GoPro Jaws: Flex Clamp (All GoPro Cameras) - Official GoPro Mount

A year ago, I bought the SameTop brand of this accessory mount, and that was a mistake. It lasted only a couple of uses, until the strength of the spring, broke the handle in half, and broke one side of the jaw hinge! I wrote a review for it, and even included a picture showing the zip-tie that I was using, to keep the handle together for a little longer, until I could get a replacement.A year later, and now I have bought the official GoPro brand of this Flex Jaw, just how did it perform? Well, I really put it to the test! I was doing a lawn maintenance routine on my lawn. I wanted to shoot a really cool action video of the dethatcher attachment, dethatching my lawn. So I clamped this jaw, to the lowest point of my tractor, where the cutting deck would have mounted to the tractor, just underneath the engine.I used the adjustment strap, to secure it to a very narrow point, and that spring is so strong, that it was able to hold it there, against gravity mind you! It literally lasted the entire dethatching project, and it gave me super cool footage of the dethatching tines in action, yanking out the dead thatch and moss. The flex jaw never broke on me, and it did a great job!Differences between the two you might ask, other then quality? Well, aside from the official GoPro version being of a higher build quality, the GoPro version has a rubber grip on the handle, the Sametop is just smooth plastic. Also the GoPro version has a shorter goose neck on it, where as the Sametop is about an inch longer. They both have the same strength in the spring though.CONCLUSION: Sometimes it does pay to buy cheap, but not in this case. This is one of those times, where you truly do get what you pay for. If you want the quality version of this accessory mount, then you must buy the official GoPro brand. 5 out of 5 stars!

I just baught this item; still being tested for durability, but funtionality is outstanding. I've been using the GoPro series for the last couple of years. I love the XShot 2.0 for what it does (check it out for your GoPro accessories). Specific to the Jaws item here, I use it strictly for BIKING (road biking). I have a permenant item already attached, but I can't get really good shots regarding (only straight away). I always thought if GoPro came out with something that allows MOBILITY (moving the camera angle, WITHOUT stopping in motion), well, here it is!! I tested the item on angle shots, shots on the move while in motion, rear shots (cars coming up behind you), front views, and various other views. I biked for a couple of hours and wanted to see the various angle views that I can capture, this item does it well !!It's built solid, durable, glamps on various functional ways. Holds the firm position as you angle the arm. My only concern is, will it last (WILL THE POSITION HOLD AS YOU MOVE THE ARM, OR WILL IT START TO SLACK????? I am an avid long distance road rider, I will put this item to the test !!! I normally do day rides over a 100 miles in distance, Century rider, and multi day rider, this item will be test on the bike :) I have 4 batteries, and am able to use the GoPro for safety AND documenting my adventures with family and myself on the road.I have not used it yet for any other items, otherthan on the ROAD BIKE. Buy the item, you will not regret it for your GoPro accessories (this was the missing link with me), I feel like my accessories are now complete. (it does vibrate a bit though, can't be prevented, the stem is built firm.)

I planned to use this in an active sports area where the GoPro could be bumped and hit with the ball.It's taken abuse but held the original shot even after small contact.Only time will tell how long that will continue. But for now, definitely worth the money.The clamp range can grab ahold of the skinny side of a 2x4. If that is relevant to you.

This is a very useful mount for the GoPro, something that has let me get some neat angles, and makes the camera itself more useful overall. It has a nice strong clamp that can hold thin things (like the edge of a swing, when I used it to take a GoPro video of my daughter swinging on a swing in the playground) or thicker things like chains, or metal bars and posts in the bike. It has a gooseneck extension that is stiff but somewhat flexible and allows you some control over the camera position and angle.So, why only 4 stars instead of 5? Especially for such a premium-priced item, I wish the gooseneck were longer, or better yet I wish it came with 2 goosenecks that you could snap together for when you need something longer than what's included. Even though they each only move the camera a few inches, if there were more than one they could flexibly place the camera where you want, so then it could shoot over the clamp without the clamp even coming into the shot, no matter what angle the clamp were mounted from.

I try not to purchase non-OEM products in order to to just save a few dollars, Spend the money you will be glad you did. The Jaws hold firm, and what I like most is that the mount can be used in a variety of ways.I will be using the mount to attach a Gopro to a truss light rail in a temporary manner. The gooseneck attachment allows me to quickly swivel the gopro to different sides of my dj gigs and wedding events. as I need in a 360 manner. It also allows me to extend the gopro to , creat different angled point of views. When I am moving or done for the night, I can simply unclip the jaws or detach the gooseneck with the quick clip insert.I am thinking of purchasing the additional gooseneck that comes with the Jaws Clamp Mount. Attached this second Gooseneck to the Jaws mount gooseneck via daisychain allows me to further extend the camera in a variety of directions. Will see ln the future.FYI the goose neck clamp has no instructions, took a few minutes to figure how to open the clamp. There is a strap, that comes with lt. l havent figured out if its for packaging only or there is uses for lt, no youtube review mentions lt.
