Could this Jaw Clamp also be used to securely mount the Go Pro Hero+ 3 camera onto the Handle bar of a mountain bike?

It might hold as a temporary mount on the bike for smooth riding footage. If you're riding rough terrain, I might recommend the handlebar mount.

Not "Securely". You might as well buy the bike mount. This clamp might work OK on smooth roads, anything off road and it would get knocked off.

Don't know about a mountain bike. I use mine on a kayak, helicopter and motorcycle. It works great there.

Are you using a J-hook adapter? This should allow you to position the GoPro camera at whatever angle you want. Something like this (this link is not the 'GoPro' brand, but pictures the adapter for your reference): Smatree® Vertical Surface J-Hook Buckle Mount For GoPro Hero4 Hero3+ Hero3/2 Camera - Black

I don't see any problem with that. You have to cut a little hole in the end of the grip so it can mount inside the handlebar. My advise - Don't leave home without it.

It depends on what type of mounting capabilities your gopro has. you need two points of contact to secure to this handheld: 1) cold shoe mount, and 2) 3/8-16 or 1/4-20 sized threaded screw. Also the rig might not be great counterweight for the camera itself, since its so small. It's really invented for a DSLR, and frankly, it's kind of a hassle in the first place. But if its really important to you, then you can always give it a shot, and return it if it doesnt work out.

It depends on how strong you are really. It takes a good grip to keep my gopro from falling back during extreme activity. Also, if you're trying to attach a 2lb dslr this one might not be for you.

I looked through the manual for the GoPro Hero 3 and it doesn't say. If there is a 1/4" mounting nut embedded into the bottom of the camera, it should work. I haven't personally looked at the GoPro cameras, but I haven't seen a camera or camcorder that doesn't have a standard screw-in style mounting hole/ nut. Look at the bottom of the camera and if it has a mounting screw hole, it should work. Good luck! Sorry that I couldn't give you a definite answer.

Hi Salvatore, thanks for the question. I recommend getting a proper handlebar mount for the gopro. The gorilla pod cannot grab the handlebar or bike part securely enough.

It certainly will do it. I had no problems at all holding my gopro ina secure way.

No, this kit is designed for the Hero 3; although the mounts should be universal.

Unless you use some additional method of securing your expensive phone onto the grip, I would not trust the strength of the spring alone on a motorcycle at all. It's not meant for anything other than typical stable tripod mounting for photography. Besides, RAM products make purpose-built phone mounts that are very secure for motorcycles for similar price.

I use it for a gopro hero3, I wouldn't recommend anything much heavier than that.

Hello Janet. I would not trust it. Although it is made of metal and quite sturdy, made well. I don't thing it would exert enough clamping force to withstand the wind upon it at high speeds. It worked on the visor of my baseball cap I was wearing but I was very careful of how quickly I turned my head for fear of the weight of the camera pulling it off. I would definitely use a lanyard fixed to something stationary on the bike and connected to the camera should it pull free but there has to be a better product out there for the application you're attempting to use it.

I haven't used it on a bicycle, but it had zero issues with me jumping my 650cc dirt bike over logs, lava rock, etc. I even fell over on my bike several times. Very bumpy day of riding... The RAM worked flawlessly, but the waterproof housing on my GoPro broke! If you plan on really aggressive rides, I would recommend the RAM mount and one of the machined aluminum housings you can find for your GoPro. I will be. Have fun! :)

I do not believe gator grip like tools would work on this. Remember none of these devices are "fool-proof" they just act as a deterrent to entice thieves to go somewhere else. I commute on a bike that is less then $500 in NYC and try not to lock overnight on the streets.

yup... so long as you have something like the GoPro Tripod MountGoPro Tripod Mount

It's designed to fit GoPro mounts, but theoretically yes, you could just bolt it to stuff if you really want to go that route; not sure if it would be 1. Stable 2. Safe 3. Secure when directly mounting it like that, and you would run into geometric issues with the shape of the contour and how small this adapter actually is.

I am not familiar with the GoPro, but the gorilla tripod has a standard screw in mount that fits most all cameras. Once it is screwed in to your camera, the tripod can be attached/detached easily.
