Reddit mentions of GoPro Suction Cup Mount (GoPro Official Mount)

Yeah what he said!

I wrote an article about wing-mounting cameras because I get asked this question a lot.

The tl;dr of it though is that I'm partial to the GoPro Suction Cup Mount.

Anything that requires tools/bolts to mount a camera may require an STC, but this is a pretty gray area.

The official gopro suction cup is currently $20 on amazon which is an amazing deal for the quality I would highly suggest buying it.

• A suction cup mount is great to mount your GoPro inside and outside of your car. Just make sure to tether it when it's outside. I'd recommend the [GoPro suction cup] (http://amzn.com/B00F19Q7YI)
  
  
• There are a lot of great tripods out there. I have a Slik tripod that I have used with my GoPro and it's great. It's fairly compact and not too heavy. [Slik Tripod] (http://amzn.com/B000HZH6W8)
  
  
• Yeah the battery life isn't great on GoPros. I'm not sure which generation you're planning on buying but if you're going with a 3+, you can get the [Brunton All Day power pack] (http://amzn.com/B00LUKNM5E). If you're going with a Hero 4, the Brunton won't work with those so you could get a [GoPro Battery Bacpac] (http://amzn.com/B00NIYJFRO).
  
  
• You can plug a USB cable into your GoPro while recording. You won't be able to do that with the regular housing though so you'll need [the frame] (http://shop.gopro.com/mounts/the-frame/ANDFR-302.html#/start=1) or the [Skeleton Housing] (http://shop.gopro.com/accessories/skeleton-housing/AHSSK-301.html#/start=1)
  
  
• Always tether. ALWAYS!

Description:|Selling my mint condition GoPro Hero 5 Black with Waterproof Remo and a bunch of accessories. Like my other gear, this comes with full box, papers, and everything in mint condition. I used this for a trip a couple times the past year but no longer need it so would be happy to find it a good home. I've tried to price this fairly given the market and the condition of my stuff, but please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks and best of luck!

This is a good place to start. Here are a few more thoughts/suggestions:

• Check the contents of the Lexar card, mine came with a mini card reader that works well.
  
• The gopro battery will be the limiting factor when continuously recording, you should test the maximum recording time before your wedding. Use the same settings and try to recreate the temperature it will be running at during the wedding.
  
• I highly suggest a product like this to give you peace of mind when you are using your gopro in the water. There are several cheap options on amazon.
  
• One thing that nobody has mentioned in this thread yet is sound. If you want the dialogue from your ceremony to come through the gopro will have to be very close. If there is wind it will be even more difficult to hear you. You'll get the best results if the case is not on.
  
• If any of your guests own gopros I'm sure they will be bringing them. See if they will let you borrow them for the wedding and pull the footage off of them afterwards. This way you can have multiple angles and make a really nice video later on. If he's up to it you can have the officiant wear a chest mounted gopro which will give a nice up close perspective and probably capture the best sound. You can get creative with any other angles.
  
• This flexible tripod is one of my favorite accessories. It's so versatile and can be mounted to just about anything. There are cheaper alternatives on amazon, I chose this one because it has a level (it was also $20 at the time I bought it).
  
• The Suction Cup is also a very useful tool for mounting the gopro. I suggest getting the gopro brand because it is sturdy and the suction cup is very strong.
  
• I would leave most of the settings alone. There is a ton of information on this subject and it can be overwhelming. My two cents are to use 2.7K resolution wide for most everything. If you want slow motion use 1080p at 60 FPS.
  
• One of the biggest problems with most people's videos are that they are shakey as hell. Try to keep the camera steady if possible. If you want to expand your budget a bit you can purchase a gimbal which will give you very very good results. Understandably those are out of most peoples' budgets and there are other techniques you can use to keep the camera steady by using the pole that will give decent results.
  
• If your gopro is in a cool/cold hotel room and you take it outside into the hot/humid air fog will condense on the lens. Once the lens warms up the fog will go away.
  
• Make sure you play with your gopro before hand so that you get a good feel for it and you can get any questions out of the way a head of time.
  
  Feel free to ask any questions you might still have. Also, congratulations and good luck!

I use this one and it's pretty damn secure. I leave my gopro on it running 60+ even in rough water and it never moves.

The genuine GoPro suction mount it says it’s rated for 150+mph so it should be safe on the 172 unless you go past VNE!

Can confirm. Gave in and bought the official GoPro suction mount. Works awesome in the PA28.

Man I did the same thing! I went from 32+1's to 33+2's and it's been a complete game changer. Enjoy.

As for camera, here's what I got because it had the best battery life of everything I saw: Campark + this housing

Just note that it doesn't come with a MicroSD card so get that as well or in advance of it coming.

I've seen this gets posted frequently. Here's a high level overview with some specific parts.

You need at least one camera (duh) and a way to get audio. The camera can be gopro or knock off, but you need a sturdy mount like this or this or this.

The easiest way to synch audio is to connect your camera straight in to the audio panel, with a cable like this or doing the "stuff the mic in your ear" trick that was mentioned already.

You could also get a billet mount like this to get some awesome external views and/or a wing strut clamp like this but your battery may not last as long as your flight!

Then head on over to your favorite video software and go at it!

Good luck and share your videos w/ us when you're done awesomeing it up!

I believe he uses some sort of suction mount and sticks it right on the glass towards the top.

Edit: Something like this

What about the GoPro suction mount?
