Go Pro sticky mounts?

[george formby]

Anybody know where the best deal is for more self adhesive mounts? Best I can find is $45 for 5 which is a tad steep.:yes:

[tigertim20]

buy them directly from the gopro website, about $20US for 5 I think. plus whatever postage is, but surely that wont be much.

Thats probably the cheapest place you get them I imagine

LOL!

Yeah I bought a gopro back from the states for a mate, and i got a whole heap of extra flat and curved mounts, as well as extra brackets and bits and pieces at the same time.

Ithink I heard that you could buy the sticky pads seperately, i.e. without the plastic attachment. seeing as they can be removed fromthe bike with a little bit of heat, it makes sense, it might be possible to just get the double sided sticky pads alot cheaper, worth a look!

That's a thought, a roll of the sticky stuff. Hmmmm, google, I'm coming to get you.

[tigertim20]

here you go, the adhesive double sided tape on the mounts is called 3M VHB 4991.
you can by it by the roll, and recycle the plastic mounts.

not sure where sells it, but I imagine any decent 3M stockist such as warehouse stationary etc should be able to order in a few rolls for you.

I have sent 3M an e-mail. Thank you. Good idea. A few rolls might be a bit excessive though..

Chop it up into smaller prices and sell it on trademe, for a huge markup, you'll be able to retire in a year...

... genius I am :drinkup:

[tigertim20]

apart from retirement, probably not a silly idea, as it looks to come in 3 metre rolls. im sure there are others out there who would like to recycle their mounts and try new angles

Um, 33 mtr rolls, $191 + GST. :gob:

[tigertim20]

the fuck? surely they come in shorter lengths?

[george formby]

It would seem not and only 2 rolls in stock. Fook it. Velcro...

[tigertim20]

is there a strength rating for the stuff? perhaps there is another double sided tape product out there that is suitable?

Buy a 3m roll of super adhesive 3m tape, and cut to size/shape.
Use a hair dryer to get the sticky stuff off.
Sorted forever.

Fuck loads if you buy a cam,
otherwise $12 - $20

we have since moved on somewhat from buying mounts, and onto just buying double sided tape:woohoo:

IF your a game cunt,
you could tie off the GoPro and put down some 3m dual lock, then you can on and off it.. dunno if it would hold though

[Bender]

I've used a 3M product called Exterior mounting tape. Double sided, foam centre, sticks like the proverbial to a blanket. Available from Glue Guru stores - can't remember how much I paid because I bought it yonks ago but just over 20 bucks I think. I'm certain that's what GoPro use on the mounts.

gopro use the 3M VHB 4991 adhesive, its listed inthe specs, but anything with a similar strength should be sweet

That's who quoted me for the vhb 4991.

All said & done I'm going to try & source bags of mounts from the US. Friends of friends on holiday kind of thing.

Trying to get the existing mounts off is a nightmare & trying to get the tape off the mounts themselves is even worse.

Plan B is a multi purpose RAM mount..
