GoPro GoPro Handlebar, Seatpost and Pole Mount (Official GoPro Accessory)

Product Information

Or, take it to the next level and if you’re out cycling with friends who also have GoPro’s switch between cameras when it comes to the edit. I also put a dab of Loctite on the screws just to ensure they stay in place and don’t work free over time. It was an extremely welcome move when GoPro started introducing touchscreens into its Hero cameras, but screens of course do need to be looked after, and this is doubly true for action cameras that are thrown into tough situations. This mount is built with aluminum alloy and plastic, making it virtually indestructible but incredibly lightweight as well. In comparison to the Forevercam Handlebar Mount, the PGYTECH Mount offers better build quality and stability. Therefore, you should choose this option if you want a more premium GoPro handlebar mount.

In terms of setup, it takes a few seconds to clamp the mount to your handlebars. It fits any round tube from 0.87 to 1.38 inches. However, you can also attach the mount to reflective mirrors with a diameter ranging from 0.27 to 0.63 inches.I’ve used these again as a secondary mount, and although they can be used with mountain bikes, there is always the fear they’ll get caught on something. This one also works with any compatible headlight, making it an easy way to add (and remove) a light if you’re not running a cycling computer. A good idea here is to sync all the cameras crudely. If one of you shouts start recording and then once all cameras have started one of you claps as loudly as possible, you’ll have an audio key to sync the clips when editing. Using remotes and apps

Again as with the helmet and bar mount the chest mount makes a great primary camera position. Using multiple GoPro cameras on your bike GoPro accessories come in all shapes, and sizes and all have a unique way in which they can help us improve our filmmaking. These might gain you extra height while on location or keep your GoPro from sinking after that radical wave, thanks to flotation handles or surrounds.Some mounts have a screw system, some are clamps, and some are a combination of the two. You have to decide which mounting mechanism will work the best for your bicycle, as they all work well in different situations. Build Quality

All the accessories within this guide are either produced by GoPro themselves or by third parties that we know offer great solutions at a good price point to help boost your filmmaking. From chest mounts, and spare batteries, to lens mods - there is something for everyone on any budget. In terms of build quality, this mount is made with waterproof materials. For this reason, you don’t need to worry about getting it covered in rain or snow. The 360-degree rotational capabilities let you easily adjust your camera to any position. It’s also one-size-fits-all and a perfect fit for any size adult wrist. It’s essentially a harness, pop it on, bolt on the GoPro and you’re ready to go. The over the view perspective of the bar as you ride is impressive; it can also highlight any mistakes that you make when riding the trial. Always consider the size of your handlebars when searching for mounts that clamp on them. If the handlebars are large, it is possible that the mount will not be big enough to clamp down in a way that keeps the camera steady. Mounting MechanismBefore you start, it’s worth knowing a few basics about the bike mounts that are available and also a few techniques that will help transform your footage. GoPro’s current lineup of action cameras offer some of the best video stabilisation around, but for cinematic camera movements, nothing quite compares to a dedicated gimbal. Compact and versatile, the Zhiyun Crane M2 S is a three-axis stabiliser that can be paired with your GoPro, smartphone or mirrorless camera. It offers dedicated stabilisation modes for recording smooth panning, POV and follow shots and even boasts a vortex mode for filming creative transitions. In addition, it comes with a small wrench to tighten the mechanism once you’ve rotated it to your desired angle. Everything works well together, but it can be difficult to remove due to the tight screws.

The number is also pushed up by the fact that not every GoPro is exactly the same; the shape (and battery shape) changes over time, so essentials change too. What we look for in GoPro accessories This is probably one of the most popular mounts going, and there’s a huge selection of manufacturers making them, including GoPro.GoPro’s action cameras are a fantastic way to record your activities – but to get the best footage, you’ll need the best GoPro accessories. If you do use the GoPro style of clamp make sure you select the correct sized rubber shim for your bar type. Once in place also make sure it’s clamped down tight, and you switch on HyperSmooth or image stabilisation to cut out the inevitable vibrations. Adding a GoPro seat mount to your bike
