My buddy has a Virb 360 camera ordered, and we are wondering what people are using to mount it externally, if anything.

I have this:

(a slightly earlier version, but essentially identical), and the Virb apparently comes with a baseplate mount that will fit it (same GoPro style tabs on the bottom). But I don't know (yet) how secure that is.

Anyone have any experience here? TIA!

Works well

My mount is almost identical. It woks great on both the RV10 and Highlander.

The link below is a quick movie from under the left wing of the Highlander.

I should have added it was shot with the VIRB 360.

I use a couple of mounts I bought at Sun n Fun last year made by FlightFlix. I
use one on the the wingtip and another in the tie down. Check them out if
interested.

I think my question is being misunderstood here.

I *have* a "mount" that will attach a camera to the wing, the NFlight ball and socket mount that I use with my GoPro. For that, I use the GoPro waterproof housing on the GoPro itself, and attach the camera/housing to the mount, no problemo.

What am asking about is not the *mount*, I guess, but the camera/cradle thing for the Virb 360:

I want to know if it's secure enough for use out in the open, on the wing, attached to this mount:

(i.e., instead of that plastic full-body housing, just the sole plate that the Virb 360 uses).

I don't want the camera departing from the cradle during flight.
