Atomic Taco
GoPro Bike Mount
Took the reflector off my beater bike (you know it's a great bike when it comes preinstalled with reflectors) and stuck a 1/4" bolt through the hole for the reflector. The bolt screwed in to the GoPro tripod mount, and here we have a very stable mount for the GoPro.
The biggest drawback is that the camera follows my handlebar movements resulting in video that can move from side to side very rapidly. I think the better solution is to order the handlebar kit and mount the camera to the head tube. It will still sway some, but much less.
One of the shifter cables is along the side of the housing in the "unscrew" direction. If the camera wants to start unscrewing itself from the bolt, it'll hit the stiff cable so it can't go anywhere.
