Rock Steady Tie Down GoPro Attachement

[Mike A]

I got a new GoPro 360 and the Rock Steady tie down attachment for Christmas. Has anyone else used this to attach their GoPro’s to their Mooney’s?  I’m a little skeptical that it’s going to stay in one place and worry about it loosening and banging against the bottom of the wing. PIREPS appreciated.

I've not used that specific mount but have mounted many, many GoPros on the outside of my Mooney in lots of different locations with different types of mounts. That one should be just fine and is probably overkill for the application. The forces on the camera mounted out on the wing or anywhere outside, are really not that great. Just snug everything down and you'll be fine.

After trying almost every mount in the book, I've settled on the sticky mounts as the best option for mounting on the airplane.

Just make sure that the screw is really tight. Otherwise the wind will push the camera up.
