Phone and Gopro mounts

[chris wilkins]

Just wondering what people are doing with regards to mounting a phone or satnav and Gopro? There isn't much room on the bars and I don't really want to sticky pad the Gopro to the body work. So if you have alternative methods a photo would be great 👍

RAM mount clamp to center of bar with a 4" swivel arm, works great and nothing else would likely be more secure. I go back and forth between my phone being mounted or my Garmin Zumo 390, both have the appropriate cradle mount which attaches in seconds on the RAM mount.

I use one of the mirror mount RAM balls with a short extension.  Works good for my Zumo XT.

IMO my GoPro mount worked out very nicely.  3D printed a RAM mont for it - a ball with a bolt thru it at the bottom and then a ball on the top with a GoPro mount.  Added a short GoPro piece to get a bit more height so it peeks out under the windscreen on the left side.  I printed a 45mm RAM clamp to connect the two balls.  So far it has worked very nicely.  Same thing could be done with RAM parts at a greater expense and not be cool blue.  Printed in PETG as PLA can't withstand the temperatures. The bottom ball is mounted to a bracket where the fairing fastens with a push pin.  I popped the pin out and replaced with a bolt.

Garmin Zumo XT is mounted with the RAM mounts as well.  I used a RAM ball that has a bolt thru it which replaces one of the handlebar mounting bolts.  Bought it at Cycle Gear.  Using the handlebar mounting bolt gives me 4 options, left or right side and forward or back.  That coupled with the rest of the RAM mounting gives me a good bit of flexibility with position.  I have a couple of longer RAM connectors which can give me even more flexibility in positioning the Zumo.  Only have a couple of thousand miles with the handlebar mount but it has worked very nicely.  Very smooth compared to previous bike. As you can tell from the photo I am still running with the Zumo plugged into the outlet.

No clue on the GoPro. A RAM-B-367U will replace one of your handlebar clamp bolts and put a ball right on top of the clamp (bolt goes down through it).

hope this helps
