Would this be a good option to mount a Hero3 to a canoe for an 80 mile river float? Also, would this pull double duty for long rides on a road bike?

Float, yes. Bike, no. The clamp is long enough to magnify the vibrations of the bike as well as every bump on the road and wind gusts; unless the road, engine, and wind is exceptionally smooth, the video might be too shaky to be much good. Get a roll bar clamp or a helmet mount instead. One plus point, though, is it's easy to attach / detach and orient, so it'll give you a better chance to try out different perspectives quickly instead of a long stop to unscrew/screw multiple attachments, and the clamp can hold onto most places - handlebars, leg guards, grabrail, more.

Yes, this mount would work perfect for both activities. I personally think its the most versitile mount for the gopro. Maybe order 2 of them so you can take the neck piece off one and attach it to the other for a longer neck.

Can't tell you much about using it on your bike. But I use it all the time on my kayak and it works great. Even held up the class 4 r rapids

For my application it has worked well. I am a firefighter and use it on Technical Rescue drills. This involves a lot of movement in all weather conditions. The base that this mounts to is probably the weak link if it were to fail. The one I installed seems to very secure and I feel confident that it will hold for normal use. I cannot attest to having the camera impacted by objects since that has not happened to me as of yet. The best answer that I could give is that if the attachment is as secure on my bike helmet as it is on my TRT helmet I would not hesitate to use it and any rides.

I got the motor mount by going to the Sevylor site. It was ~$80.00 and definitely worth it. My motor is 3.5 hp. If you can't find oars on Amazon try Cabella's or Bass Pro Shop online.

This mount works for the remote provided by GoPro with the Hero 3+. I use it on my motorcycle. The only problem is that when the remote is installed in this mount you cannot plug it into a power source to recharge. You have to remove it from the mount to recharge it.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

I put mine on the back of my F-150 and raised it up and it was a little short of the top bed rails, but with a 2 x 4, some deck screws, a few bolts, and a little work I think it would work very well to support one end of your yak. I have no trouble using it to transport my canoe or my "heavy" yak. Hobie ProAngler 14 foot and 120 lbs.

My son owns the GoPro and he said he would probably use the handlebar mount for your application. Hope that helps.

We use it for a 47lb kayak and a 75 lb pirogue. The pirogue shifts a little bit but it has a flat bottom. If it holds the pirogue, i'm guessing it would hold a 2 man kayak but I wouldn't want to use it for really long distances. The hardest part is strapping the kayak to the cart. The buckle on the strap that comes with it broke the first time we used it but you can use ratchet straps to secure it to the cart. The straps need to be tight or else the kayak will shift around/twist and you'll have to stop and re-position and re-strap. Still better than carrying it by far.

I have mine on a party barge so I don't travel that fast very often. But I don't see why not. I had left it up once when pulling it on the trailer at 50 - 55 for about 4 miles without a problem. The best thing to do is check with the manufacture for their recommendations.

I've done a few river runs. I would not take the double down a river, just use it to float on a lake. I would suggest the single for a river run if its a quick flow river.

I'm using this item to attach my gopro in my car and it's very steady and strong. He can use it in motor bikes as well. The video quality that I'm getting, I love it. Goodluck..Fat Gecko Camera and Camcorder Mount

Don't think this particular canoe loader was designed for that much weight. My kayak is 85 lbs, and the bungee cord that holds it on probably is at it's limit. The problem isn't normal driving. Its emergency turns, panic stops stops. I put a ratchet strap at mid point in my pick up and another one on the roof rack.

I mounted it on the handlebars of my Yamaha roadstar to hold my phone. My speedo broke and I use my old phone with a GPS powered droid speedo program. It works great. Only drawback. Phone is easy to steal if you leave your bike unattended.

I have the 7200 and have never used it for rafting, but it mounts fine on a bicycle helmet and does a nice job of making videos.

I believe the weight rating on this hoist is ~500lbs. The straps are long and would easily fit around a 3' wide boat. I think it would work splendidly with your canoe.

Yes. Using mine (CP-DR-862M) for deep trolling Flathead Lake Montana (w/Okuma Convector 45D) for large (10-30 lb.) lake trout and BC offshore (w/Okuma Raw 463) for Chinook. The triangle front grip does fit a little snug in open type rod holders like Atwood Heavy Duty Pro Series. Fine for tube type rod holders off my downriggers. Like the action on the rod enough to buy a CP-DR-762ML for my middle rod on three rod planer spread for Kamloops (10-20 lbs.) on Kootenay Lake BC and Lake Koocanusa BC and Montana. For the price you can't go wrong. These are my go to rods for trolling over much more expensive rods on my boat.

I am using the trailer for a 14 ft. Jon boat and it works well. I think it would be very good for a 12 ft kayak. This is a good piece of equipment. The only thing that concerns me is that the wheels are rather small. I don't feel comfortable traveling over 55mph with this trailer and I try to stay off of interstates.
