GoPro / Insta360 Mash-Up! Mounting a 360 Action Camera on a Motorcycle

Got a GoPro Max and a motorcycle?  You’re going to want to mount it, right?  Well, there’s the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Bad news:  GoPro doesn’t make a mount to put your 360 camera on your motorcycle.
Good news:  Insta360 DOES!
Ugly:  You have to go to yet another 3rd party manufacturer for adapters to go from the standard 1/4″ thread [tripod adapter] to the GoPro’s “fingers”.

More good news – I got you covered on this one!  In the video below, I show you what I got, what I’m currently using, the new test setups, and then the tests themselves and the results!

Scroll past the video for a list of what I bought to film this video, as well as my standard recording fare.
