While I learning to use my new GoPro Hero4 Silver I'm researching different camera mounts, mainly on YouTube. One I liked because it was simple and because it looked versatile, was a clamp mount.
The clip on YouTube was a simple 1/4 inch bolt through the top of the clamp that the tripod mount screwed into. I thought I could improve on the basic design.
I cut a couple of old window shade slats (out of styrene I think) and epoxied them to the sides of the clamp ...
... like so. Then I ...
... cut and epoxied two strips each of about 10 cms wide and ...
... epoxied them to the top edge of the first pieces I attached. These widened the top surface area I could epoxy a top piece of styrene that I ...
... attached the flat sticky mount.
Here's a top view which more clearly shows the finished product.
Its a versatile mount that is easily moved around and clamped to flat surfaces.
Take a look at this ;ø)

You have to translate it but I guess you see what I did, nice post and idea by the way.
Thanks Rolf! I had look and I will keep that in mind for future mounting projects.
