Anyone Used Sugru For Handlebar Mount?

[ShiftHer]

Thought occurred to me yesterday of using Sugru to mount the GoPro mount directly on my handlebar, so it could be much, much lower versus the RAM u-bolt arm mount that I have now which sticks up kind of high. Has anyone ever done this? How is shakiness? Have you ever taken it off? Residue on bars?

I imagine the shakes would be the same as if on a bracket. I personally think bike mounted cameras are about the only ones where image stabilisation is useful

I believe there are GoPro type handle bar mounts available, you don't have to use the RAM one. If you are going the Sugru way probably best to have a tether, just in case.

I have my camera stuck with sugru to my helmet. So far it is holding up lovely.

I have my GoPro mount Sugru-ed to my helmet, as well. Super sturdy. I don't have much space on my handlebars and would prefer the camera to be even lower than is allowed with the short socket arm, so having used it on my helmet is what made think of maybe trying it on the bars. Good thoughts on incorporating a tether!

Well I know it's super strong for helmet mounting. My buddy had his helmet hit by a truck ( he wasn't wearing it at the time ) and the sugru mount didn't budge even though it ended up jammed into the ground. So I'd say that stuff would be good for just about anything.

You will always get some vibration with a bar mount regardless so I don't see it being an issue at all.
