Full details
The GoPro Flexible Grip Mount is for adventurers and content creators seeking versatile camera placement. Its key benefit is the ability to attach your GoPro to virtually any object, opening up unique shooting angles. A potential caveat is that extreme vibrations might affect stability on very flexible attachment points. This mounting plate, made of durable plastic, utilizes Nite Ize Gear Tie® Rubber Twist Ties for secure attachment to irregular shapes like railings, branches, or bike frames, allowing for creative perspectives with a 360-degree rotating base and quick-release buckle.

FAQs
What makes this mount 'flexible'?
The flexibility comes from the Nite Ize Gear Tie® Rubber Twist Ties, which allow you to wrap and secure the mount around curved or irregular surfaces that fixed mounts cannot accommodate.
Can I use this mount on a moving object like a car?
While possible, it's not recommended for high-speed or high-vibration moving objects, as extreme movement could compromise stability and the integrity of the attachment. It's best suited for stationary or slow-moving, stable objects.
How do I replace the Gear Ties?
The Gear Ties are designed to slide off the mount base and new ones can be slid on. Ensure the new ties are fully secured before attaching your camera.
Is the 360° rotation lockable?
The rotation is smooth and allows for precise positioning. While it doesn't have a distinct locking mechanism, the friction of the mechanism is designed to hold the camera in place unless adjusted.
What is the weight limit for this mount?
The mount itself is designed for GoPro cameras. The stability and weight-bearing capacity ultimately depend on the strength and rigidity of the object you attach it to and how securely the Gear Ties are fastened.
Can I attach multiple GoPros with this mount?
No, this mount is designed to hold one GoPro camera at a time.
Troubleshooting
Mount feels loose on an object
Ensure the Nite Ize Gear Ties are twisted tightly and securely around the object. Verify the object itself is stable and not prone to movement.
Camera is shaking excessively
Check the stability of the object the mount is attached to. Try a thicker or more rigid object. Ensure the Gear Ties are not the primary source of movement.
Gear Ties are difficult to twist or show wear
Replace the Nite Ize Gear Tie® Rubber Twist Ties. They are designed to be replaceable and can be purchased separately.
Quick-release buckle is stiff
Ensure the buckle is clean and free of debris. A gentle wipe with a dry cloth should suffice. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dirt.
