So today it completely broke.
luckily I didn’t lost the camera this time.
Itlooks like that the only way to use it. Is to connect the camera directly.
and just take booty videos for onlyfans or video of the rear view.
Waste of money.

You're not the first one one to experience this, seems to be a trend. Thanks for sharing. Have you thought about using one of these rear subframe mounts? Obviously not for track use but I think this is the coolest POV

It's not a waste of money, you just don't want to use it for what it's designed for.
Which is a rear facing Go Pro Session Cam or similar.

For a $7 you can buy 8 adhesive mount kits on amazon, they hold better than this mount.

I don't have any issue to give credit when needed. but this part sucks.
This is my opinion of course, but if you want to spend $300 and not $7, you'll have to glue the carbon to the plastic, otherwise you'll lose it too.

The mount is for a camera, not some long stick that sways and bounces with bumps. That $7 mount wont hold up to that either hate to tell you

First time they broke a GoPro or third party mount that attaches to the BMW tail piece.

Second time they attached an Insta360 metal mount and snapped the BMW tail piece mount.

Luckily the BMW piece is less than $33 USD MSRP.

The problem is they are attempting to shoot 360 and using a longer mount which like Alex said levering the mount and snapping it.

Action camera mounting?

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

If you insist on using the "normal" style GoPro mount instead of side mounting the Insta360 stick you may want to consider an aluminum mount but the adhesive will probably give unless you bolt/rivet it like Alex did in the other thread.

Go luck.

This thread had me thinking of the rig CSS has on their camera bike and how stout that rig is to prevent what we're talking about here.

I was thinking of that too. Look at the triangulation... Looks like experience talking.

I attached today the insta 360 directly to the mount, and was able to get back home with the camera.
video is a bit shaky.
IMO not worth the $250

When I had my Honda, I bought a spare seat cowl and drilled a hole in it for a Ram Mount ball. It worked awesome. With the BMW, I bolted a Ram Mount ball to the passenger peg hole. It works awesome for attaching various length arms. While not the same as the tail mount, it‘s still pretty cool.
