The mount is a nice idea and would be great if not for the weak screw that holds the ball head in place. I purchased this with the intention of mounting my Gopro (with tripod attachment) on the downtubes of my hang glider. Unfortunately the screw that locks the ball head in place is not able to adequately support the weight of the Gopro except when near directly vertical. So whilst the product might be o.k. in situations where the camera will be mounted directly above the ball head, it is not the best at holding the camera in position on an angle.
