How to shock proof a GoPro mount on your bike fork
I wanted a GoPro mount robust enough to resist the shocks to be mounted in the fork of my mountain bike.
Kit
- GoPro Tripod mount
- 1 single-use pack of Sugru
- L shaped metal bracket
- Clamp
- GoPro to mount on
- Cling film
Step 1
I put some cling film around the fork to avoid Sugru from sticking to it.
Step 2
Make two small balls with Sugru and put it into the L shaped metal bracket then put it in the fork and hold it in that position during 12-24 hours.
I put the plastic because I only wanted the Sugru to have the round shape of the fork but I didn't want to stick it to it so I can move the device to other round part of my bike.
Step 3
Put some Sugru in the base of the GoPro tripod mount to have more grip and let it set for 12-24 hours.
Step 4
Once the Sugru has set, hold it with your hand in the correct position and use the clamp to secure it firmly.
Step 5
I used some old inner tube to cover it and avoid scratching the fork.
Step 6
I used a 1/4"-20 UNC screw to hold the tripod mount in place.
Step 7
The end result!
