Full details
This GoPro ¼-20 Mounting Finger Adapter is for creators looking to integrate their GoPro with standard camera equipment like tripods and monopods. Its key benefit is expanding mounting versatility by adding a ¼-20 thread to GoPro's mounting system. A minor caveat is that it adds a small amount of bulk to your setup. The adapter is constructed from lightweight aluminum, features a rubberized platform for stability, and seamlessly connects to existing ¼-20 mounts and GoPro mounting fingers, enabling new configurations with tripods, poles, and 360° setups.
