Product Information
Full details
The 9.Solutions GoPro Thumb Screws are designed for photographers, videographers, and action sports enthusiasts who require a more robust mounting solution than the standard plastic screws provided by GoPro. These screws offer significantly increased torque and long-term reliability for demanding mounting scenarios; however, users should be careful not to overtighten them, as the metal construction can exert more force than intended on plastic camera housings.

FAQs
Are these screws compatible with all GoPro models?
Yes, they are designed to fit the standard GoPro mounting interface used across almost all camera generations.
Will these rust if used in the ocean?
They are highly durable, but we recommend rinsing them with fresh water after saltwater use to maintain their longevity.
Can I use these for other action cameras?
If the action camera uses the standard GoPro-style three-prong mounting system, these screws will be compatible.
Why would I choose these over the original plastic screws?
These offer better grip for tightening and are significantly more resistant to cracking or stripping compared to plastic versions.
Does this pack include the nut?
No, these are the thumb screws only, intended to work with the integrated nut found on your existing GoPro mounts.
Troubleshooting
Screw feels difficult to turn
Check the internal threads of your GoPro housing or mount for debris or cross-threading damage.
Mount still wobbles after tightening
Ensure that the plastic mounting knuckles are fully seated within each other before inserting the screw.
Pros and Cons

- Reliable, long-term performance in outdoor conditions
- Standardized fitment for all GoPro ecosystems

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply align your GoPro accessory or housing with the mounting point and thread the 9.Solutions screw through the holes, tightening by hand until secure. These screws are compatible with all standard GoPro mounting knuckles and housings. Regarding care, while the materials are corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to rinse the screws with fresh water after exposure to saltwater environments to prevent salt buildup on the threads. Periodically check that the threads remain clear of debris to ensure smooth operation.
