GoPro GoPro Handlebar, Seatpost and Pole Mount (Official GoPro Accessory)

Product Information

Always point the camera to your chin, as when you actually get on your bike, the position of your body changes from having your chest completely upright, to bended at at least 45 degrees angle.

This micro2u seatpost mount will clamp anything from 1.9cm to 3.5cm. Of course seatposts vary depending on frame and design, but the average bike seat post is 2.1 – 2.7cm wide – so most bikes should be covered here, as should most handlebars – so this does give you a more versatile option.On the downside, the PGYTECH is nearly double the price of the Forevercam Handlebar Mount. For this reason, it might not be the best choice for budget-conscious bikers. There are a couple of mounts I have that I use all the time, GoPro to 1/4-20, so it can be fitted on multiple still camera mounts You will find it quite lightweight and easy to carry around. It also comes with a T-clamp Gopro adaptor that would help you attach the gimbal stabilizer to any accessories your GoPro comes with.

To mount it to the bike I don’t use the Ram ball as I have had too many failures, heat and vibration are not their friends. The reason I use these over the plastic is they are a lot more durable and CNC machined not cast aluminum, with a machined in threaded section, not a nut that can fail, or fall out.The initial setup can be a little fiddly – and you will need to rebalance for different camera systems – but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s reasonably straightforward and the shots you can capture with it are easily worth the extra hassle. Some of the elements depend on the quality of the image, the resolution and frame per second count, but the most important is the way your camera is positioned. So, let’s take a closer look at the three factors you must consider when selecting your next GoPro bike mount. Handlebar Compatibility
