Description
A tough camera clamp for bikes, that transfers to most bars and tubes.
Part of the beauty of the GoPro HD Hero Camera is its go-anywhere versatility. And to make the most of it, you may want to be able to mount the camera securely to your bike. With the GoPro Mounting Clamp, you can attach your camera to any round or semi-round tube from 19 - 35mm in diameter. So you can have your camera on the chainstays, seatpost, handlebars, or even on the fork legs. Whatever view you choose, you can capture it.
The GoPro Handlebar Mounting Clamp includes the tool-free handlebar clamp and a three-way adjustable pivot arm so you can position the camera housing at any angle relative to the clamp.

If it's round it works

This thing will go anywhere round, which is great because I'm always trying to find new places to put this thing. As others mentioned always a good idea to line the the object you are clamping too with tape or foam.
Great for skiing
Jeff

This mount is really good for skiing when you mount it on a pole especially when you ski powder as it creates a really cool shot. Before I bought it, I thought that it might be a bit awkward skiing with only one pole and the other one straight out but it is very easy to get use to. If you use your skiing pole, you will most likely need to use some kind of tape (I used clear hockey tape) to increase the diameter of your pole so that the mount will not slide around. Also I used a screwdriver to tighten the thumb knobs because they will move under fast jerking movements.
Will break so use a lanyard

I used this on my commuter bike with the camera. The plastic snapped within 2 months of purchase (and that includes one month where the camera was being replaced under warranty so there was no load on the mount as I didn't have a camera). It failed at the last connecting piece closest to the camera (the piece that turns the camera to face forwards instead of sideways if you're mounting the camera on the handlebars and not the stem).
If you choose to buy this mount, make sure to attach a lanyard or string to the camera and to the bike so that you don't lose your expensive GoPro because of one dodgy piece of plastic.
I will be purchasing an alternative company's GoPro handlebar mount that will last longer than this piece of plastic.
Not recommended.
Perfect fit!

I got this specifically to mount to motorcycle's frame/swingarm spools/frame sliders and handle bars. It worked perfectly for all the applications. The only thing I would recommend is that you find something to line the inside of this with (foam/rubber etc.) to prevent the mount from easily turning once mounted. Other than that, great product, works great!

Bad stuff

First time used and it is broken. The kit does not support a common Montain Bike ride (it was a XC ride, not a downhill). The kit broke at 2 first Km... I really reccomend who want a bar kit for GoPro to seek other than original.

This mount is great for putting on the end of a trekking pole to get the best shots while filming yourself. Be sure to make the pole thicker with duct tape or preferably Shoo Goo. You don't need to glue the mount on, just make sure the glue is thick and dry.

Must have for alternate angles

These mounts work great for capturing different angles aside from POV. They do take a bit of time to get oriented correctly, bu do stay well put. I've onlyhad one tab break on me as a result of trying to clamp onto an awkward shape tighter than I should have tried. All in all, these mounts offer many new ways to shoot with your Go Pro.
May take some trial and error
Mark Laramee
Member since
My first attempt with this mount was a complete failure. I mounted it on my bars with all the pivot arms to capture my favorite light DH trail. Tightened it up as much as I could and by the time I got to the end of the trail the camera was pointing down at my tire. The playback was also very shaky.
I'm sure this would be fine for lighter trail rides and on the road where there is much less impact.
Despite my initial failure with the mount, I'm rating it 3 stars due to the fact that it's not just a handlebar mount. I have yet to try any other mounting locations, but the potential is there.
Update:
Removed as many of the pivot arms as I could and tried mounting on my handlebars again. Worked MUCH better. Rode the same trails as my initial attempt and the camera stayed in place for the 2-3 hours I was out.
Upped my rating to 4 stars due to the fact that I was able to make it work.
Shaky image, not work it.

The plastic pieces are not good quality, mine broke after one crash and the image is very shaky if you use it in your handlebar. If you are going to use it, try to mount it in the seatpost to reduce shaky video or get the k-edge which is by far better quality and eliminates shaky video.
Try the seatpost too!
David Platt
Member since
Tried a few different angles - handlebars forward is fine but the video can be a little bumpy (not too bad). Handlebars pointing toward me for a glamour (albeit sweaty and huffing and puffing) shot. Handlebars pointing toward your feet is interesting as you can see yourself pedal, shift and the suspension rear flex, also adds that camera is the center of the pivot feel which is cool.
But the seatpost mounts were even better. Pointing backward so you get the view of where you just were with the rear tires as reference. And pointing forward to see the top tube, bars, and the trail ahead of you - very interesting view.
I do use a cut piece of an old tube to make it extra secure and less likely to scratch the tubes.
Perfect Mount For a Pole
Jeff Guest
Member since
I use this mount on Powder Days snowboarding and it works great! I use it with a Trekking Pole so I can keep the pole short while it's not in use and extend it when I want to film myself! the trekking pole also has thicker on the expendable points so it fits better on the pole and you don't have to wrap tons of tape around the pole like you have to do with a ski pole. I also use this mount on my kiteboard handle while kiteboarding on the water. Fun views!
I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't fit on a ski pole by itself. you need to make the pole thicker with tape or something because the mount doesn't go that small. I really don't know what GoPro is thinking by not making a ski pole mount yet. Anyway... This is one of my most used mounts!

Useful mount for a variety of situations

I bought this mount primarily for my mountain bike handlebars; however, it has other uses as well (such as a ski pole). It fits well on my bike and I have had no problems with the angle slipping. Definitely a great mount to add to the collection.
Mount On Trekking Pole
Jeff Guest

I use this mount on a trekking pole so I can extend the pole when I'm filming myself and keep it short when not filming. the mount doesn't go small enough to grab onto a ski pole or trekking pole so I built up the thikness with some ShoeGoo. Been using this setup for a couple years now and it work great!
