Smatree Aluminum Tripod Mount Adapter Compatible for Gopro Hero 13/ 12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3+/3/2/1 HD/DJI OSMO Action 5 Pro/4/3 Camera, Blue

I really like how no frills and straight to the point this mount is. Not metal based but still very rigid and compact. Did a great job for mounting my GoPro!

Works as advertised. Build quality is good.

It's debatable whether there is much value between using an aluminum adapter when the part it connects to is plastic, but whenever I'm given the choice, I'll generally pick metal. There is one big benefit of aluminum over plastic, and that is the actual tripod mount portion - I've actually had one of the GoPro ones fail on me where it broke at the 1/4"-20 insert portion as opposed to the actual GoPro adapter portion. Once other advantage is that the threaded screw is actually integrated into the mount, and doesn't have a cap at the end so you don't need to worry about screw length or what happened to the nut. I've actually ordered a couple of different metal tripod mounts over the years, and in general, I found them to be a bit harder to work with than the plastic ones - primarily because in order to get it to really grip the GoPro tightly (so it doesn't tip up or down), you REALLY had to crank it down. With the plastic ones, the plastic easily bends when you tighten the screw/nut, but many of the metal ones tend to get a bit overzealous on the thickness of their two end parts. Thankfully this one was the first that I found that still had the perceived strength of metal, but also was thin enough at the ends to not require you to crank it until it's ready to strip. Not really much more that I think can be said about it - it hold the GoPro well, has held up the last couple months without any signs of wear, and wasn't much more expensive than the plastic ones, so all in all a good buy.

I wish that all three supports were equally thick to make the mount more robust. Other than that, a great product.

As I said in my title, these are not a need but something that we should get anyway. I have never had a GoPro mount break on me (I use mine for time-lapses and filming workouts); however, I can see how they could break. These won't break. It screws on soild and fit a evrity of diffrent stands. Also, it just looks better than the standard GoPro ones.

This product is more sturdy than the plastic version, so I expect it to last a long time.

We needed an accessory that allowed us to use the DJI Action 5 camera with our tripod. The DJI kit that we ordered didn't have any such connector, so I had to find one on Amazon. I decided to order this one because it was aluminum and looked like it might last a while. Turns out it is really well manufactured and works perfectly with the camera connector that comes with the camera kit. A lot of times because these things are not O.E.M. they don't either fit properly or work at all. This one does both ... it fits the connector and mounting screw perfectly. I can't recommend this product highly enough. It simply does what it's supposed to and is well made.

Way better than the cheap flimsy stuff that you buy with your standard GoPro it's solid aluminum better than plastic which breaks on you worth the buy
