Gopro
 
This weekend will be the first time trying the GoPro on the boat so I can get some videos for our long crappy winters. Anyway, do you guys use the suction cup mount? I can use the rails but it would be easier to change views with suction mount. What are you guys doing?

I used the suction cup mount and put the camera right above the drain plug. It was still there when I got home. I also mounted it on the side. It got splashed and twisted but stayed. It's a great mount but still scary doing it in those places.

Good info. I have heard they're pretty stout but it seems scary!

We had a suction cup on the canopy in Cocca Beach it tore a 3" x 18" section of gel coat off.

Just take me with you and I will hold it.

We just had our first outing using a GoPro. Used the suction cup mount on the bow, no issue at all and some really nice video.

Got the mount, and then proceeded to spend a bunch of unnecessary money at Best Buy! Gets me every time!
