mounts are you guys using then? Im never keen to have something STUCK onto the plastics when travelling at 100kmh down the highway. I want bolts!

Just the double sided tape mounts that come with it. They have been on the for a year now. They aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Rock solid.

I you're worried just tie some string to the go pro and fasten it to the bike.

Mine is mounted on the windscreen on the RHS. I just used one of the supplied curved sticky mounts and it hasn't budged.
