HSU Aluminium Twin Camera Mount for GoPro – Longer dual adapter with 1/4 screw thread
Product description
If you’re the sort of person who wants two angles at once, a twin camera mount is one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner?” purchases. The HSU aluminium twin camera mount is designed to let you set up two action cameras on the same system, and it’s also built around the reality of action-cam rigs: you often want the camera plus accessories on the same plane.
That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all magic solution. A twin-mount approach can add bulk, and your final setup will depend quite a bit on what exact housing/frame you’re using and how you plan to route or mount accessories.
What this mount is for
This is a twin camera mount made for GoPro-style setups, specifically positioned for use with media mod frames or waterproof housing. In practice, it’s aimed at creators who want either: - two action cameras mounted together, or - the ability to add accessories alongside the action camera on the same plane.
The “longer dual adapter” design is there to give more flexibility in how the two-camera arrangement sits on the rig, which can matter when you’re trying to avoid awkward interference between housings or when you want accessories to sit where you expect.
A simple micro-scenario: if you’re filming an active day out (think bike + rider POV, or two angles for a vlog), you can mount two cameras for a more complete capture without having to swap mounts between takes.
Where it fits in the GoPro/action-cam ecosystem
The product description is fairly specific about compatibility. It’s intended for GoPro with Media Mod frame or waterproof housing, covering Hero 13/12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3. It’s also listed as compatible with Insta360 Ace and Ace Pro action cameras.
Because the wording references particular frames/housings, it’s worth pausing before you buy: if your current setup uses a different frame or a non-standard adapter, this may not line up the way you expect.
Key features that affect real-world use
The mount’s most practical advantage is the twin-cam support: it’s made to hold two action cameras, rather than being a single-cam accessory.
It also includes a built-in 1/4 threaded hole setup. The description states there are three standard 1/4-20 screw holes in the middle, and that they can be used with extension rods such as “magic arms”. This is a big deal if you’re building a rig with extra small items (lights, monitors, microphones, or other accessories) and want mounting options beyond just the camera.
Finally, the body is described as being made from an aluminium alloy. On paper, that points to a mount that should feel more robust than cheaper plastic adapters, especially if you frequently assemble/disassemble your setup for trips, shoots, or outdoor use.
What to consider before you commit
The limitations here are the ones you’d normally watch with any twin-mount system.
First, twin camera setups are naturally more complex than single mounts. You’ll need to plan spacing, balance, and accessory clearance. If you’re hoping for a clean, compact rig in your bag, it may not deliver the minimal footprint you get with simpler mounts.
Second, the description focuses on media mod frame or waterproof housing use. If you don’t use those frames, or if your cameras sit differently once housed, compatibility could be less straightforward than the headline suggests.
And finally, because this is a mount (not a full rig kit), you’ll rely on your existing tripod/stabiliser/arms/rods system. If you don’t already have 1/4-20 mounting accessories, you may find you need to add them to get the best out of the threaded holes.
Tech specs
- Type: Twin camera mount / dual adapter
- Material: Aluminium alloy
- Threaded holes: 1/4"-20 screw holes (three standard holes in the middle)
- Designed for: GoPro with media mod frame or waterproof housing, also listed for Insta360 Ace / Ace Pro action cameras

Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you actively shoot with action cameras and you want two angles in one setup, or you want to add accessories on the same plane as your camera. It’s also a strong match if your rig already uses 1/4-20 mounting parts (or you’re building around extension rods/arms).
You may want to skip it if you’re after a simple, lightweight mount for one camera only, or if your current housing/frame setup isn’t aligned with media mod or waterproof housing arrangements. It might also feel like overkill if you rarely shoot scenes that benefit from a second camera.
Pros
- Designed for twin-camera installation, not just a single mounting point
- Includes multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes for accessories and extension rods
- Aluminium alloy construction should hold up well with regular outdoor use
Final verdict
When it makes sense, this HSU twin camera mount looks like a practical way to level up your action-cam setups—especially for media mod or waterproof housing users who want the flexibility of extra 1/4-thread mounting options. The “longer” dual adapter approach is useful if you’re trying to make the two-camera layout work more naturally.
Buying it is harder to justify if you only need a single camera mount, if your rig doesn’t use the referenced frames/housings, or if you want a compact, minimal carry solution.
