Lightweight GoPro mount!!!

Bestbuy.com has the GoPro "TheFrame" mount on sale for $18.99Usd compared to the regular proce of $39.95, this little frame would be great for mounting the GoPro Hero3 or Hero 3+ to all of your FPV and Aerial photograpgy rigs, I picked one up at my local Best Buy after showing them the add online they honored the online price "must be added to cart to see price of $18.99" Link 

Frame weight is 32grams Compared to stock GoPro mount 104 grams!!!!

What's Included

  • GoPro The Frame Mount
  • Standard frame, BacPac frame, lens cover
  • Flat and curved adhesive mounts, mounting hardware
  • Owner's manual

I did a quick easy mod by swapping the large plactic thumb screw with a M5 hex head screw to reduce the weight too 27grams!!!!

 Stock Knob

5mm Hex mod

This mod could be further improved by using a nylon Screw but my local HW store doesnt carry metric nylon.

FINAL WEIGHT WITH CAMERA INSTALLED IS 104 grams

I just thought I would share this great buy with everyone else I think its a good and cheap way to get a study mounting platfiorm for GoPro 3 and 3+ for a really good price, but Hurry I dont know how long the sale will Last!!!!
