GoPro Mountable Magnetic Swivel Clip Mount Hero5, Black

I saw some reviews here about the weak magnet, and would like to offer a different perspective. I was able to mount my volta + gopro 11 magnetically on a lamppost by positioning the magnetic portion of the clip towards the top. The magnet had weaker attraction with alloyed metals.. but i think that applies to any magnet too. Clip was very strong. I clipped it to my car door handle and drove slowly for some cool footage (20kph)

The magnet could use a little more strength but works well for stationary areas. However I use the Clip in allot of areas, it works well on a backpack strap and a shelf I use it on the dash of my car for vlogging, I am buying a couple more for my other GoPros as Well

Pros: Small, lightweight design; easy for travel shots Swivel mount allows for wide range of positioning Rubber grip "teeth" allow for a sturdy grip on thicker surfaces (like a shelf) Can securely grip up to 3/4" thickness Strong magnet supports weight even with camera mounted horizontally Cons: Requires a lot of pressure to open up wide enough to fit on thicker surfaces Swivel mount can be difficult to adjust (and nearly impossible to line up shots live without unclipping) Overall Impression: This is a good, simple camera mount. I feel like it can be difficult to get a good enough grip on it to apply the pressure necessary to mount it to furniture, as it says in the description. The fact that I have to use both hands to mount it to my shelf is what prevents me from giving it 5 stars; I just need more leverage.

Has a lot of uses and camera angle range. It's a decent mount for instances that don't need a whole lot of rigidity, but the clip and magnet both aren't as strong as I'd like them to be. It tends to shift around a lot and sometimes fall if placed on anything that'll be moving around. I'd only recommend as a stationary mount or for more tame activities like hiking, boating, or maybe skiing, etc.. I'd suggest using a different mounting option if you need something solid

Just requested a return of this as the magnet is to weak to even hold the 10 on the side of our car. Good clip but I got it for the magnet will continue using the suction cup for the side of the car. I have another clip I'll continue to use for such purposes. I gave it a middle of the road 3 stars as the clip is good but I was really wanting the ease of the magnet.

everything else except the magnet is perfect. the grip of the teeth, the tight hold of the spring, it is even very ergonomic and easy to use single-handedly. where it falls short, excruciatingly short, is the magnetic base. there is only one magnet right below the teeth plate of the base. the magnet does not cover the entire base plate and is also very weak, so weak that is cannot effectively handle the weight of a barebone Hero9 when magnetically attached to a solid, non-moving surface. In fact, I once stuck it to the fridge door with a gopro mounted on it and the clip fell after a few regular opening and closing of the door

I needed this for my foodtruck to film myself and my food but it dies less than 20 mins of recording time. And the little shot that I got runs at x2 speed for some reason. Im super salty for what i paid for.

Well, magnet barely hold the weight of the camera..Camera falls after a light touch/wind. If you put the magnet and camera at certain angle it doesn't hold it at all. Wondering where all these 4/5 ratings are coming from. Clip is ok, but magnet is not functional at all...

This is nothing more than an expensive clip, the magnet is rubbish, it won't hold the camera on an angle beyond 45' without falling off. And saying it can be used as a kick stand is only true if you are using to point up otherwise it overbalances, you can not point this forwards or down, if you turn it round the clip is in shot and point forwards it falls over.

Just had to pay out hundreds of pounds for a brand new GoPro after losing it while skiing using it in the exact same way as shown in pictures above! Clipped to back pack strap while skiing. When got to bottom of run camera and clip not there. This is not fit for it's suggested purpose.
