[@JusDirtfishin]

I love my snap mounts. Learned about them from your channel awhile back. I recommend them to anyone that has a GoPro. I use the pro kit and the kit for the media mod.

[@skonstas4683]

I bought the snapmounts and was excited to use them. After one year the main mount on the camera cracked while I was screwing the thumb screw. I never used them for any kind of extreme conditions but it still cracked. Wrote to Snapmounts and never got a response.

[@dadlifetravel]

I love my snap mount ! You made me want to buy the kit and it's worth the money.

[@ddeewwyy_]

Thanks for putting me on this! Getting my first go pro and definitely answered my question about accessories!

[@andrew_veale]

Cheers for all the GoPro Vids, super helpful! Do you happen to know why when you shoot Raw Photos and then go to download them from the GoPro media library (subscription storage) they only come back as a jpeg? I'd love to edit the raw file but I can't find it?

[@redneckinvegas]

I went snowboarding this past week and I said, I haven't ordered the snap mounts and it would be so much easier with them. I'll check their website but probably just order from Amazon. Also what is the gold colored arm on your suction mount? Is there a short aluminum fixed extension that you like? I have a 9" magic arm and it's rock solid but if there's one with the gopro feet you recommend it would be great. Thanks again Brian

[@philippecloarec]

Hi David. Thx for sharing your expertise on this. Clearly some good stuff to have ..😉

[@crystalanokam]

Got a snap mount kit cause of you! i was wondering what kind of tripod you use with the snap mounts? I got the GoPro 3 way tripod and the snap mount with GoPro is too heavy the head wobbles… not sure how to alleviate this?

[@The_Ginge]

Love my Snap Mounts! Haven't had the gopro out in a bit, been playin' around with a Pocket 2 buuuut when I do, it's snappy snaps all day. They're awesome! BTW, also used the phone mount bit for several months out in the mounts and it worked fantastically. I think I knocked it off the backplate ONCE, but that was my fault. Had a backplate attached to my backpack strap and thrust my arm out, smackin' the side of the phone hard enough to knock it off. But regular use, thing is epic.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Ohhhh, that's a clever use of the phone mount as like a POV shot! I'm usually using mine on my desk to watch videos then switch to my GoPro to go film. But man, this phone mount is beefy 🤣

[@The_Ginge]

@@DavidManningvlog POV and super easy access. The phone mount itself was on GoPro's Max Grip, doubling as a tripod for doing those little hiking bits where you walk past your camera and used as a selfie stick for talky bits or brol bits. Pull it off, record what ya need, slap it back on, keep hiking. Without ever needing to dig around in my pack for anything. Rode Wireless GO hooked up to it too. So yeah, all in one, easy on, easy off. Love em

[@danwilkinson4948]

I have owned snap mounts for my GoPro since they came out on the market. They are fantastic. I just received there bicycle mount and it is very robust and solidly designed. Mind you I don’t use on my bike, I use it on my tractor 🚜 👨‍🌾😁 and it works like a charm! Fyi - congrats on daughter no.3👧👧👧

[@juliapeck5767]

Ooooh that mtb mount- yes finally a snap off !

[@IthacaDon]

Ordered! Had to go back and make a second order for the bike mount.

[@NuManXplore]

Very cool system, but I’m going with the F22 since it’s got a mechanical lock, and it’s less bulky.

[@simonwyndham]

The only thing I don't like about the snap mounts are that it makes the camera even more bulky for use on a helmet. It's a great concept, but I wish there was a way of doing it that didn't interfere as much with the profile of the camera.

[@mrrandom2501]

What selfie sick do you use and does the Snapmount fir the Gopro 11?

[@danilo2567]

heey, man! Still watching your video, but wanted to get your perscpective, if possible.. if money is not an issue, would you prefer gopro or osmo action 3 to film street skateboard? I am debating wicht one to buy.. the main thing in favor of osmo action 3 is the field of view.. i haven't be able find exact numbers, but it seens the osmo action 3 has a wider field of view than the gopro.. this, for skate, is HUGE... the adventure combo, with the charging case is really a plus too.. haven't see your test about the 10bit osmo action 3 yet.. I specially interested in 4k+ 60 fps and 120 fps... for the gopro hero 11, apparentely the image quality is better.. and there is the 8x7 aspect (4k 60fps) which is a big plus too... how different is the field of view in 4k 120fps? is there a big difference in image quality between the two in this settings? sorry for the bad english :)

[@SethJ-2525]

The only thing that’s prevented me from ordering a Snap mount in the past is the size of them. I wish they could find a way to make them just a little smaller and less bulky, it’s one more thing to carry around with everything. Nonetheless, I decided to give them a shot with the promo code so we’ll see if the practicality of it outweighs the size.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I think the practicality issue depends on how often you switch mounts. I have four mounts that I regularly switch between throughout the day, so for me, the added size pales in comparison to how much easier they make my life. Which mounts are you mainly using?

[@user-wg3ie3tw2b]

My friend's GoPro11 exploded on his head while he was playing with a ball. GoPro 11 cameras get very hot and may burn. Be careful this is a very dangerous video camera.

[@SethJ-2525]

@@DavidManningvlog I agree, and I think I will like it. I just wish it was a bit smaller especially if I want to mount it to something like my helmet. Just looks a bit weird when I’m not using it. I mainly use it for snowboarding so my GoPro is usually on my helmet or selfie stick.

[@TechyTechAdvanced]

Been looking for a lanyard system to keep my cellphone safe while kayaking with no luck till now. Thanks!

[@bthomas493]

I’ve owned a Snap Mount for a couple of years. It’s an awesome accessory!

[@GreenEyeStudios718]

Have you done a video of the bike mount with locking plate and review it to see how it handles?

[@charlesonamac]

David do you have gimbal you prefer for gopro?

[@fishingwithScotto]

David - will the Snapmount for the iPhone 14ProMax fit the phone when it is in an OtterBox case?

[@TC_Conner]

Can you use Snap Mount when your GoPro is in the Media Mod or in another cage (the Ulanze G5-9 for example)?

[@DavidManningvlog]

They actually have a specific MediaMod Snap Mount that you can pickup from their site. It has a bit more room so the MediaMod can lay flat in the mount👍

[@jacknsaav]

Love my Snap Mounts....love them even more now that I have the one that works with the Media Mod!!!!

[@CJ-rk5eg]

Anyone use snap mounts on vehicles going off-road?? Is the magnetic connection strong enough to the keep the GP attached?

[@TroyKasper]

Oh and I got my shirts and they are QUALITY!!! Super thick and comfy. Love it.

[@DavidManningvlog]

So stoked you like them Troy, thanks for picking some up! We really worked to make sure they were top quality! Wait until the hoodies come out man, they're going to be so rad🙌

[@MIGeoMous]

It is the best thing ever! Please have GoPro enable preview while recording on gopro 9 - 10 🙏

[@adilux3]

I’m looking for a gimbal that utilizes the snap mount and can mount a GoPro and/iPhone 14 pro max

[@RobertHarvey101]

Dumb question. Does it work with the Media Mode? Thanks.

[@running4fun74]

Hey david. Can Snap Mounts be used for other action cameras (like Insta360 One R) as well or only GoPro?

[@Crazyfornayeon]

would you recommend it on my helmet while dirt biking? it might hit on trees

[@TobyNorthEN]

David, the ONLY thing I've come across with Snapmounts is they don't work (well) with 360 cameras. OR, at least not from my experience thus far. Does anyone have a hack/trick to keep the Snapmount from being visible in the 360 views? 5:33 - Lastly, the only thing I don't like (loose term) about the phone mount is that the "arm" isn't long enough to confidently accommodate holding a phone in the vertical (portrait) mode.

[@jrseda1]

Which is the stick you use at the end of the video?

[@aishuwanders]

is it compatible with go pro hero 11 black doesnt mention this on website?

[@DejanSmaic]

This is a nice mount for "sedentary" shoots / sports. But, for action sports, like whitewater kayaking or mountain biking, this mount leaves a lot to be desired and hope you don't lose the GP. Thanks for putting together these videos.

[@TobyNorthEN]

Maybe you missed this part at 2:54. I have these, and have been on questionable "roads" with no issues.

[@DejanSmaic]

@@TobyNorthEN riding single track in Colorado and running class IV-V whitewater, the GoPro would be gone, even though I tether everything. I like this idea and would consider this mount if I were still working full time as a photographer shooting action sports, and always moving. But, like everything, it has limitations. But, it’s still a great concept and consistently think about picking one up.

[@TobyNorthEN]

@@DejanSmaic I want to ensure I understand your point. Are you saying the "locking" mount wouldn't survive these conditions or do you mean the base magnet mounted to the mode of travel (bike, kayak, canoe, etc.)? If you're referring to the magnet strength (base mount) I totally get the risk you're talking about. Hopefully, I'm making sense with my response/question. LOL. If not, my bad.

[@Igodostuff]

Snap mount and media mod makes you put the bolt in on the wrong side according to the media mod cut out.

[@xylol412]

Do they offer a tether?

[@JakebMiller]

Sad I'm about to do a video about this same mount and don't have a great one to give because mine broke only after 2 months of use. Mine popped off my bike several times and finally flew off on a small bump and snapped in half. I love the functionality but I didn't have a great experience with mine.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Did you have it on a locking adapter on your bike? Anything action based, you should for sure be using a locking adapter. Magnets have great pull strength, but lack in sheer strength, meaning they can slide side to side against each other. So anything where you're going to be heavily bumping up and down, you need to have those locking adapters on there. If you had the locking adapter on and it came loose that would for sure be something to note!

[@JakebMiller]

@David Manning when I purchased the mount they didn't have that mount and I just learned about it through your video. I'm going to look into maybe getting that setup and give it another test. I really liked the mount and used it a lot a different spots on the bike. So I may have to give it another shot! Thanks for the reply Awesome Human!

[@schrodingerscat23]

Hey David! And he everybody else! Please help with this Go Pro situation I have! Whenever I connect the go pro to my computer, it says there are no files. Image Capture, Finder, and GO pro Legacy software. All say the same. However, when I remove the SD card and put in a card reader, they all detect the files. Any idea what's going on?

[@RayRayNNj]

Without realizing it, you probably made the best case for this item in advertently. When you were describing the parts and put the one piece down on the table and immediately grabbed the other piece. You really demonstrated the power of the magnets in one fell swoop, probably without even realizing. it was very funny to watch.

[@MRMRS2wheeler]

Another great one David. Would you trust snapmounts on a motorcycle? Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Will snap mounts make something for the mini?

[@DavidManningvlog]

I doubt it... I think the Mini is already a pretty niche product, so to build ecosystem for it is tough. It also makes more sense to use the Mini with the full size SnapMount (which it fits great), so that both my GoPro 11 and GoPro Mini can swap between all my different mounts

[@MrMonk330]

I love my SnapMounts.! They are definitely the best investment for a GoPro user.

[@enormegaming1147]

Really a go pro floaty should be used for any water based activity besides vlogging in rain

[@Jespervangcom]

Never heard of Snap mount before . But it looks pretty great. Need to find out if there is an european dealer, or if they ship to Denmark :-) Thanks for sharing this video

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks for watching in Denmark Jesper! Not sure if they ship to Denmark, but I'm sure their site can answer that. They're pretty impressive mounts to use!

[@purple87ss]

Awesome!

[@EBMTB77]

Do you think snap mounts would be strong enough to put on a chest mount for mountain biking? Thanks.

[@simonwyndham]

They do a more robust version that has a locking mount as well.

[@HikingwithGus]

Yes... I use it for backpacking and hiking. I have a mount attached to a chest pack, I crawl over and under logs, bushwhack etc and have never had it come off my chest pack. I also have o mount on a trekking pole with the locking adapter and it works great.

[@ahduck7]

Yes, I'm also waiting for them to make a magnetic chesty so that I can wear the chesty harness under the mtb jersey. I gotta look good when my riding skills are bad. hahaha

[@sakriso]

Surprised that you didn't mention that Snap Mounts had to create the Media Mod adapter as the GP in the media mod doesn't fit well in the original standard mount.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yeah, they offer both options! If you're rocking a MediaMod, you for sure want that mount👍

[@helpaholic]

I’ve been trying to think of a way to attach the GoPro to the peep hole on the inside of the door so that we can record

[@scoutfai]

How does the SnapMount compares to other alternative like the Ulanzi GP-4 Magnetic Quick Release system? The Ulanzi one looks much smaller.

[@jernejkokelj]

I sold Snapmounts for Ulanzi Magnetic mounts. For me they are just better, because they are smaller and you can use them on invisible selfy stick.

[@scoutfai]

@@jernejkokelj Is the Ulanzi magnetic mount secure enough to be used on mountain biking?

[@jernejkokelj]

@@scoutfai Yes it is, I use it all the time on MTB.

[@judeemclaughlin7394]

So how easy is it to remove the snap plate? It might solve my problem

[@DavidManningvlog]

I've put them a few spots and been able to pull them off no problem. One of them came off and I was able to reuse the Snap Plate, but another one was on there really good, so when I removed the plate, it bent a bit

[@charlesharte7037]

Does anyone know what grip he uses when talking about the "I dont use it in water" section?

[@davewyman]

I don't the the handlebar adapter will fit a lot of handlebars.

[@flightriot3454]

I still love my snap mounts.

[@DanielLiwanag]

SnapMount website shows they're only compatible up to GoPro Hero 10...I'm assuming it would be compatible with the GoPro Hero 11 also...right?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yep, Hero 10 and 11 are the exact same physically. I'll reach out to Snap Mounts to see about updating their site👍

[@SNAPMounts]

[@DavidManningvlog]

[@teamsaunz]

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a doom buggy (or whatever it’s called)? I got Snap Mounts after your first review of them and I love them too. Only thing that is a con (just a small con), they don’t fit on the Hero 9, 10, 11 properly. There are 2 things that stick out a bit and rub against the screen. Hasn’t scratched my screen but since the Hero 9, 10, 11 are a bit bigger than the Hero’s before, I wish they made them like half a cm to a cm wider that way the things that rub against the screen will be beside the GoPro. Anyways, Snap Mounts do rock. Might even buy the new one since I do a lot of off-roading electric bike riding. Super “dope” video. Learning your lingo, lol.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Hahaha! Not doom buggy, DUNE buggy. It's an off-road car specifically designed for sand dunes👍 Interesting to hear that your Snap Mounts are touching your screen. The two tabs on mine sit right outside the screen area and touch the side of the GoPro. Maybe reach out to Snap Mounts if it's causing any rubbing and they can help you out

They should make one with a 1/4 screw that directly screws into a tripod mount. I don't get why they haven't made one yet. I hate using those GoPro tripod adapters. They always break and you need an additional thumb screw to make it work.

I think of it as a safety feature that it can come off if on my chest. I have asked them to make a chest mount so that it can be stealth under my jersey. But I throw a plate in my fanny pack and move from my chest to my pack and don't have to stop pedaling if I want to switch views quickly and with GoPros self leveling I can have the camera upside down on the chest then right side up on the pack or on a seat mount.

[@evolutionaryTom]

My shop looks like a SnapMount warehouse thanks to you and Snapmounts. So darn clever in everything they do. I think the locking snapmount should be the standard for everything. Buy a bunch of their extra long screw knobs and you'll never use another kind in your life. I didn't know about the handlebar mount. I should just link my bank account to them and let them do automatic pulls. -Tom

Bought these last winter on your recommendation. They worked so well on the ski hill too. Stuck one to my jacket through a pocket and it stayed on even after a light tumble on the other side.
