ALWAYS clean the GoPro suction cup

atruelunatic · 12-12-2011, 03:10 AM

Always clean the GoPro suction cup (or any other brands' mounting device) before use or else you'll end up like me:

I pulled up to this light to do a u-turn because I left my phone at home... Big surprise when I got home to realize it wasn't stuck to my bumper anymore. I was able to go back and find it unharmed. And yes there are antlers on the car for shits and giggles. >=]

Yikes. Glad you got it back.

M3roar · 12-12-2011, 09:25 AM

lucky it fell off when you stopped!

mdosu · 12-12-2011, 09:29 AM

luckily no one ran over it!
I'm boarderline buying the kit, but I always wonder how that thing sticks on so well. Basically as long as it's clean, no issues at all?

positiveions · 12-12-2011, 09:33 AM

that's just funny

klammer · 12-12-2011, 09:59 AM

It stays on just fine at speed. Reaching around speeds of 150 on the straights of Road America, feels rock solid

The suction cup is really strong. I was just stupid and in a rush (forgot cellphone as well) and didn't wipe the contact surface down or the suction cup itself.

They'll be removed on the 16th right before I bring the car to the shop. It's my last week having it for December before I go on vacation so I decided to mess around a bit. Reactions from peoples' faces are priceless... especially since they can't really see me looking back at them (I think they think window tint is a two way street where if you can't see in, you can't see out).

Party City! $15 and converts your 414 horse power to 414 reindeer power.

xchosun1x · 12-12-2011, 01:21 PM

not only that...make sure you have a wiped down surface on ur windows or paint before you put this on. I always cleaned the suction cup...but if your surface is dirty, theres no point.

I learned the hard way...fell off at the track bc of dirty and dust through the whole day.
