Title: mounting options for the GoPro
Post by: viper on December 10, 2013, 09:03:22 PM
If im really really good santa may bring me a Gopro for xmas.

id like to find a good mounting position that does not view through the screen, im planning on having a 2inch tft monitor also installed.
What are my options, its looking like somewhere near the mirror mount. Not keen on footage from the on helmet position

??

Yeah, under the near side mirror is a good spot.

Just use one of the standard adhesive mounts, guarantee it won't fall off, just clean the area thoroughly first. I used auto glym intensive tar remover but anything solvent based will be fine. No need to drill anything.

is not above the mirror a more natural position?

I never tried it above the mirror however I felt having it below the mirror was more discreet and the footage is decent.

That's where I have mine - very stable shooting and can be powered from the accessories if you modify the GoPro housing.
(although I am impressed with MG's innovations)
