Product Reviews

Design Fail

This mount does not work as advertised at all.The receiving end of the mount has a threaded leg to receive the GoPro bolt. However, this will never provide enough grip to actually hold your GoPro in place. The original GoPro Tripod Mount design (and all other mounts) use a receiver hex bolt to tighten the connection, this product does not provide a recess position for the hex nut. Additionally adding a hex nut will not work since the bolt will have already passed through the threaded leg… Very poor design. Do not recommend at all! Stay clear of this product and just purchase the official GoPro Tripod Mount (which is a lower price anyway!)

Metal Tripod Mount is wrong design

The manufacturer points out that it is made of aluminum and will withstand “Wear and Tear” better than a plastic mount. This is true. The problem is that the aluminum is too stiff to bend and hold the GoPro camera mount securely. How much use will it get if you can’t tighten the bolt and clamp enough to hold the camera mount tightly? Plastic works and this metal one doesn’t work. Too bad I didn’t read the negative reviews before I bought the Fotodiox GT. I will order the GoPro tripod mount like I should have in the first place.

doesnt work

since this piece is metal it wont tighten to the housing so the go pro will never stay upright. strongly disapprove waste of money

Too smooth (not the good kind of smooth)

The powder coated finish is so smooth, it’s impossible to lock the camera’s position. Also, the bottom of the mount is smooth as well. Most tripods have a rubber pad, so this isn’t horrible, but it would have been nice if the bottom had been knurled before powder coating. I’d recommend looking for a similarly-priced mount with a rougher surface instead.

loose as a goose

The piece will not tighten to hold GoPro upright. Do not recommend. Better to spend the extra money on the GoPro brand.

Cannot tighten it enough

As others have said, you cannot tighten this enough. I got it really tight one time, took it in the water and it still moved. I could barely get it off without pliers, now it sits in the junk drawer.

Great for use with GorillaPod-like Tripods

This tripod adapter works great when combined with GorillaPod-like tripods. It allows you to easily and temporarily attach your GoPro to nearly anything.The quality of the adapter seems standard. I don’t have any concerns of it breaking and it fit perfectly. It doesn’t stand out, but doesn’t disappoint.Overall, I’d say this is a must-have for any GoPro owner.

Works fine

What else to say but it fits and works fine. The materials are what is to be expected and no problems so far.

Does not work

Received this as a gift for my GoPro Black 3+ but upon hooking it up, the camera was not secured at all and tilted forwards and backwards easily.
