Zipmount is a simple, compact and reusable mount that combines GoPro style fittings with the versatility and strength of zip ties. The design permits a standard zip tie to be threaded through the mount, allowing you to attach a GoPro camera to almost anywhere you can attach a zip tie, or cable tie, in just a few seconds.

This basic combination gives you a range of mounting possibilities for when the standard adhesive mounts are simply not practical. The additional soft foam base layer provides protection from scratches and allows the mount to grip curved surfaces. Bike frames, hand rails or even helmets are just a few of the options available with this design. And when it needs to be removed, the tie can simply be unclipped or cut, freeing the mount.

Zipmount has a small 34mm square footprint

Zipmount is a great in-between mount for times when adhesive mounts are just not suitable and when clamps, or other mounting accessories are too bulky. Small and compact, Zipmount can be added to your GoPro accessory kit without taking up too much space.

Using The Mount

Using the mount is quick and easy. First thread the zip tie through the mounting holes. Depending on the holes used, the camera can be made to face forward, or at 90 degrees to the mounting point.

Next, wrap the zip tie around the mounting point and pull tight. The foam base should compress, giving the mount a secure contact point. If additional holding force is needed, grooves cut on either side of the mount allow you to attach two additional zip ties.

Finally, attach your GoPro camera with the standard threaded post!

Construction

Zipmount fits in the palm of your hand, and is made up of three components:

Injection moulded body made from PC/ABS. A strong, high quality plastic. A closed cell foam base to prevent scratching, and improve the contact area on curved surfaces. An open ended M5 hex nut, compatible with GoPro threaded posts.

The final item, zip ties, compete the package. These thin plastic strips with a built in locking mechanism can be found in any hardware store or automotive warehouse. They are cheap, strong, and come in both single use and reusable styles, and in a range of lengths. Zipmount Reward Level 2 will ship with a small number of zip ties to get you started.

90 degree rotation can be achieved by swapping the mounting holes.

Foam base conforms to curved surfaces.
