Best way to attach a gopro to a rig

[Pyndle]

Hey guys,

Just looking for ideas of ways to mount my gopro to my rig (Seafrog A6500 + 2x Z330 and 2 arms/side).

I know there are cold shoe mounts but I've had bad experiences with them in the past (to put a focus light), the thing kept getting loose and I'm worried I might lose the gopro.

Any other tips? Something that can attach on an arm maybe?

Thanks!

When attaching devices to a cold-shoe, I also tie some paracord to both the device and the mount. I do that in general, because I've even had those plastic GoPro-mount-pieces break as well.

I have lost one light off a cold-shoe mount, it was tied, but I used a sort of cave-line that's not stretchy, which I learned means it comes untied easier. Paracord has been much more reliable in my experience.

I would look at one of these ball mounts:

These can easily be paired with a triple clamp to add onto an arm:
