Im gonna try it on the tip of my ski soon, only worry is losing it. Gonna try getting a key finder and sticking that on the gopro so i can find it if it pops off already had a close call with it.

It is possible, but I don't think with any of the gopro mounts. I bought a fat gecko mount for my camera that has two beefy, maneuverable suction cups and pretty well sticks to any non-porous surface and can support up to an 8 pound camera, but I have to put it on while the surface is still warm. It was 100$ at Henry's in Ottawa. I don't know how the other suction cup mounts would hold up.

I REALLY want to stick my gopro up a wasp/hornet nest. How cool would that be??

i was looking at those at henry's and they are the exact same suction cups as the gopro one.

Thats the clip that made me want to try it out, and yes I did figure that vibration would knock it off, i was gonna try it one day and just as i dropped my skis onto hardback the mount flew off. Just hoping with a decent recovery system and soft snow itd be doable.

i like holding my gopro on the ends of beer cans while I'm swilling, tall boys and forty's work the best.

If I had one I'd mount it to whatever tool I'm using while making a longboard. And somebody try attaching one to a bike rim, so it just spins around. It probably won't fit through the fork...

Put it inside a battle bot I made for my engineering club. Shit almost got destroyed. Footage was pretty cool though.

I'm probably gonna try to mount mine to the front of my wakesurfer and/or the top of our tower to film some wakeboarding this summer.

definetly mount it to a rc boat and have a flashlight next to it. then drive it thru the sewers and see what there like!!!!!
but i would recommend having a line attached to it so if it gets stuck you can pull it out!
