Fotopro Flip Motion Mount for Digital Camera/Camcorder (Orange)

Pros: This mount is useful for attaching a camera or other device (e.g. speedlight, webcam) that sports a tripod screw to your bike, helmet, railing, car roof rack, etc. The metal base, folding legs, rubber padding are well constructed and when properly attached with a small camera the mount stays firmly in place even during rough vibration. I use it for mounting a camera to my mountain bike and recording videos while I ride trails.

Cons: The velcro straps are not reversed onto themselves as one would expect (i.e. when you loop the strap around an object and through the eyelet, the hook side of the velcro can only be attached against the hook side, not the loop side), which means you have to be a little creative when mounting to anything. I guess since the velcro is sewn to the mount in opposite ways, the intention is to attach each strip of velcro to the other one, but this is not always possible depending on what you are mounting to. The second drawback is the way the velcro is attached will eventually lead to the hooks being destroyed on one of the strips because they will always be in contact with the object you mount to. This is immediately evident when you loop the velcro through the eyelet; where the hooks touch the eyelet frame the hooks are crushed and destroyed. Third, if your camera has the battery access on the same side as the tripod mount, you'll have to take the camera off to change batteries.

Other: It's a cheap way to mount a device that has a tripod screw. The build quality is generally quite good except for the strange choice in the way the velcro is attached.

Pros: good product if one is interested in shooting videos on while riding, driving, or hates holding the camera in hand for long time. Fits most helmets of dirt racing, off road use. fits well on handle bars of half inch to one and the half inch bars. Just love the fitting of the camera screw which works well with the soft padding to avoid vibrations and damages to the camera. Holds good on heavy weight cameras...i use a Canon Ixus 950 which was very stable on my off road helmet.

Cons: a trial and error way to fix it on most funny design helmets. its easy to use design helps to mount it on bike handles.

Other: happy with the product.

Pros: This was a lot smaller than I had anticipated which is definitely a plus. The quality seems very sturdy and so I don't mind putting my camera on the mount on a bike and not have to fear for its safety.
I have yet to test out a recording but it seems to be able to attach on a lot of things because of the long Velcro straps.

Cons: None.

Other: It is not a bad investment if you need a mount of some kind and I trust these more than the suction mounts and they can fall off at any time. With this one, you tie the straps so as long as you do a good job, then it shouldn't fall off.

Pros: I really like this FotoPro Flip motion mount.
I can think of a thousand uses for it. It's great, i just posted a video of part of a long 6 mile bike ride i did to dialysis using this. Just a small section of the video, but it was great. Excellent build quality. Holds well.

Cons: The straps seem a little small, even though it's for smaller cams. I would worry about some digital cameras using this mount. Luckily my camera is a smal FlipHD mino cam.

Other: It's a great product. I know i'm going to get some great videos out of this. This is actually making me join a biking group, so i can film group rides in HD.

Pros: Sturdy and well built. No cons on the quality side.
It looks good and it can open several opportunities for picture taking, with different and creative perspectives.

Cons: None. But a carrying bag would be desirable.

Other: A very nice item. Cannot find it for this price in other shop.
Well done DX.

Pros: good stuff if one is interested in recording while riding, driving, Fits almost helmets.
fits well on flat handle bars of but some risebars are doesn' fit
Just love the fitting of the camera screw which works well with the soft padding to avoid vibrations and damages to the camera.
Holds good on heavy weight cameras...i use a Canon Ixus 950 which was very stable on my off road helmet.

Cons: sometimes the straps seem a little bit loose, even though it's tighten before riding. I would worry about some big digital cameras using this mount.

Other: pretty good

Pros: Good price. Rubber feet has 2 positions, closed or open. For really weird situations, you can even have one foot closed and the other open. They also help absorb minor bumps.

Cons: If you don't get the velcros really tight, the gadget mounted will sometimes slide around a bit. In other words, if you have a camera set pointing forward straight at 90 degrees; once you start bouncing a bit on your bike the mounting angle might change a little. You can fix this of course by tilting the camera, I have even done this while moving on the bike and checking the screen. You can see this on my videos, the camera starts pointing down and I just pull it back up with my hand.

Other: Simple to use, cheap and does what it's supposed to do. If I lose or break mine, I will probably buy the exact same thing again.

Pros: - it’s a super useful gadget for attaching any camera into objects while you’re travelling, hiking or biking
- when used with a bike its super useful, it fits easily, and doesn’t move with vibration (and I was afraid that it could happen)
- the construction is really good, you can rely on this object to attach your camera

Cons: - I haven’t use it with a reflex camera but I don’t think ill dare to do that, it seems like much of a heavy object for this.
- The price could be cheaper than it is

Other: - Even though its not as cheap as I think it could be its usefull.
- With a bike and a camera shot trigger its great, (for a stalker jajaja)

Pros: I mounted it on my motorcycle (big custom), and the camera was rock solid, I was able to make some nice videos with it. Good quality velcro straps.

Cons: The size may not fit most sportbikes, but should fit custom ones easily. May not hold heavier cameras (I used a compact digital and all was good). Beware of scratching your handlebar while tightening it, do it carefully. I had to use it with the "legs" closed to fit the center of my handlebar.
Don't expect super smooth pictures/video unless your camera has good image stabilization. It's still a motorbike, dammit! :)

Other: Really worth it. Road tested and approved.

Pros: a very nice product i own the canon 60D and used the canon 18-200 lens and it worked very well on flat cement roads. but if your planing to use this mount with an DSLR in rocky or unstable ground you might want to slip a small piece of rubber under the mount so it will not slip around.this is not a problem if you use a normal camera. Also it is very good when you forgot to bring a tripod and use it in place for a tripod for long exposure shots

Cons: sometimes will slip if you use a DSLR also the Velcro can be a tad more aggressive not saying its bad other then that nothing

Other: very good and anyone who wants a sturdy mount they can use while riding your bike its a must buy
