HSU Handlebar Mount for Action Camera 🚲
Description:
This handlebar mount secures action cameras to bikes and motorcycles for stable footage while riding, with quick adjustments to change angle on the go. It fits a wide range of action cameras and includes a robust clamp and ball head so you can set shots for cycling, commuting or motorbike trips.
Key Points
The mount uses a solid construction that replaces brittle plastic fittings with metal parts that resist vibration and wear. A protective rubber pad cushions the clamp to prevent marks on painted bars and to improve grip. The ball head allows 180° tilt and 360° rotation so framing is flexible, and the locking knob lets you fix the camera position quickly. Compatible models are extensive and include recent action cameras as well as several third-party devices. 😊
Technical Specifications
- Name: HSU Handlebar Mount for Action Cameras
- Material: Aluminium alloy
- Clamp range: 8 mm to 35 mm
- Included items: aluminium mount, aluminium adapter for GoPro, aluminium screw, aluminium wrench
- Adjustment: 180° tilt and 360° rotation
Usage Recommendations
Attach the clamp to a clean section of handlebar or seatpost and tighten until secure, ensuring the rubber pad sits between metal surfaces to protect the finish. Use the ball head to compose the shot and then lock the knob firmly before riding. For rough terrain, check the screws before each session and hand-tighten if needed. The mount is versatile enough for helmets on some rigs, for example when you need a secondary angle, though balance and safety should be considered. 🎥
Advantages
The most noticeable benefit is durability from the aluminium build, which keeps the mounting point rigid under vibration and repeated use. The universal adapter works with GoPro-style mounts and similar fittings, offering cross-compatibility with many action camera systems. Setup is straightforward and compact, making it easy to move between bikes or carry in a small bag. The metal construction may add a small amount of weight compared with plastic options, but it also increases longevity and stability according to the manufacturer. ⚙️
Practical Tips
Position the camera so the lens clears brake and gear cables and does not obstruct controls. When filming in wet conditions, wipe the rubber pad and mating surfaces afterwards to reduce corrosion risk on exposed screws. If you plan long rides, consider a backup clip or strap as an extra precaution for extreme off-road use. 🛠️.
