Cool GoPro Swivel Mount

DISCLAIMER: the owner of this project is a friend of mine, so I may be a bit biased...but...

With that being said I have been in many situations where a mount like this would have come in handy, including the track day I just did on my motorcycle last Sunday:

http://www.swivit.us

It's a cool one hand operated swivel mount with presets so you can quickly change the angle that the camera is facing without fiddling with the screws. Those of you that run GoPros know how much of a hassle this can be in certain situations. I've seen the prototype and the thing is sturdy, will stand up to high speeds without changing angle and doesn't introduce extra vibrations.

Anyways, really hope his Kickstarter campaign makes it because there have been plenty of times where this mount could have come in handy in the past on my moto and even when I attempt to surf...hahah. Could see it coming in handy during a group ride in the BMW as well to get some cool footage...

Looks proper, I guess it is more of a convenience with a swivel head rather than playing with the screws

Here's a thread on a Ducati forum I'm on where the owner/inventor jumped into the thread to discuss the mount:

I just backed the SWIVIT Pro on Kickstarter as well. Looks like a very useful accessory for the Go Pro Hero
