Which cams fit the GoPro mount and what is a good deal..?

Can anyone tell me what cams are good, its seems the GoPro cam is a little pricey, I would like to make use of the cam holder that the 2016 comes with so I would like to get a cam that fits.

 

I'm not sure other cameras fit the same mount. I think it's a proprietary setup. But... With a little enginuity you could buy a gopro mount parts bag and make almost anything work there. good luck.

 

I picked up a GoPro Session for pretty cheap to live in my truck (link below).

I went this route....
Cost me $30 total but now I can use anything in the market. I used my Phone to record a time-lapse on my recent trip.

Can't believe how many times you let the silver SUV pass you!

 

Yeah... you're going like hell and getting passed like crazy....!!

Also looks like you are one of those "center lane hogs"....hehe

Great quality video though.

 

I was loaded with 500 lbs of merchandise and 4 passengers(5 total). So it was in my best interest to drive safe. Wouldn't want total a new truck and/or injure my family.

I wasn't driving slow. 70-80 mph. I don't know the road. They probably do. Those trailers go at least 70 mph. It's ridiculous since it is not a straight road. To add flare, I only had 4000 miles on the truck so I barely am getting used to the throttle and handling.

My daily commute is with a 98' 4Runner 4banger 130 miles every day. And I do 80-90 with that thing. But, I know the road, car, and I ride alone with no weight.

 

Where is the gopro mount on the 2016? I test drove one and the sales guy made a big deal out of the gopro mount, but then I bought a 2015 and forgot where they put the mount. Where is it?

 

The mount is just to the right of the rear view mirror. I have the basic GoPro Hero that costs about 150. It actually does a fantastic job of beginner camera work and it a lot of fun to fiddle with. You can find the newer models on Craigslist if you're a bit more advanced in the world of photography. I am getting the Hero 4 silver due to the addition of an LCD screen that is built in and the remote capabilities. Its a bit more pricey, though.

 

Yeah I actually have a few GoPro cameras. Now I just need to mount it up in the window. I could not remember where it was though

 

The 2015 doesn't have a GoPro mount.

 

My GoPro housing makes the camera mount upside down. Therefore I have to upright all my videos. Anyone else have this issue? Or is there a setting on the camera I'm missing?

 

There is a setting you are missing. I don't recall exactly where in the menu but there is a setting to choose which side of the camera is up.

 

As long as I know there's something I can look for, this helps bunches! Thank you!

 

Yeah, I know. However, since I have a few gopro cameras, I want too mount one in the window like they do on the 2016. Over the years I have amassed a ton of accessories and mounts so now I am going to use them in my mafawkin truck!
