Clearly most of the GoPro product has not been designed by an engineer or other practical person. These mounts are somewhat limited in their flexibility. They all work with a very short arm, there is nothing that will mount onto a concave surface, the convex surface mounts are only for shallow curves and the limited arm length makes it impossible to fold the camera "film" plane 180 degrees from the mounting surface. What they don't tell you is that you also get a few of the same mounts when you buy the camera..... so if you think you are getting a variety of other mounting options, forget it!. Also the thumb screw tightening method on all of the pivots looks like it can be done by hand but in many cases you still need a screwdriver.... poor design of the pivot locking system. I guess it is like so many products these days... just not really well thought out..... and probably produced by people that spend more time in front of a computer screen than actually doing stuff. I would only recommend this pack of mounts to someone who has many vehicles or things to attach to and doesn't want to swap all the time..... and who has very basic mounting needs.
Just FYI I wanted to mount my camera on my Ducati SportClassic 1000S motorcycle and none of the mounts I have will allow me to mount onto a stable non-vibrating part of the bike. I will post a camera review once i have figured out how to mount it.Get more detail about GoPro Grab Bag of Mounts for HERO Cameras.
