(2 Packs) Fotasy CNC Aluminum Alloy Tripod Adapter for GoPro Cameras, Metal Tripod Mount Adapter for GoPro Hero Cameras HERO2 HERO3 Hero4 Hero5…

For some reason, each time I buy some GoPro accessories on Amazon, the J-hooks ones are always missing. So, those are great to have extra in the GoPro gear box.

The main use of those adapters was for my chest-harness, since those allows the camera to be adjusted in lot of different angles, as well as allowing the camera to come close to the chest, which is useful for straight forward filming.

There are 5 adapters in this set, which is good. The not so good part is that they do feel a bit cheaply made, and not as good as the original GoPro ones.

Though I see many good reviews of this mount, mine seemed to have come with stripped-out threads, and therefore, I can’t use it as it was intended. I was going to use it to mount a “Cycliq Fly12” (which has “GoPro” style mounts, and can be placed upside-down on your bars) however, being that said camera/light/alarm (read my review on the “Fly12” page for further details) is quite expensive (like many “GoPro” cameras [the LEAST expensive one is $129.99, which is rather inexpensive, actually; but as for most others….]) with that stripped thread (that came like that from the manufacturer) I did’nt want to take the chance it would ‘give way’ while I was driving down the road, and even though the camera has a safety tether, I STILL don’t want to risk a $350.00 camera/light/alarm! Anyway, I’m glad the mount arrives with an Allen wrench to tighten the screws (it fits them, but I can only tighten 1) The mount is geared to fit a 31.8mm (1.25 in) handlebar, but I used it on a smaller one, a 25.4 mm (1″) one, which required I use a thick rubber spacer from one of the lights I did’nt require any spacers for (In other words, I did a bit of jury-rigging). Now, to answer the question I had when I first ordered this (that being “how far does this extend from the handlebar?”) first off, the length of the entire mount, is 4″ (101.6 mm), as far as how far from the handlebar it actually extends, that answer would be 2″ (50.8 mm). Also, at the widest point in the area where the “GoPro” type mount is, it’s a little over 0.5″ wide (12.7 mm). But as I first said, 3 of the 4 screws were stripped out when it arrived, so be careful when you order this, and just be aware that this is possible, yet I hope
you don’t have to deal with it as I have.

(UPDATE 11/22/2016)
I was going to return this mount to get my money back, but it seems they have an exchange policy, and the company (as well as Amazon) were both VERY easy to work with, and they sent me a new mount for no charge, as well as not requiring me to send the other one back! (Actually, what are they going to do with a stripped-out mount, anyway?) They also had it ship VERY fast, (it got here in 2 days, when the original took around a week and a half!) while it worked great, and was’nt stripped at all! I guess the first one just snuck by quality control, and unfortunately got shipped to me! Still, the fact that the company had such great customer service, and replaced the mount so quickly, without a single question, made me VERY happy, along with making another loyal customer! I added 3 stars, since I was so pleased, and they were so easy to work with! Like I said in a previous review, customer service means a LOT to me!

EN GENERAL:
– El producto fue entregado en tiempo.
– El producto es de buena calidad e incluye su llave para instalarlo.

LO QUE DEBES SABER ANTES DE COMPRAR:
– Si el manubrio de tu bicicleta o el tubo en el que lo vayas a colocar es muy delgado, será necesario que agregues alguna cinta o hule para que la abrazadera quede fija.

Los tornillos no sujetan bien, claramente es un defecto de fabricación. Tanto los que sujetan el tubo como los que sujetan el soporte para la cámara se barren. No me refiero a que si aprietas demasiado, me refiero a que con solo apretar suavemente se barren.

All aluminum, not sure if it is 6061. Mounting it on a Trek Verve 3, with 22.2mm – 7/8″ bar. No one makes a mount like this for the 7/8″ standard bars. I’m wait on a (google this for a possible fix) Fixcraft handlebar shim 22.2mm to 31.8mm. I may have to cut the shim length down. The Fixcraft shim is 6061 aluminum, very well finished and has a spring retainer to hold the two halves together. It’s made for bars to gooseneck but I think it will be perfect for this mounting fix. I’ll put black electrical tape on the inside of shims to save from marring and grip the bar. Another big upside to this mount besides the price compared to the k-edge is that the standard GoPro thumb screw will work with this, threads are the same.

Update…
Didn’t want to wait on the metal shim, this fix may be much better. Went to ACE hardware picked up a few inches of very heavy black 1″ tubing. id had to be about 1/2″ or so. Split a section of tubing then cut off about 1/2″. Works perfect, cost a few cents and rock solid on a 22.2mm – 7/8″ bar.
