GoPro Hero Mounts

I've searched the forums and found some info on GoPro mounts but I'd like to see a thread that has pictures of several different styles of mounts in one place.

My wife got me a Hero3+ recently and I am looking at getting the PlaneAround mounts for the RV8. But, I would also like something that I could move over to the SuperCub as well.

I am sure the adhesive mounts would be OK on Cub-like speeds? I placed some adhesive mounts on a 1100hp spray plane (can pull ~170mph unloaded) and the pilot couldn't lose the GoPros (he tried). Needing adjustability of different angles - not just one shot/one view.

Saw an RV at Petit Jean with a special mount above the engine. Had RC servos on it and the pilot could pan it in flight 360 degrees. Looking backwards showed the pilot.

A buddy of mine has a GoPro mounted on the wing strut on his cub .. I believe he used the "handle bar" mount for a bicycle . . .

I have a standard clip on adhesive mount on an inspection panel under the left wing.

Been to 200kts a time or two and it's still there....... with camera

Make sure you prep the surface and glue on in good temperature and let the adhesive cure for a day or two.

The PlaneAround mount for the wingtip screws works very nicely.

I've been flying with my go pro for two years now. Standard adhesive mount on the fiberglass tip of my 6. I figure I'll replace it next year in case of UV degradation. Otherwise, I have no concerns in my application.
