GoPro mounting

[RKTNMYPKT]

I've had this GoPro hanging around since Christmas, thought I'd give it a try

Has anybody tried using the suction cup mount on the tank? I'm trying to avoid mounting it on my helmet if possible

Thanks!

I use go pros on my bike but I'm not sure if I'd have a lot of faith in a suction cup. I use various RAM mounts along with a variety of gopro mounts to attach the camera to different locations on the bike.
GPS CITY has a good selection of mounts

The gopro bicycle mount works great on the handlebars.

I have a bunch of mounts with the adhesive back, But I'll only use those on the helmet if I go that way, I'll look around for the handlebar mount you mentioned

The suction cup seems pretty secure though.....

I put mine on the crash bar. Gives a good view and nice to see the front suspension working

By the way, biggest problem with the suction cup mount the way you have it (assuming it's secure) is the number of extensions you have. In my experience that set up will give you a fair bit of vibration. 1 join is best and 2 is OK if you can get them tight enough.

Like CanberraR3 I mounted mine on my crash bars. I did have a chest mount but did not like it as it showed my speedometer, call me paranoid but I don't want any video evidence of my speed(ing).

I am going with this mount and using it on the front forks. http://www.gpscity.com/ram-mount-gopro-roll-bar-strap-mount-ram-b-149z-2-gop1u.html
My camera is a SJ4000 which is a $99 copy of a GoPrO and takes excellent movies though with less options than the Hero.

Yeah. As I was piecing all those together I was thinking the same thing.....
