Gopro mounting?

[MDM 53]

Just got my new gopro Hero 4Silver. Where is everybody mounting these and what mount are you using? Want to use on the trip to Spyder Fest

mmmmm, your profile doesn't list any spyder model so I'll have to punt and say a JT dash mount for an RT works well.

I've tried it all over the spyder, and the only place that is dynamic vs static is on my helmet. Of course when I do that, the LCD backpack viewer isn't much use.

Spyder RT

I use this and I have JT dash mount as well.

I can't make out the picture very well but it looks like you have the camera looking forward but not behind the windshield. And you are using the JT dash mount correct? I have been looking at doing that with the camera attachment laying flat on the dash from the JT mount with the camera sticking out past the windshield. I have tried using the camera behind the windshield in the past on my 2 wheeler and the bugs usually interfered with a decent picture. I have the JT dash mount for my gps and it is great for that.

I also thought about using one of those gopro grip attachments on that small clear wind deflector. I put that on recently and it seemed secure but haven't had it on the road yet with the camera on it. I am worried that the camera may have too much vibration sticking out like that unsupported.

I guess as long as the camera is tied to the spyder it won't be lost.

Lots of people don't suggest it, but I stuck a regular GoPro mount to my left mirror.. I do, however, keep a safety line attached. So far no probs.

Mine is mounted on the right side just under my mirror.

Does what I need it to do.

The picture above is of the GoPro mounted to the right windshield deflector using a suction mount wit a safety strap. I also have a JT dash mount (below) and use that occasional. However, the dash mount is behind the windshield and I sometimes get glare in the video.

I find it depends on the type of video you want. I have a mount on the back trunk lid, to get video of riders behind me on group rides. One below the mirror and one down low that gives a view of the shock etc. depends what you are looking to capture!

Sounds like a fun setup.

This is how I mount mine. To the helmet on the chin bar.
Give a cool perspective and looks where I look.
