Best GoPro mount?

Forum Sponsor
I personally think the chest mount works the best. Just use the multi-angle attachment so that you can easily vary the angle of the camera as you ride.

Another set-up that works well is to mount the GoPro on the end of a boom arm which is in turn mounted to your bike. The boom arm absorbs the vibrations very well. I used Ram mount products to make mine: an 18" rod with two "cup" connectors on each end. I had a ball mount on the GoPro and a ball mount on the side mirror mounting bolt.

The suction cup can fall off, especially in warm weather. I have two friends who lost their GoPros that way. I'd use a tether just in case.

Here's an old vid I took from the Tail of the Dragon using the boom type mount described above.

BusaBob,
thats a great idea! How did you mount the boom? to the mirror bolts? I know some bikes don't have the bolts easily accessible.
 
A personal favourite is mounting a roll cage mount onto a frame slider;

Some decently priced gopro accessories/mounts. Free shipping but usually takes a month or so. Read the reviews first.

Thanks for the link. I need a chest harness for MotoX and didn't want to drop $50 at best buy.
 
Well dont be too impressed cause that race ended with a big DNF due to a mean highside lol but thanks!
