GoPro Camera Mount, Upright and Out Front
Today (Sunday) I took as a rest day from the heat and to allow my legs some recovery time after biking 11 days in a row. While not outside I did not let time go to waste.
On my Canyon Endurace the GoPro mount has been in several places. The handlebars are an aero shape which is not conducive to the GoPro handlebar mount. In the past I used a helmet mount but the extra weight of the GoPro was not good especially if I added the mic adapter. Next I tried an adhesive mount on the top of the stem which worked for few rides until the vibration cracked the plastic mount. Another location was below my Wahoo Bolt computer. This location required the GoPro to be upside down (not a problem when I learned how to lock the camera in that position) and entailed a long mic cable plus hearing the camera beeps was hard in the noise.
Previously I tried to use a dual GoPro mount by moving the mounts around but the Bolt computer was too close. Then yesterday I tried using the dual mount again but in a different position. This moves the GoPro to an upright position like I use on the Lynskey R300, puts the camera in front of the Bolt computer, moves it closer to me for the mic cable, and I should hear the beeps better. Also I can see the LCD screen on the back of the camera. The mount can also turn a few degrees to the right or left. I think this position will be far enough out front to remove the brake levers from view. Note the three GoPro screws to hold everything in place.

My first test bike ride will be Tuesday after I ride the Lynskey R300 on Monday.
