i did some searching and even used some china made plastic ones which was not stable enough. it seem k-edge is the only brand that makes the alloy version? or is there other brand out there that you'd recommend? i have garmin 810 + gopro. thanks.

recmount.. i've seen them before. but a lot of bolts and washers to mess with right? and a bit heavy?

this is the one i used before: http://ebay.to/1UaA4KK on my kestral EMS bar.. after some bumps on the road.. it scratched up my bar.

I've got a Bar Fly 4 Road Max (SLi) GoPro Bundle, which works very well with my 810 + GoPro. It is really designed for a 1000 so it puts the 810 a little too far out.

I put a Bar Fly normal 2.0 SLi on my other bike which has the same 3T ARX stem and Ergonova bars and the 810 fits perfectly (I can move the underside GoPro mount to either bike). I can't say the 810 would fit with any cockpit though.

Yeah I know these are plastic but they're solid.

There's a thread in the cycle chat forum about custom mounts. There's a guy who will design to your request and then you pay Shapeways to 3d print it.

rec mount is good but kinda on the heavy side.

Pretty hard to go past the K-edge combo mount. Mounts easy, rock solid, does everything it needs to.

I have the Garmin-branded mount. It may not be the lightest or the prettiest but it works very well.

Don't get a BarFly. It's a very flexy mount so your footage is crazy shaky. Even when the screw is turned as hard as it can go, you can still move the mount with your hands.

Wasted a cycling trip in Japan with the BarFly... it was nauseating watching the resulting GoPro footage. Beautiful weather those days too.

K-Edge or Recmount is ideal, very stable platforms to shoot video from.

I tried one of the generic K-Edge copies available on Amazon. It worked fine, except that there was something with the metal that conflicted with my PC8, so I couldn't get consistent data from my SRM. (Yes, I troubled shooted it with SRM and tried several things, including a new battery. Everything started to work fine once I removed that mount.)
