How is this lens held onto the camera? I have GoPro Hero 3+ and it doesn't stay on. Slightest touch and it falls off. Worried about losing it.

Hi Jim, It is a pressure fit, a very small percentage of the GoPro Hero3+ housings are small, and we have a custom base piece for that (yours sounds like it). Shoot me an email and we will 2 day you the replacement today: jeff.overall@polarprofilters.com -Polar Pro

I never put it on the camera. A camera with glue on accessories? Plus the ergonomics of the camera are really poor, but shooting 20 M images at6400 ASA that produces nice prints makes up for it till something better comes out. The filter kit is glue on, so I didn't use it either--kid stuff... Case won't fit with grip on the camera. The view finder fell off in the middle of the shoot, but didn't break. It's great a professional back up camera, but I would not take this as my primary camera for a paying gig....

It's quite stable. When u put it on, it comes a part of the camera, like your lense does. Your lense will not drop easily, will it?

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

No, it most definitely does not fit the Hero3+. I put this on a gift exchange wish list not realizing that my new GoPro (also a gift) was the Hero 3+ and not Hero3, and this filter is too big and does not snap on :( Wish I'd seen this question and its answers before putting it on the wish list!

I have the Nikon grip now. Like it but the thing is not sturdy.. it moves. no way to tighten more. I am about to return it and wait.

I have the same problem with the right "clip" on mine. I gently spread the tines on the upper part of the "clip" each time I use it and it holds better. My primary camera is a Nikon D7000 with an 18-135mm lens. I carry my Nikon D80 with a 10-24mm lens in the second holster. I would like to keep my 70-300 lens on the D80, but lens creep makes that out of the question. The cameras do seem very heavy, but things stay together now. I believe part of the problem is the way the clip is attached at an angle which seems to put more stress on one side of the "clip." I plan to replace the "clips" with heavier spares I have if the problem continues to worsen. I really like the carrier and my only complaint is with the small "clips."

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

I attached mine to the loop that sits at the top of the backpack (imagine what you would grab when you pick the backpack up from the floor). it did the a few tries to find the best points of attachment and to make sure that its doesn't move when sliding the camera in/out. At this point I haven't made any adjustments in a year. Its a great item to have if you want quick and easy access to your camera.

You need to buy the camera mount separately. The mount is compatible with the "clip" of the mount that came with your camera. The mount itself is only compatible with the thinner GoPros like the Gopro3 (and Gopro2 I think.)

Their is a thread mount ring that fits onto the thread of the lens and the hood twists onto the mount ring. The mount ring stay's in place, while you twist the hood off flip it over and twist it back onto the mount ring. Just reverse the process to flip it back. Hope this been some help.

We used our Go-Pro's for snowmobiling and attached them to the helmets - they work great and we never had an issue with them loosening, falling off or anything! the picture clarity and stability of video or stills was perfect!

I have a gopro hero 3, and it works great! Not sure if it will work on 3+, but I think it will be fine.

This has worked fine for my Hero3 in the standard case through a snowboarding and river rafting season.It is specifically designed for the GoPro case not regular cameras.

This mount works for the remote provided by GoPro with the Hero 3+. I use it on my motorcycle. The only problem is that when the remote is installed in this mount you cannot plug it into a power source to recharge. You have to remove it from the mount to recharge it.

Yes it is. I have the same camera and the same lens. It's the lens I have on right now, and I use it quite a bit. I love it. I don't know whether it's stabilized or not, but I always try to brace my camera somehow, on something.

This works very well for me. I have 2 of them. I keep one screwed into my camera body and into the Tripod ring on my 100-400. This way I never have to remove them. I have been using them for about 2 years now and have never had them come loose. The biggest key is to get the lock washer in place correctly. It is a really tight fit. I had to use a needle nose pliers to do it. Hope this helps.
