is it strong enough to attach a go-pro to it?

A go-pro is much too heavy for it, I use a Key Chain camera (http://amzn.com/B00849KQD0) on it. After removing the chain just affix it to the top with some electrical tape. Picture quality is roughly the equivalent to an old cell phone camera but it works and the microphone picks up well (you can hear background conversations while flying over the blades). There is a clear 20% drop in maneuverability with the extra weight so definitely get used to flying it before using a camera.

I've never actually held a go-pro to know really how heavy it is, but I'd say almost definitely NO.. Although this thing is nimble and quick on it's own, and great fun to fly, it is that way only because it's so light. The motors are so small, that I'd say it's scaled only to lift itself. Even if you could get it to lift the weight, there's no way you'd get it balanced well enough to do so... Remember, this thing is small. To me, this thing is so good because it's so light it doesn't even have the inertia enough to hurt itself when it crashes.

It's designed to fit GoPro mounts, but theoretically yes, you could just bolt it to stuff if you really want to go that route; not sure if it would be 1. Stable 2. Safe 3. Secure when directly mounting it like that, and you would run into geometric issues with the shape of the contour and how small this adapter actually is.

I would say no. It's engineered to hold a go pro which is very small. I wouldn't assume it would hold a large camera

yea... but this is a piece very big for using to the go pro camera..... if you going to use with the extensible arm, this will be very very heavy

I would say that it is strong enough. It's made entirely of metal, which was the reason I chose it, and the bracket works like a vise to grip your phone. There is a V-shaped groove in the top and bottom that hold the phone securely, particularly if you have it in a "gel" type case that has some give. You should be aware, though, that the adapter has only a threaded hole on the bottom for attaching to a tripod. Any other use you would want to put it to would need to adapt from that.

yup. that's what I have. but it may be a bit big for the brand new mini Go Pro that just came out...

Yes you can mount a go pro. That said it only can be used to steady the Pro or as an extention. It's not on of those sticks that you hold out away from your self and do a video selfie while skiing down a hill. It will not flex or angle in any way. I hope this helps. Good at what it does and takes lots of abuse. Had this over two years now. Still works great.

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

I used it for a go pro and a point and shoot Nikon my guess is it will be ok as long as you dont go nutty with the bigger interchangeable lenses its pretty sturdy

As long as the go pro has the proper threading n the base of it for the screw on the adapter to screw up on the camera.....but ive been through 2 of these and thier garbage

It certainly will do it. I had no problems at all holding my gopro ina secure way.

I would use something stronger for your DSLR for sure. This thing is great for a lightweight Go Pro, but I wouldn't put anything heavy or expensive on it. In theory it would work though.

Yes, just make sure it is secured, I have used this tripod to support my Canon power shoot, and Canon T5i and couple of my Canon film cameras with no issues.

I use it for a gopro hero3, I wouldn't recommend anything much heavier than that.

Yes. The combined weight of your setup is about 2.5 lbs, and this tripod can hold up much more than that.

It won't work unless you have the tripod connection (its a separate piece that you can buy from go-pro).

No It cannot. It might can hold when it is in shortest mode but when you extend it to the full length it is a little hard to hold even with a go pro. I think it is just good for smaller gun and shoot cameras.
