NWill Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll just get a real mount but this works quite well for crap sitting around my garage Edited July 11, 2015 by NWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I always just used my suction cup mount on the side of the headlight. I'm impressed you had enough room on sportbike bars to mount a x grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWill Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 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. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/10/46f8f2541961e75d8200694e02cee440.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I found it hard to find a good solid go pro Mount. I like my ram mount on the stem mount. And I can position that wherever and record off my phone. http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy296/rocky31186/Mobile%20Uploads/post_image2_zpsdgk4dzhh.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWill Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I liked mine way better than the x grip. Felt like it held my phone a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWill Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
