Full details
The Insta360 Flexible Adhesive Mount (2-Pack) is designed for action camera users who need a secure and versatile way to attach their camera to various surfaces, including those that are curved. Its key benefit is the strong, heat and humidity resistant 3M adhesive combined with a flexible base for optimal placement. A caveat to consider is that for the GO 3 camera, it requires the additional Quick Release Mount.

FAQs
Can I reuse the Flexible Adhesive Mount?
While it might be possible to reapply the mount, the adhesive strength will likely be reduced. For best results and security, it is recommended to use a new mount for each critical application.
What is the difference between the native 3-prong connection and the 1/4" adapter?
The native 3-prong connection is standard for many action cameras. The 1/4" to 2-Prong Adapter allows you to connect accessories or cameras that use a standard tripod screw mount to the action camera mount system.
Is this mount suitable for mounting on a helmet?
Yes, the flexible design allows it to conform to many helmet shapes. Ensure the helmet surface is clean and smooth for optimal adhesion.
What types of surfaces can this mount attach to?
It can attach to most smooth, non-porous surfaces, including plastic, metal, painted surfaces, glass, and some composites. Avoid highly textured, porous, or flexible surfaces.
How long does the adhesive last?
The 3M adhesive is designed for strong, long-lasting hold under normal conditions. Its longevity depends on surface preparation, environmental factors, and the weight/vibration the mount endures.
Do I need anything else to use this mount with my GO 3 camera?
Yes, for the GO 3 camera, you must use this Flexible Adhesive Mount in conjunction with the Insta360 Quick Release Mount for a secure connection.
Troubleshooting
Mount does not feel secure after application.
Ensure the surface was perfectly clean and dry before application. Reapply pressure firmly for an extended period (up to 60 seconds). For best results, allow 24 hours before attaching the camera.
Camera is unstable after attaching.
Verify that the camera is securely locked into the 3-prong mount or adapter. Check that the adapter is correctly seated and tightened if applicable. Ensure the mount itself is firmly attached to the surface.
Mount detaches in extreme temperatures or humidity.
While designed for resistance, extreme conditions can test any adhesive. Ensure proper application technique and consider using additional securing methods for highly critical shots in such environments.
