GoPro mount for the Woosh Rio

[ldc]

Hi,

I got the official GoPro mount, however, it doesn't seem to fit the Rio's handlebars properly resulting in slanted footage, has anybody encountered and or overcome this. I want to avoid using a chest mount and prefer to stick a handlebar mount, please.

Thanks

You can tilt video (and zoom in slightly to remove black bits) in many video editing programs on PC or Mac. I usually use Adobe Premiere for work, but my very old version of Sony Vegas Pro has that function (now called Magix, after a buyout - check features before you try/buy their cheapest offering, in case it doen't have that function).

My cheapo action camera of crash-disposable price, came with zillions of bits and pieces, one of which is a tilting connector with a 1/8th inch thread. You'd have to hunt down something similar for your GoPro, if you didn't want to post process your video:








I don't like it - it only becomes sturdy with a lot of tightening. I'd only use that on my handlbar when the two supplied 45 min batteries ran out of juice. Some of my journeys are 4 hours or more. I can charge batteries in-camera on the handlebar (if it's not raining - the USB cable doesn't go through the waterproofed case) while recording, using the USB connector on my C18 display (Bafang BBS01b kit).

It's currently on my chin:







But I can turn myself into a Tellytubby by mounting it on top of my head:






It might be safer to mount it on the side, but that means the drilling a couple of small holes... I'll see if it's necessary. Video will most likely be slightly tilted when mounted on the side of my BMX helmet.

The Gopro mount is quite limited. Most cheaper non-Gopro cams come with handlebar mounts as standard that adjust in all directions. This one looks fairly reasonable and a lot more versatile - and half the cost of the Gopro mount too:

...you might be able to source just the top part cheaper elsewhere. Likely flimsy and rubbish.

I use a QuadLock mount to hold my mobile phone onto my Cube handlebar and am very pleased with it. They do many different types of adaptors including ones specifically fo the GoPro range. Example here; https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/gopro-adaptor-for-out-front-mount

That's interesting! Do you have a link to that? I'm sure that my OnePlus phone camera would be better than the (possibly - untested) cr*p action camera I've just bought, and overall, it'd be less weight and phaff.

Hi, I described it in an earlier post here https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/recommend-me-an-iphone-holder-for-middle-of-handlebars.37735/post-565322

The link to the actual product https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/bike-mount

Plus you need this to attach to your phone case https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/universal-adapter

Or they do dedicated cases for some phones (but not the Oneplus it seems) although I would not recommend those as the one I bought for my Huawei P20 Pro was extremely difficult to put on and take off (so I use a spare minimal case with the universal adapter attached instead).

Hope this helps!
