GoPro 3-Way

Very small and handy.

This is perfect to fit my needs. Extends nice and the adjustable head is awesome for getting you that perfect shot. Plus it folds up nicely and will fit most bags.

I owned the original 3 way and took it with me everywhere. It ended up being the ONLY mount I'd bring. It really is all you need and the new 3 way has a much stronger tripod base, and swivel top for when terrain is uneven, which, should be always for a GoPro user. This thing is incredible and I never found a third party copy cat that could hold a candle to it.

I bought because I wanted to use my Peak Design case/mount with it as an iPhone tripod. . . . its 'ok' but just not stable enough and its easy for it to shake when iPhone is mounted. Its almost like the top arm that connects to the swivel ball needs to be much more rigid. Again, its 'ok' but if there's even a little bit of wind, forget about this keeping the iPhone still.

The plastic eyelet at the top to tighten the ball swivel broke almost immediately, I didn't even get a chance to use it. GoPro is replacing it for free but I don't expect the new one to be much better. It's definitely a weak point in the design, worst case you'll lose your camera off the mount!

While in theory its a great design, the build quality is poor and inconsistent. On my first iteratuion of this tripod, one of the screws that loosens and tights the articulating arm, locked up and could never be undone again. On my second and most recent purchase, the same screw just turns in endless circles and doesn't tighten at all. Plus the rubber part that locks in the mount does not fit, and the ball joint barely locks into place - the slightest bump and it wobbles around. Completely useless right out of the packaging.

I was very excited to upgrade from my previous 3 way that I used extensively for years but finally started wearing off. I used the 2.0 a couple of times only and the base where the ball is held already craked!! Overall is an ok-ish mount but I wish I could buy the old one.. PROS: the rotary base gives full movement. no need to unscrew the camera to use another mount. a study hand strap. CONS: already broke!!!!! the arms knots are quite hard to adjust. the body feels very light but also very delicate, I would take it for any extreme sport. The original 3-way could detach the tripod base for a ‘shorty' kind of mount - this one doesn't
