Full details

The GoPro Locking 1/4-20 Mounting Buckle is for creators and adventurers who need a secure and stable camera mount during high-intensity activities. Its key benefit is preventing camera movement and slippage in vibrating environments, ensuring clear footage.

This mount offers a robust connection for tripods and other gear, featuring a cam lock with interlocking teeth for ultimate security and an adjustable 1/4-20 thread for versatile positioning.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the locking mechanism?

The primary advantage is the ultra-secure cam lock with interlocking teeth, which prevents camera slippage and movement during high-vibration activities, ensuring stable footage.

Can I use this mount with any camera?

Yes, provided your camera has a standard 1/4-20 tripod thread. You will also need a compatible GoPro mounting buckle base to attach the mount to.

What are 'invisible 360 pole shots'?

These are shots taken with a 360 camera mounted on an extension pole. The mount is designed to be stable and unobtrusive, allowing the pole to be 'stitched out' of the final footage, making it appear as if the camera is floating.

How do I clean the mount?

Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the locking mechanism and threads are kept free from dirt and sand for optimal performance.

Does this mount come with a GoPro mounting buckle base?

The product is the Locking 1/4-20 Mounting Buckle itself. It attaches to any existing standard GoPro mounting buckle base.

Is this mount suitable for static setups like tripods?

Yes, while designed for high-intensity activities, its stable 1/4-20 connection also makes it a reliable option for static setups on tripods where extra security is desired.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose after tightening the cam lock.

Ensure the interlocking teeth of the cam lock are properly engaged. Check that the mounting buckle base is securely attached. Verify there are no obstructions preventing a full lock.

1/4-20 screw does not thread properly.

Check that you are using an accessory with a standard 1/4-20 thread. Ensure the threads on both the mount and the accessory are clean and free of debris. Do not force the threading; realign if necessary.

Difficulty adjusting camera angle.

Loosen the 1/4-20 mount slightly to allow for adjustment, then re-tighten securely. Ensure the adjustment mechanism is not obstructed by other gear.
