GO Pro Question

[scottie mac]

Got a question for your guys who have used the Go Pro Hero camera. How do you mount it to your skis? Are you trusting the 3M adhesive patches with holding it when going thru water or are you using the suction cup to connect to the hulls?

I saw some vids of people doing re-enteries with these things and I am wondering how they keep the camera from popping off if I hit a wave or something rough.


Thanks,
Scottie

yes people have been using the sticky mounts, but be SURE to tether it properly no matter how you attach it.

Mine didn't come with a tether, lol. I guess I could zip tie some rope to it or something.

they dont come with tethers, you have to make something

The suction cup will not stay on if you go under water. It's ok for just cruising around and jumping a little. Actually the suction cup part on my mount ripped off and I'm gonna try to use 3M automotive tape to stick it on my ski instead. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna have to make a mount to go in the bow eye and use the handlebar mount somehow.

I use a lanyard to tether mine. When it's on the nose of the ski, the tether is attached to my limiting rope. When its on my helmet, the tether is attached to the strap on my helmet.

I mounted the camera right by the gas cap on the nose of the ski and tethered it to the tow loop. Worked like charm. Thanks guys,

I use the 3M sticky mount and run a tether to my limit rope. Works like a charm.
