Works but could be more rugged.
This review is from: GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount for HERO Cameras (Electronics)
When using this to mount my GoPro camera, one of the sections broke due to a fatigue failure of the plastic. The problem is caused by the camera vibrating at the end of the bracket causing it to eventually break. I now need to replace the mount and the camera housing. Amazingly the camera still works after flying off my bike at 60 mph. One other problem is the screws that are inside the adjusting knob will sometimes not spin with the knob when trying to tighten the bracket. I solve this by carrying a small screwdriver with me when using the mount but it's one more thing I need to take with me.

needs a horizonal left-right swivel
This review is from: GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount for HERO Cameras (Electronics)
I've been using this mount on my handlebars, but due to the shape of my bars I cannot locate this mount where it doesn't point the camera at too much of an angle off to the sides of the road. The mount really needs a left-to-right swivel point to adjust for this. Otherwise a good mount, stable and easy to secure.

The long awaited gopro handlebar mount has arrived
This review is from: GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount for HERO Cameras (Electronics)
The product works as expected.
What you get is the clamp that will fit most handlebars and seatposts and two extensions of different lengths. The only con is that it doesn't come with rubber strips that most bicycle accesories come with to help hold the clamp in place.
At first the clamp slipped on the bar no matter how tight I made it, adding a strip of rubber fixed that problem. While riding the camera seems to vibrate a lot but on reviewing the videos the images were as good as one would expect. I took videos while riding both on and off road and was pleased with the results.
Audio is horrible when using this product. The vibrations cause a constant buzzing that gets very irritating during playback. But this isn't a big issue as I think most people would dub their videos with either music or commentary anyway.
If you own a gopro helmet or motosport camera this is a handy and reccomended accessory.
If you only own the basic wriststrap gopro you'll need to buy the helmet/motosport housing to use this accessory.

It's Plastic!
For the price, I expected the mount to be made of metal (it does look like it, but is actually plastic)

The clamp was still slippery on my mtn bike handle bar.

GoPro seat post mount.
I originaly had my GoPro Hero mounted on my engine guard. Found the seat post mount to work much better mounting it on front of my Harley.

Works but...
Thought this would be a good addition for the road bike. Like others have said,no matter how tight you get the screws, the camera still rotates around.

Product works well
This mount is an awesome addition to the amazing line-up of gopro accessories on the market. The angles you can get from this far exceeds the cost.

not for motorcycles
the product works well if you've got room on motorcycle handle bars to mount the camera in a place it can take pictures. i bought it and can't use it.

Functional but flawed

1. The screws are already rusty and I have to clean them with WD40 - I would not have expected that...
