Comparison
- There are many cheap copies of this but beware, the quality might not be to the same standard of the GoPro version. Putting a £400 camera on a cheap clamp might not be the best idea
General

- Be careful clamping to soft things as the jaws are very strong and will probably mark it
Tips
- Attaching the camera directly to the jaw is can reduce the vibration but reduces the ability to twist the camera
