Should have been more detailed. Mounts other than the actual cheap ones you get with the camera. What's everybody using?

Same question here. I made up an automatic roll off system for my gopro. Currently a prototype but getting ready to cut tooling for the production piece and it would be nice to have a heavier duty roll bar mount. The roll off system is large enough that I use two smaller roll bar mounts. But I had an idea to just make an aluminum version of the gopro roll bar mounts? Figure I could then go back to using just one mount. But would be interested in seeing what others are using. See if anyone was using a ball head mount? Steve

I use the one from speedway. Ran about 25 races last year (on some real rough tracks)and it took a beating but never broke or stretched. I do put a zip tie through the back of the door and zip tie it to the roll cage just incase it did break I wouldn't lose the camera.

The plastic GoPro mount will break and you will loose your camera if its not tethered.

What's the best way to tether the camera then?

Get an aluminum mount and you wont have to worry about it. I used a tether that I had from and old camera mount, I had my plastic mount break and found my camera up against the wall in turn three after all the races were done.

Just buy a 'Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp' goggle it
They can hold 30lbs.
You will need an attachment so camera can be screwed on in any angle
this clamp is very strong
