GoPro Mount for Matrix 355

Post by SummitSitter »

Does anyone have any recommendations for a GoPro mount (for a GoPro HERO 4) to use with a Matrix 355? I came across a mount made by Munchmounts, but waiting to hear back from Terry. If anyone is using one of his mounts or any other company's...could you post some pics of your set-up? I would love to start using my GoPro while hunting and think that mounting it directly to the crossbow would be the best option. Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

I just used a bolt through the riser....and a tripod adapter

But the gopro only works for very close distances :?
I am thinking of trying the tac rail and mounting the camera under the rail??

I bought the GoPro Sportsman mount at Cabela's but I wouldn't recommend that. It's a lot cheaper at Walmart.

I like it.

Now then, get your equipment, your quiver and bow, and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

For Night-time, my setup's like this... I think it gives a little better image because you can actually see the bow and what's going on in the picture

Can you guys post a link to the tripod adapter so I can order one? I'm assuming that the tripod mount does not come with the HERO 4, right?

And is this where you would attach the GoPro to the crossbow?

Chad,

Does that mount allow you to attach the GoPro directly to your scope? I would like to ideally find a scope mount if possible...

Sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. Yes, the GoPro Sportsman Mount does allow you to attach it to the scope. I put it right on top.

You could also hang it under your gun barrel as well as other applications.
