Gopro mounting?

[MDM 53]

Just got my new gopro Hero 4Silver. Where is everybody mounting these and what mount are you using? Want to use on the trip to Spyder Fest:yes:

mmmmm, your profile doesn't list any spyder model so I'll have to punt and say a JT dash mount for an RT works well.

I've tried it all over the spyder, and the only place that is dynamic vs static is on my helmet. Of course when I do that, the LCD backpack viewer isn't much use.

I use this and I have JT dash mount as well.

I can't make out the picture very well but it looks like you have the camera looking forward but not behind the windshield. And you are using the JT dash mount correct? I have been looking at doing that with the camera attachment laying flat on the dash from the JT mount with the camera sticking out past the windshield. I have tried using the camera behind the windshield in the past on my 2 wheeler and the bugs usually interfered with a decent picture. I have the JT dash mount for my gps and it is great for that.

I also thought about using one of those gopro grip attachments on that small clear wind deflector. I put that on recently and it seemed secure but haven't had it on the road yet with the camera on it. I am worried that the camera may have too much vibration sticking out like that unsupported.

I guess as long as the camera is tied to the spyder it won't be lost.

Lots of people don't suggest it, but I stuck a regular GoPro mount to my left mirror.. I do, however, keep a safety line attached. So far no probs.

Mine is mounted on the right side just under my mirror.

Does what I need it to do.

The picture above is of the GoPro mounted to the right windshield deflector using a suction mount wit a safety strap. I also have a JT dash mount (below) and use that occasional. However, the dash mount is behind the windshield and I sometimes get glare in the video.

I find it depends on the type of video you want. I have a mount on the back trunk lid, to get video of riders behind me on group rides. One below the mirror and one down low that gives a view of the shock etc. depends what you are looking to capture!:thumbup:

Sounds like a fun setup.

This is how I mount mine. To the helmet on the chin bar.
Give a cool perspective and looks where I look.
