Reddit mentions of Arkon GoPro HERO Mount Connection to 1/4 inch 20 Camera Mount Adapter

1 word: adapter

Use a selfie stick for handheld shots, keep it straight and not tilted so that you don't see the pole.

Use a tripod (I use a light stand instead as it's more convenient)

If you are using Gopro accessories I find this attachment handy.

Bring an external battery, just as a backup for any intensive recording. (For your phone or 360 camera)

Premiere Pro has a "This video is VR" option at exporting stage, making it easier to inject metadata. Also the offset effect is very handy.

Ah yes, that gold screw thingy is a standard tripod mount, I'm sure there will be something to fit it, perhaps something like this. The plastic bit with the hole in it is the GoPro format, so presumably you'd just be able to plop your included bracket into that, assuming they are the same size screw. I searched "GoPro tripod adapter" to find that, btw, just in case you want to look for others to make sure you get the right one.

e: the gopro mounting can be a tiiiny bit expensive, but they're really good and there are tons of adapters for lots of cameras if you ever want to switch to a different make or model, so generally a good idea.

Careful though that tripod can barely support a GoPro let alone a whole DSLR

I'm using this mount adapter for the 1/4-20 screw: dirft gopro adapter I also have this one since it was cheaper: 1/4-20 screw adapter and then I use this: gopro grab bag of mounts.

And I also use Sony's included adhesive mounts with this angle mount adapter to compensate for the helmet curvature and when I'm hunched over while riding.

You should be able to do something like combine a normal camera chest harness with a phone mount like one of these. If your chest harness is for GoPros (like most are), then you'll also need something like one of these.

If you want to use your phone, you can order this screw in and use something like this for your phone

It's a bit top heavy but you get used to it. The mounting on a pole works perfectly as long as whatever pole you use is a heavier duty pole and not just some "selfie stick" that looks like a car antenna. If using a cheaper pole, the weight of the GoPro and the WG will make the pole bend OR just don't extend the pole and use the WG just like the G4 then you won't have any issues with the pole bending.

As far as mounting on a helmet, snowboard, or dog harness; the WG has an adapter that allows you to mount it to any GoPro standard mount. Just make sure to tighten up the thumb screw and you'll be good to go. I recommend using an alluminum thumb screw so you can tighten it up with a wrench without it breaking. Another option is to purchase a GoPro mount to tripod converter and use it that way.

you can also just use normal sticky gopro mounts, plus this which is the same standard thread as the oculus sensors. works great for me

Something like this for phone: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2-Sides-Adjustable-U-style-Mobile_60095147404.html

just get that on aliexpress almost for free ... I have some holders and mounts from there and it works pretty much as original ...

Thank you for all of the great advice!!

Good idea with the accessory packs. I'm not finding one that includes a GoPro to SAC converter, not that i couldn't buy one separately.

I would need something like this, correct?
