Dubguy85 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Are they permanent? Pics of yours mounted?Not permanent, but not a simple peel wont get them off either... Needs some heat..here is a picHere is a pic of when I used the suction cup.. Hard to use on the track because you bonk your head on it when you try and tuckThat being said, I bought these for my new race bike... It works pretty well and doesn't have to stick to anything! http://www.jenningsgp.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19989 Edited August 12, 2011 by Dubguy85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walther_gsp Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've used the 3m and suction mounts. They all work great. You are more than welcome to borrow mine to see if you like the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I got the motorsports HD one. I purchased the handle bar mount and use the hell out of it. Edited August 12, 2011 by blue03636 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have the GP Hero Wide motorsports. I tried the suction mount and it didn't work well. The vibration would take it off after a few laps. I use the "J" 3m mount on the windscreen and the regular mounts everywhere else. I need to get some new 3m tape as I've taken them off the old bodywork and I don't trust them to just push on and go again.To do it now, I would get the GP Motorsports HD having seen how much better the video is from mine vs nate's.

Hoblick Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 i use the 3m mounts.. they dont come off that bad when you want to remove them.but they arent as bulky as the suction mount, and you can put them in alot of places and swap the camera to each mount.iron pony has a grab bag of mounts you can get for under $20 if you want more, or different mounting options.

jagr Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Motorsports. The suction mount works well INSIDE the car. Haven't tried it on the outside. I use the handlebar mount on the bike. Works well. No pics right now. Casper. You haz one? If not you can borrow mine but I need it next weekend for Peletonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have the HD motorsports and use the mirror block off plates that Andy posted a link to. Helps a lot to cure the vibration/shaking issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I know people have used the Go Pro successfully, but I never found a way to mount mine on the bike without having killer vibration blur the video or still shots. And yet I've run other cameras just fine without the problems.I used the suction cup mount on the front fender with a safety strap, thinking that the front forks would not travel far enough to knock it loose. I was wrong, and knocked it so it pointed down at the ground, at the end of the driveway, entering the street.edit: oops, yeah, the Motosports kit Edited August 12, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps a ton to reduce vibration.Looks good. Short and solid mounts work best. I ended up located on center line of the bike, at the handlebars. Still had vibration. Used another camera, and it worked very good in that location. Gave up trying to get the GoPro to work. I prefer cameras that have the anti-shake feature.edit: I should go back and look it over. It acts like the camera is loose inside the clear plastic case.Wouldn't take much movement to shake and blur.

natedogg624 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 shouldn't be loose enough to rattle that much. i'd venture to say it's the mount that's rattling. the new GoPros include a rubber boot that you insert into the mount/clip that secures it better. if you don't have that, another trick is a small corner of a paper towel and putting it between the mount and the clip.

Hit Brandon up on the Contour unit, he will give you a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
