Smatree Aluminum Tripod Mount Adapter Compatible for Gopro Hero 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3+, 3, 2, 1 HD, GOPRO Hero 2018, DJI OSMO Action Camera

Works fine. Fits on my camera tripod okay. No way to tell what the “quality of the material” is until I’ve used it for a while and see if it cracks, but it seems to be made of a similar plastic to the standard GoPro accessories.

Took off one star because the photos SEEM to imply that it comes with the thumb turn bolt that connects it to the camera frame (a bolt with the “Smatree” company logo is shown in some of the photos). It does not come with the bolt, so you have to use yours. I have three bolts for my different GoPro mounts, so I just used one of them, and it fit fine. Still, the description should clearly state that the mount doesn’t come with the bolt, or eliminate the photos showing the bolt.

These mounts are great if you don’t need to ensure that the camera doesn’t move. The two openings on the mount are 3.22 – 3.25 mm wide. The mounting parts of the GoPro are 3.0 mm wide. While .22 mm doesn’t seem like much, the aluminum is so sturdy you cannot squeeze it together enough to hold the camera in place. Very little force is needed to adjust the camera even when tightened with a screwdriver.
For reference, the plastic mount of the same type from GoPro is 3.0 mm at the base and 2.8 mm at the top. It is flexible enough to allow the mounting tabs to insert and then the screw will tighten and lock the camera in place.
If you’re just mounting a GoPro to a tripod and it will be sitting in one place, this is a great adapter. If you’re placing the camera on a moving vehicle for instance, this will allow it to move from the intended aiming point.

Well made and fits my GoPro 8 Black like a glove. Good quality billet Aluminum and not cheap cast pot metal. I never trust plastic much when it comes to real life environments so I got this.

If the slots are too large on yours and it won’t tighten up all the way use thin paper to wedge in between the slots or paint it. Fill that extra space with something as the camera is not going to see it. So if it looks odd but works, it still works.

These have worked fantastic as a replacement to the plastic tripod mounts I had been using.
Previously, I have had a handful of the plastic tripod mounts break on me. Since I primarily use the tripod mounts with dive gear, including on pelagic dives (very deep water) I was concerned a mount would break during a dive and I would potentially lose a camera in 5k foot deep water. When I was looking for replacements, I stumbled across these and decided to give them a shot. After quite a few dives, these have worked really well. I have not had any issues with the camera not being held well enough in place. My only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to get the holes lined up to run the bolt through the housing and the mount. I’m guessing they keep the tolerances very tight so the camera doesn’t slide around.
All in all, if you are looking for a heavier duty mount for your go pro, I would recommend this without hesitation as I have had great luck with them.

Muy sólido, de aluminio, encaja Perfecto en las Gopro y sobre todo funciona perfecto para la Gopro Max porque la rosca 1/4 y las patitas quedan justo al centro, eso hace que se produzca el efecto de desaparecer el bastón sin problema.

En el primer uso la rosca para el tornillo de apriete se barrio por lo que quedó inutilizable. La pieza, como es de aluminio, es muy rigida y no aprieta lo suficiente para mantener la camara fija, demasiado cara para lo que es y muy barata como para perder el tiempo en su devolución

As the name implies, I purchased this mount so I could attach my GoPro Hero 5 Black to my tripod. I want to get some beautiful time lapse for my YouTube videos. The low price had me a little cautious because you always get what you pay for. I am happy to report that the mount is solid and a sound investment. It is indeed made of aluminum, but not weak and bendable as one would expect from cheaper products. It is very sturdy and will hold your GoPro in place while you screw in the retaining screw. The one I purchased did not come with a retaining screw, but my stock GoPro retaining screws thread in perfectly. The mount also attaches to my tripod securely, and I have used it several times before writing this review. Because of the quality of this mount, I have looked into buying other Smartee products and will provide reviews on them after testing.
