What To Look For Best Gopro Mount For Snowboarding

We’ve all been there. You are finally going on that snowboarding trip to Telluride. GoPro in tow with a full charge and memory to spare you are ready to capture all the gnar the weekend can throw at you. The only problem is afterward you start to review your footage and it looks like an epileptic was your personal cameraman. This is no good, but lucky for you we have compiled the Best GoPro Snowboard Suction mount.

What To Look For In The Best Gopro Mount For Snowboarding

  • Durability: If you’re like me when snowboarding, the possibility of going down is very real. As with the rest of my gear, anything that I’m wearing when snowboarding needs to be able to take a bit of punishment. A GoPro mount that can’t handle going down once or twice is just going to lead to a very frustrating afternoon.
  • Stability: A shaky GoPro is a worthless GoPro. With the rigors of snowboarding, we need to eliminate any instabilities that we can as they are only exasperated when the going gets rough.
  • Value: Professional level camera mounts can easily eclipse the cost of a GoPro. Luckily there are several enthusiast-level mounts available that offer great value for snowboarders of any skill level.
  • Mount Location: There are several locations to mount a GoPro while snowboarding. The type of snow (i.e. powder, packed or iced), desired POV (point of view), or the type of gear you are wearing all dictate the type of mount you should be running with your GoPro. Running the incorrect mount type for the wrong situation can result in a lot of frustration when reviewing your footage for the day.

GoPro Suction Cup Mount

The suction cup, with the 3m adhesive tape, is one of the most common ways to attach the GoPro to your snowboard directly. While a generally risqué move, this has the capability to deliver results far better than a helmet ever can. This makes it a wonderful if slightly risky move – read on to know how it fared.

This suction cup mount gives you a strong enough hold to keep the GoPro attached to the snowboard even in the trickiest of situations. For getting a low Point of View (PoV), there are few other ways of getting the same quality of shots – and this comes right from GoPro, so you can be assured of the quality of the materials used.

The suction mount is also useful for suppressing vibrations, which have the potential to distort any videos to unwatchable levels of shakiness. Coming to the low PoV again, provided you mount it right, the wide-angle lens will fare well and capture all of what you want it to. A few tests before heading out with the board and you should be good to go!

Neewer Gear GoPro Accessory Kit

This is the only kit with multiple accessories on this list – usually, multiple items in a single bundle generally don’t have items that all work satisfactorily. This one has fifty (!) items in it – and all of them will find use at some point of time or the other, especially the head mount, the helmet mount, the car mount, and the stick mount.

Keeping our review limited to snowboarding, there are 10-15 items in the kit worth considering the whole kit for. The rest can be used in a variety of other applications, such as while traveling and so on. The major USP of the kit is that each and every component is comparable in quality to their GoPro counterparts.

Why this is such a huge point should be clear by now. All our reviews above have been official GoPro products, which is because those products come with a degree of quality and peace of mind hitherto unreachable. If you have more than one GoPro which you want to use, this is the kit you should get. You won’t regret it one bit.
