and then gopro makes a screw on mount for the bottom of the camera

Mudder® Multi-Function 9CM Suction Cup Mount Car Vehicle Vacuum Bas... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M1AWQ86/..._Fb2Bub1ZR7VRZ this one looks like plastic but comes with the GoPro mount

I have the GoPro brand suction cup, and I do not like it because the hardware attached to the suction cup rattles and distorts the sound, but it does stick pretty darn good, not so good on a waxed surface.

I use the bicycle seat mount one from GoPro, this one can mount to the railings, I mount this on top of my radar arch on the mast light, its easy to swivel 360 degrees in any direction..

If I do mount the GoPro where its bound to fall in the water then I always use a tether.

Do any of you Go Pro guys know of any place I can send one to be repaired? I have a Hero3 Black that has the charging port knocked clear inside the camera from a drone crash. The camera still works, you just can't charge it. I called Go Pro and they do not offer any type of repair service.

I would maybe call a camera shop in your area and see it they have the ability to fix it for you. Here is a link to a site that shows you how to take one apart if you are willing to give it a try on your own. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/GoPr...Teardown/12457

Great info guys thanks!

It came in the mail on saturday, thanks Diamond Performance. Need to pick up a SD card today...

I bought the Black Edition last spring and used it all summer - got some killer footage! The GoPro suction cup does rattle a little bit, but I don't think it's distracting. If you tighten it up enough, you can pretty much put it anywhere (with a backup rope attached to it, just in case). I've put it on the bow, the swim platform, all over the cockpit, etc.

I have the 64gb memory card, but no extra battery. As long as you don't leave the wifi on and pay attention to the way you're using it, you can get by.

Here's the best of my GoPro footage from this year. Helps a Michigan guy like me get through the winter!
