Nice video! I am a rock climber and I love it! Just a quick (and maybe dumb) question: when done, do you just cut the plastic and take off the gopro?

John - 6 years ago

This could be cool for doing a shot from the mast my sailboat, just have to find a way to stabilize side to side.

Josh Davies - 7 years ago

Can anyone think of some sort of counter balance to keep the GoPro above the rope?

José Carlos Colado Merino - 8 years ago

do you think its safe for waterskiing ?

Reflechissons - 9 years ago

The camera is perpendicular to the rope, is that possible to make parallel ?
I'd like to attach a gopro to a rope that is attached an anchor and a buoy is order to film under water.
Thanks !

Lynda Smart - 9 years ago

Is this permanant

Filip Kopec - 10 years ago

I find this extremely pointless

Filip Kopec - 9 years ago

Ohh OK thank you for the explanation

OuTDARed - 9 years ago

not if you had the rope on a pulley system so you could have a moving shot, or a shot that you can change simply by pulling the rope... Or u could just take the end of the rope and swing it around like mad and get some cool footage

AJ Rhoads - 10 years ago

What you need to take into consideration is that the rope actually twists alot when climbing. I didn't even see this video before trying a rope mount with my contour cam, but what you need are some stabilizers that allow the camera to roll up the rock face when climbing.

Cis Devoldere - 10 years ago

can you do this on a pole

Has anybody found a video of this mounted to a toprope in climbing? I see 2000 shaky videos of helmet cams while climbing, but I think this perspective would be a lot cooler (either mounted right at the harness pointed up, or mounted 3 feet above the climber on the toprope, pointed down, obviously removed before reaching the anchor.)

noneofmynameswork1 - 5 years ago

it's been 4 years, but i'll still comment. I'm thinking of trying "mounted 3 feet above the climber on the toprope" in a few weeks when if I go ice climbing

Elisha Levi - 10 years ago

Ohh

neolightproductions - 10 years ago

Stumbled on this video. I do rock climbing at a local gym. This would be sweet if they would let me do it.

Elisha Levi - 10 years ago

Wait wars it for??? And can you make a video where you show us how to make a headstrap mount or a bodyboard mount?

neolightproductions - 10 years ago

@Matt McNeil Nice idea. Save yourself like $20 bucks...

Matt McNeil - 10 years ago

Helmet mount = use the zip ties on the vent holes on the helmet!

Elisha Levi - 10 years ago

Awesome

John Simon - 10 years ago

When using the ties, having been cut with a wire cutting tool, the ties are extremely sharp and will slice you right open. Tie wrap makes an inexpensive tightening/snipping tool which eliminates this problem. Should be available at HD, LOwes or Graybar. No sharp edges on the boat...blood stains the fiberglass.

William Bruce - 10 years ago

whatre the materials i have to use?

Dirk Wizzard - 10 years ago

I don't know what you 'd use that for but that is clever. I'll remember to include zip ties in my kit.

OuTDARed - 9 years ago

@GoPro Tips and Tricks maybe if someone had a pulley system for the rope and wanted a moving shot on it

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 10 years ago

Haha, I don't don't know what would use it for. But I had a lot of people asking for it so I made it. Perhaps people use it climbing.

Christoff Aucamp - 10 years ago

maybe show some sample footage at the end

Md. Mahfuj Alam Siddeq - 6 years ago

Exactly

Brian Weaver - 10 years ago

could you show me where to put a mount on the barrel of a bb gun ?

Hi Kyle! Very Informative video. I wasn't able to find your business email and would love to talk to you about some integration opportunities. I left you an inbox message with more information, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime.

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Yes it would

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Thanks

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

That is really weird, I have not ever seen that problem before. The only way I can think of fixing it would be by turning off ProTune.

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I will try to get my hands on one, but I make no promises

HAZNATIONBIKES - 11 years ago

if anyone had the chance to check out my GoPro bmx racing channel and check out my videos it would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Philiphfisch - 11 years ago

exactly what I was looking for +

JamieWadd91 - 11 years ago

looks like the new Jaws Flex Mount would do a good job at this

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Will do

Thanks! Thanks for your support

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

don't have any right now but if I get some I will post it right away

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Thanks! Will do

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I will do my best to find some video of using this

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Will do, thanks for your support.

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I am not totally sure, but putting it on a rope swing come to mind. The rope in the video is a old main halyard off of a sail boat.

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I check out your video It look Awesome! Yes I think the zip ties are easier but your way could be more sucure.

JamieWadd91 - 11 years ago

Great idea with the zip ties! I've made a rope mount before but just packed the handlebar mount with inner tube rubber until it was snug, zip ties looks easier. If anyone wants to see what the footage from the rope mount looks like go to my channel, video is entitled "The Kids Summer 2012" :)
