The RAM MOUNTS Twist Lock Suction Cup Mount with Custom GoPro Hero Adapter allows you to attach a GoPro HERO action camera to a variety of smooth, flat surfaces including glass, non-porous plastics, painted sheet metal, and more. For courser surfaces you can even employ one of the RAM MOUNTS adhesive disks, available separately, between the suction and the mounting surface. Linking the suction cup and the GoPro mount there is a 3" extension arm that is articulated at both ends using ball joints. A single knob unlocks both joints, allowing you to tilt, rotate, raise/lower, and swivel the camera into just about any angle conceivable.

A standard three-prong GoPro adapter is included, and is compatible with virtually all GoPro housings and frames. Plus, the riser arm uses RAM MOUNT's "B" size ball joint standard, so you can even swap at the camera mount with a standard 1/4"-20 version, available separately, to use the suction with other types of cameras.

Q: 1. I would use the fat gecko on the deck of my kayak,Is it stable enough in the wind & getting a little wet?

A: I think this can withstand 60+ mph wind on the hood of a car so I imagine it would work on your kayak. Just make sure the surface when you first stick it on is dry and clean.

Q: 2. Anyone know why the GoPro clamp has a tilting hinge on it? Is that to allow access to the LCD screen on Hero4 Silver models? Or maybe allow for different camera/angles or something? At least with the Hero4 Black tilting it down doesn't seem to allow me to access the battery or any other ports. I'm just wondering why it's setup that way (maybe just to make it similar to existing GoPro mounts?

A: The tilt is there so that you can swap the battery on your GoPro while still mounted on your Fly-X3 Plus.

Q: 3. Is this product Compatible with the chest strap

A: Yes. This is compatible with the GoPro Chesty (Performance Chest Mount).

Q: 4. does this also work with the FLY-X3 first model?

A: Hello Zeb. I hate to contradict Clayton, but the official answer is an unfortunate no . The X3 and X3-PLUS certainly have a similar design and function, but the original X3 doesn't allow for the changing of mounts like the X3-PLUS. That was, in fact, one of the driving points on developing an upgraded unit.

Q: 5. Can the tension be fine tuned to where the camera will hold its position, but also move by grabbing and moving the camera, without first loosening the tension screw?

A: No, the SP-Gadgets Swivel Arm Mount for GoPro HERO uses a screw locking system to hold the GoPro in place, and would need to be loosened and tightened to move the position of the GoPro.

Q: 9. Hi will this adapter work when connected to other USB C devices such as smartphones ?

A: Probably not. The phones software/hardware would have to be engineered to do this. I tried it on my Google Pixel XL and it did not work.

Q: 10. Can you use it with a gimbal kit?

A: Yes you can. For this product we would suggest using a gimbal like the Rage-S, which has a 1.4 pound load capacity. https://bhpho.to/2NdyxZu
