GoPro Magnet Mount - VERY Powerful, Paint Safe With Quick Release!

Make a POWERFUL, Paint Safe (won't scratch), GoPro Magnet Mount

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a paint friendly (won't scratch), easy to remove, VERY powerful GoPro magnet mount.

If you use the 80lbs magnet listed below you can attach the mount to dense ferrous metals (like steel I beams) and you'll be able to remove it fairly easily. If you're only going to be attaching it to sheet type metals (car bodies, motorcycle tanks, airplane bodies and want it to stick over speeds of 100mph, use the 249lbs magnet. Just don't stick this to an I beam or it'll be a real pain to get off.

What you'll need:

1. Magnet ($6 - 80lbs magnet here: http://amzn.to/1T1Toi3, or for a high speed mount with tons off pull $20 - 249lbs magnet here: http://amzn.to/1T1Toi3, - this is my personal fav and what I'm now using on my car. It'll even hold to the inside roof and pillars of your car! I'm sure it would even hold up to light aircraft - tested to 125mph on my car and it wasn't even shaking)

2. SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) $5: http://amzn.to/1R8yaZH

3. cheap superglue

4. Stick on GoPro mount

5. Scissors

That's it! This will take 5 minutes to make and works like a charm! Awesome GoPro mount.
