efs4ever 3 #1 February 12, 2014 I just received one today. My objective was a shorter flexible mount that could be placed on my mud flap platform or on a helmet. The clamp that came with it is nicely heavy duty, and will be very handy for atypical mounting situations. BUT.................... Like many people who fiddle with things, I removed the pinchy mount that was fastened to the flexible tube. It was held on by one screw, and I wanted to explore the possibility of adapting that end of the tube to a helmet without using MR. F&^%^^&G PINCHY mount. Well, guess what?!? The thing was attached by one screw to a loose nut inside the impenetrable tube that, naturally, wasn't keyed, and fell into the tube never to be screwed again. Do any of you know how to dis-assemble this device so I can get my nut onto the screw that holds Mr. Pinchy on? Not only was it made in China, but it was prolly engineered there also. Russell M.

efs4ever 3 #2 February 12, 2014 Ok, for those who will suffer this problem in the future, here's how I fixed it. I used a hair dryer as a low temp heat gun to soften and expand a plastic "joint" and then popped it apart. That gave me access to the nut, and I held it in place with the retractor on a Pilot pen. I heated the female part of the flex tube up again and popped it back together. Shitty design. Russell M.

efs4ever 3 #3 February 12, 2014 GoPro sticky mounts do not attach well to everything. My mudflap mount is made of some kind of composite that doesn't mate well with stickies. That's why I wanted it secure. Please share your ideas with me as you encounter the issues. Thanks.Russell M.

monkycndo 0 #4 February 12, 2014 I make/sell a mudflap mount that slides under the mudflap and has an adapter that the sticky mount sticks to. The adapter is held on by a 1/4-20 screw so you can rotate/adjust it to any angle. You can also use a GoPro tripod mount, but that forces you to unscrew the case from the standard quick release, which I hate to have to do.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

It's just the same as loc-line hose normally used supplying coolant to cutting heads etc. See here http://www.loc-line.com/ Plenty of opportunities to make your own mounts/lengths etc should you like to mess around with stuff like this. Awesome design :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome design :-P Thank you. I guess I over reacted a bit. I've been using a ten inch stiff, but flexible, arm that I bought at B&H. I wanted about a five incher. I mount it on the bottom of a mudflap alti mount. I'll check their web site. Please share any of your innovations.Russell M.
