$1 Fork Stem Mount

Recommended Posts

I was screwing around with mounting my Gopro. I don't have any room on the bars since I have my X-Grip there. Came up with this....http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/10/ae7482100e678e13e4c9547ea199d6e3.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/10/480cae035344599f8ca537e5234ee99b.jpg

 

Just gotta figure out the actual mounting bracket to the GoPro. I'll see when the mail shows up with it any minute.

 

If all else fails, I'll loctite a 1" drawer knob on the top to be used with RAM mounting gear

It's a little janky but it's rock solid other than a rubber mount to dampen vibration. I'm sure I'll just get a real mount but this works quite well for crap sitting around my garage

I didn't have room, till I found this cheap solution from RAM. I think it was $12 or so. Iron pony has them, I got mine from Amazon with a few other things.

Thats the stem mount I stole my idea from. I wanted that phone mount but they don't fit my phone with case. Iron Pony only has a few left. Apparently they are getting replaced with the X-Grip.

Agreed. I wrap hair ties around mine just in case. I'm going to make little wire tethers if I can do it cleanly.

 

The guy at Iron Pony said he's heard of 5 dropping phones out of the 750 they've sold. I still don't trust them and I would hate to be one of those 5, and that doesn't count whoever didn't go back and bitch.

 

Edit: He also said the one you have has failed when those little tabs break, luck of the draw I guess. Could be from sun exposure over long term. Who knows, I'd still trust yours over the X-Grip
