HSU Vertical Mount for GoPro 90-degree adapter

If you want more flexible angles when filming in portrait style, the HSU vertical mount adapter offers a straightforward way to convert your action camera setup for 90-degree shooting. It is designed to work with a wide range of action cameras that use compatible mounting frames, so you can keep your gear consistent while changing the orientation. With a lightweight CNC machined aluminium build, it also aims to stay practical for everyday filming and travel. 🎥

Key features

The HSU vertical mount for GoPro uses a 90-degree conversion that makes it easier to capture vertical video and stills, with access to a wider set of shooting angles. That rotation is especially useful when you are filming tall scenes, multi person moments, or street style content where a portrait view helps tell the story. Instead of relying on software rotation later, the adapter lets you compose the shot in the orientation you plan to publish.

This version is described as an update with a special design for action cameras with a waterproof housing frame. If your camera setup includes an action camera case that is a floating style case, the manufacturer guidance is not to use this mount with a floating case. That detail matters because the mount is intended to fit the frame or housing style it was designed for.

The adapter also includes tripod support. You can connect it to a 1/4 inch screw accessory for action camera rigs, which gives you another mounting option beyond vertical on a handheld rig or other bracket. This makes the mount useful for steady shots on a tripod, car mounts, or any setup where you prefer hands free positioning. 📌

What to know before buying

The mount is mainly intended for vertical shooting, using the 90 degree conversion to help you capture photos and video from a different camera orientation. According to the product description, it is made to suit action cameras with a waterproof frame or housing. That means the way your camera is protected and how it sits on brackets is part of the compatibility picture. ✅

You will also want to think about your current mounting ecosystem. Because it can connect via a 1/4 inch screw for tripod style accessories, it can be a helpful upgrade if you already own tripods, small mounts, or stabiliser accessories that use that thread size. If your rig uses another mounting method, check how you normally attach your camera before assuming a direct swap.

In terms of build, the aluminium alloy construction is described as ultra light and compact, which can make it easier to carry without adding a lot of bulk. The CNC process is referenced in the description, which generally points to consistent machining for a snug fit. As a practical addition for creators who shoot both horizontal and vertical, the adapter helps you keep the same camera while changing orientation quickly.

Who it’s for

It’s a good fit if you frequently film vertical content, such as portrait format clips for social media, and you want to compose the shot with the camera already rotated. You’ll likely like it if your action camera uses one of the listed systems and you have a waterproof housing frame setup rather than a floating case. It also makes sense if you want an additional option for tripod use by connecting to a 1/4 inch screw accessory.

It might not be a great match if your camera case style is floating, since the manufacturer guidance specifically advises not to use this mount with a floating case. Not every action camera rig is interchangeable, so if your current mount relies on a different attachment approach, you may want to verify the fit with your specific housing and accessory thread before ordering. The value here is in the flexibility, using a compact aluminium adapter to unlock vertical shooting angles with a simple swap.
