Rugged Blue

My wife just got me a Go Pro. I want to get some ideas on mounts and placement.

Try this thread. There's probably a half dozen more just like it.

Thanks

When I'm on the trails with a group, I mount mine at the very top of the windshield with the GoPro suction mount. You have to find that small, sweet spot where your windshield wipers leave that small void at the very top. It won't be in the center of the windshield...it will be just a little bit towards the driver side. Works perfect there, and I still have access to my wipers.

I stuck the flat stick on mount that comes with the camera on the dash next to the tweeter pod and I use the roll bar mount on my stinger.

I mount mine behind the rearview mirror. Ran a USB behind the trim pieces so I can plug it into the lighter adapter. Then just use the WiFi remote to control it. Just bought another GoPro so I'll probably get a little more creative with mounting on the exterior.

I do the rollbar mount on the rear passenger door (I like this one the best), rock sliders, or mirror post, and the little clip on one on the 2 soft top attachment points right above the windshield.

I just picked up one of the SJ4000 cameras off amazon. It is just like a Fo Pro but 400 dollars cheaper. 😋 I put the mount on my front bumper beside my winch. That gets a good shot, but I'll probably get a suction mount and stick it on the body just behind the front tire.

How did you get it $400 cheaper than a $300 camera? My Hero3 White was $299.

The 4 is like 499 with wifi and all that stuff. This is an amazon link to it, which is what I was originally looking at with the 499 dollar price tag:

This is the one I ended up buying because of the reviews, which has the same features. I figured why the heck not:

Amazon.com : Lionbay® SJ4000 (1080P 1.5 Inch 12MP 170°A+ HD Wide-angle Micro USB 2.0?Micro HDMI) WIFI Action Camera Diving 30M Waterproof Camera Full HD Underwater Sport mini Camera Sport DV (White) : Camera & Photo

It comes with 6 different mounts, replacement seals, all kinds of stuff. I had it out on my last trail ride and it takes great video. So if you do the math on it, 500 dollar camera vs. a 60 dollar camera that has the same features, I saved over 400 bucks. It even uses the go pro mounts if so inclined.
