Hi all,
I bought the new tail section from BMW, but by the time I got to Malibu, I lost the camera (I didn't secure it as it was too close to the back wheel).

How do you secure the camera if you're placing it on the back of the bike?

Thanks

When you say you lost it, did the screw come undone? They need to be done up using a spanner to get them F-tight. Also, is that fitting rated for a stick mounts or only for direct fittings? The forces on the rear from a heavy weight on a stick mount are way higher than a direct fit.

FWIW In my track bike using a Insta360 One R I used this mount and added extra bolts. But I had to do that clamp up with a spanner.

Mounting as you have it is asking a lot from the plastic in that GoPro style mount.

This seems like a common way to mount the Insta360, using the RAM claw mount + Invisible Selfie Stick and then securing the selfie stick to a second place on the frame. It looks like he is using the Extended Edition Selfie Stick.

Insta360 even offers a couple of packaged solutions.

Thank you so much!!!

I know this opinion might ruffle feathers. I just can't hold back saying that I can't articulate how much it uglies up the bike to have something like that garbage sticking out/off of it. And God forbid it flies off and hits or crashes out a fellow rider.... Again MY opinion, doesn't mean I'm right.

I got something like this and slide it on a bolt for the rear footrest. Then I just use a ball mount on the GoPro. I have a mic tucked in the tail/cubby, and a wire sitting inside the fairing hidden away to connect it to the GoPro when needed.

I just watched your video. Did you have a normal GoPro mounted to the mount and the mount broke or did you have the GoPro mounted to a selfie stick like Insta360 one shown in the picture above?

Sorry for some reason I didn't get notification about your message, I had the GoPro connected with a GoPro extensions (about 3 inch) and the extension broke.

Can anyone confirm if the GPS Mouse for the datalogger goes in that 'hole' in front of the GoPro connector?
Also do you have the part numbers for the above?
Yes, that slot is for the GPS mouse.

77317109004 is just the adapter. 77317108033 is the carbon adapter cover. Both work w/the painted and carbon pillion covers.
