GoPro HD Suction Cup Fail

This is what happens when you attach the GoPro Hero suction cup mount to a surface that isn't perfectly smooth. Kerrang!

The camera survived despite hitting the ground at 65mph and then getting knocked around some more. The silicone suction cup got scraped up to the point where it won't stick anymore, but the waterproof camera housing was in good shape.

the suction cup probably didn't fail you probably just failed at installing it

@TheDumbGrunt You probably failed to read the text at the end of the video.

Use a lanyard as a tether so if it falls off it just hangs. Cheers!

Love seeing these things take a battering and never miss a beat!

allways tie a lanyard to it never trust the suction cup . i even drilled and counter sunk holes in the adhesive mounts and use small nut an bolts to mount it on my jetski and use a lanyard for back up

@shyyphotography They are shock proof, this thing could fall off of a plane and survive

[shyyphotography]

survived falling off a motorcycle at highway speeds and being run over by a car.. I call this a WIN!

[zagacks]

hahah, at least you smiled for the camera when you went to pick it up

Good to know, you have saved me from the same mistake.

Was thinking about the topbox and a suction cup.

Maybe I'll just use that on windows and use adhesive mounts for everything else.
