[Closed] Gopro Users - Is this the Best Handlebar Mount?

Look's like this is the best mount for my road bike mainly (would use chest mount on my MTB), but at £45 I'm struggling with the price. Does anyone use one of these - looking for some feedback or an alternative.
Cheers

A buddy of mine fitted an exposure light foot to the case all you need then is an exposure light mount.
Cheep if you already have the lights.

If not, have a look for a GoPro tripod mount and then buy a camera handlebar mount...you'll have a lot more choice then.

rocketdog - saw that one but the reason I picked the under the bar mount was because it took the GoPro out of the way - has great reviews but £45!
batman - I have an exposure light so will have a look at thta - the problem is that I use it on flash mode even during the day
d45 - will have a look at that
cheers

Have you thought about making your own?

I was in a similar position to you at laughing at the £45 price tag for the K-Edge mounts and the unreliability of the GoPro bar mounts, so I made something similar to this:

Fits on my road bike handlebars and also pretty much everywhere on my MTB for a total price of zero and an hour of my time.

I have the K-Edge one (think i got it for about £35 though) and is far better than the gopro - it is solid and doesn't rattle/wobble plus you can actually tighten the thing without the danger of breaking it like is a big problem with the plastic gopro ones.

Fits good on the bars, put the camera on upside down and it sticks out a bit you dont really notice it when you are cycling

Not tried the bar mount yet but was quite impressed with this mount set.
