Light & Motion GoPro Mount Adapter
The Light & Motion GoPro Mount Adapter is the go-to choice for riders who want modularity, leveraging the ubiquitous GoPro-style mounting system for easy on/off and multi-device use. Its technical advantage is seamless cross-compatibility with action camera mounts and a robust interface that lets you share mounts between cameras and lights, though it usually costs more than simple strap kits. Against dedicated helmet mounts, it wins when flexibility and ecosystem compatibility are priorities rather than the lowest price or minimal profile.
