Once that’s done, you can go ahead and put your GoPro case on it. You can adjust it in other ways later using the other two bolts. I like to have my mount as close to the centerline as possible, and also I’d mount this first bolt resulting in the mount being flush (flat) with the ground. So initially you might think it’s too big of a spacer, but in reality, just apply a bit more effort to close the clasp and then screw it tight. I’ve got a pretty good eye for spacers these days with doing this all the time on various bike mounts, but the GoPro ones requires you to hold it a bit firmer and then really crank it down on the spacer. It actually took me about three attempts to get it right, which was slightly more than I expected. You’ll need to figure out which is the right spacer to use. But this GoPro mount is.įirst, we’ll get it installed on my handlebars. They aren’t designed to change the recording angle of the camera infinitely. See, virtually all other GoPro handlebar mounts (made by any number of companies) are designed to be mounted onto the bar and locked tightly in place. In fact, that’s really the singular reason it’s cooler than many other GoPro handlebar mounts. What’s cool about the handlebar mount is its adjustability. I used the middle-child spacer on my bike, which is 6g (and the weight shown above). Here’s the weight of the smallest spacer, and the thickest spacer. Obviously a skinnier spacer might save a few grams, and a thicker spacer might cost you a gram or two. For the handlebar mount, I used the spacer that fit my road-bike, as a reference point. Ok, in order to keep this section from being absurdly short – here’s the weights of both. Which, may be my smallest unboxing section ever. I’ll cover adjustments in a little bit.Īs you can see above, there isn’t much in the box – so that’ll conclude the unboxing section for the handlebar mount. You’ve also got that hex wrench to adjust all three of the bolts on the unit. This requires you find the right spacer for your specific bar. Meaning that on some other mounts on the market, you’ve got two screws that allow for near limitless up/down sizing. The downside is that the design of the system isn’t as flexible without these. The upside to this is that you’ve got lots of options. These allow you to use it with a large number of different sized bars (round-only, not aerobars). The four additional spacers combine with the fifth spacer located in the unit already. This gives you: The handlebar mount itself, four additional spacers, a small hex wrench for adjustment, a baggie for the extra spacers, and a tiny paper manual. First up is the GoPro handlebar mount, and then after I’ll cover the saddle rail mount.Īfter removing the clear plastic shell containing the handlebar mount, you’ve got this pile of parts:

The two mounts come in two different packages, as they are two different products.

Here ya go – complete in 4K awesomeness!Īgain, no stabilization in software was used. But…given it’s the shortest unboxing experience ever, I don’t think you’ll be missing out too much there.

What’s that? Text not your thing? No problem – for those that want to skip this review, I’ve got almost all the same goodness in a single 6 minute long video. As is the bike and my awesome jersey, and everything else you see….just to be clear. All of the actual GoPro’s used on the mounts are mine that I’ve bought. Once done, as usual, I’ll toss them back in a box and ship them back to California. Speaking of which, GoPro sent these mounts over for me to trial.

Plus, GoPro didn’t send it in the box to try out. I won’t be covering the new side-helmet mount, as it’s not 100% cycling specific. Both of which I’ve been using for about 2-3 weeks now. I’ll dive into both the new handlebar mount, as well as the new saddle mount. They made something that’s actually unique in the market and specific to cycling. And that’s what they did here with the new handlebar mount that can rotate in numerous directions. Plus, if designed right (such as the new handlebar mount), you can still use it for other uses and get some pretty cool shots. But at the same time, sometimes specificity fits better. Instead, they were designed for any roundish object, be it a handlebar, a stripper pole, or pogo stick.Īnd that’s fine, after all – versatility and flexibility is the name of the game when running a massive international logistics operation. In the past, they had mounts that worked for cycling (kinda), but they weren’t actually designed for mounting to a bike. This would actually be the first time that GoPro has directly released a bike-specific mount (let alone three of them). Last month GoPro announced a handful of new mounts, three of which were focused on cycling.
