STICKS FINE AT 80MPH
Pros: hangs on tight. strong and stable
Cons: too many knobs to adjust. needs a ball head.
I'm looking at my GoPro Suction Mount trying to understand what Bob means by "extremely plastic looking". If this is to imply that that it is somehow fragile or easily damaged, I couldn't disagree more. The fact is, this mount is very durable and solid, and it does an excellent job of locking the camera in place and minimizing vibration. You would have to be really careless, and abuse this mount far beyond the wear and tear it would be subject to under ordinary use to break it.
The suction cup is very strong, and it held on to the door of my car at 80MPH on a bumpy highway. It was admittedly somewhat nerve racking knowing my $300 camera was being held in place by nothing but a suction cup. But I'd have those reservations with any kind of suction cup mount. You just have to ensure that the mounting surface is clean, smooth and relatively flat, and that there is no oil or grease on the suction cup. The GoPro mount worked well enough that I'm willing to try it out on a racetrack this summer at much higher speeds. But, as I would with any suction mount, I'll probably attach a lanyard just in case.
The one complaint I do have about this mount is that it can be time consuming articulating it so that the camera is pointing where you want it. You can end up fiddling with 5 different knobs to get the camera pointing in the right direction. Something with a ball head would really shorten the setup time, and this is why I've only given it a rating of 3.

GOPRO HERO SUCTION MOUNT ... IS IT REALLY PRO
The item seems to work as described, however I was a little dissapointed in the quality if the unit itself. From the description on the GoPro website, I expected it to be well constructed and engineered, it is that however it is extremely plastic looking. The website claims you can hang this on the side of an air craft, I have issues about it sticking to the side of my motorbike's gas tank ... I would never trust it! I would save your money and invest in more of the traditional mounts. I guess I should have expected this when the item came in a plastic bag, the savings on packing was definately not put into the product.
