Wrist Mount & Ankle Mount?
I just wondered if people had any reccomendations for Wrist Mounts / Ankle Mounts for the GoPro?

Anything of the shelf is good but also any home-made stuff would be interesting to hear how people are doing it Smile

Thanks Smile

I've recently seen some magnetic mounts that look really nice, because they will break away if they are entangled by a line or bridle.

They actually stayed pretty secure for 3 second slider down openings.

Were the magnetic mounts you've seen home made or anything like this?

I'm curious what kind of pull force would be needed on a magnet to be ok for slider down... though less than keen to loose a GoPro to find out Wink

You could just fill the case with lead and do some jumps to test it out.

The one I saw was bought off Amazon, I think. Let me look for a link.
