Heavy Duty Mounts for the GoPro Hero Camera

We sell a lot of mounts for compact videocams.  We’re excited about RAM’s recent entry into the custom adapter space for these popular cameras.  Coupled with RAM’s heavy duty mounting components and lifetime warranty, this is an unbeatable solution for a heavy duty mount for almost anywhere.  We have seen some very cool videos that range from motorcycles to under an SUV using these mounts and they are amazingly steady thanks to RAM’s anti-vibration technology.  RAM’s mounts cost a few dollars more but in our opinion are well worth the premium.

At the heart of these mounts is the RAP-B-202U-GOP1 adapter. The RAP-B-202U-GOP1 consists of a 1″ diameter rubber ball, connected to a custom GoPro adapter. The adapter attaches directly to the under-side of the camera, replacing the factory mounting bracket. This adapter will use the threaded knob included with the GoPro camera.

With mounts ranging from car to motorcycle to ATV, they have you pretty well covered.

RAM Suction Cup Mounts

This is the second post in our series providing an overview of basic RAM Mounts.  Our last post profiled the variety of handlebar mounts.  Today we are going to cover suction cup mounts.  Suction cup mounts are the most popular for use in autos.  There are a few states that have laws forbidding placement of anything on the windshield of your car including California and Minnesota.  In those states, consider using a dash plate with many of these suction cup mounts.  All RAM components have a lifetime warranty.  This is a huge bonus with a suction cup mount.  Many of RAM’s suction mechanisms are patented and really do stand up to the te4st of time.

RAM has a variety of suction attachments ranging from casual to industrial use.  All can be coupled with a RAM arm, cradle adapter and custom cradle.

As always, we present some good pictures for examples from our blog post.  Keep in mind many of these can be customized with different length arms and adapters.
