Its not a real GoPro product. Return it, head to a local electronic retailer and buy it from there. Disgusts me to keep seeing counterfeits not clearly labeled online anymore .

It should stay upright. So simple it is hard to troubleshoot by Amazon text. Make sure the mounting fins are lined up correctly. If the GoPro is firm, but it shakes loose by jarring motions there is a small locking doodad piece that you use. It comes with the GoPro. Usually white color with a round ring shape. Google it and you will see. You add this piece to the mounting to lock the GoPro in place. Maybe google GoPro mounting locking piece or something like that and you can see what it looks like. You can see it on YouTube also

My grandson is currently unable to use his. The camera is a GearPro and the screw included does not fit. This sounds like a different issue than what is described.

I had to rig mine. But I was able to remove the screw and mount it came with. used a dremil and a thick piece of plastic and make a mount for my gopro. A totally easier way, is to just zip tie it, or wire tie it to your helmet through some existing holes in the helmet.

The standard attachments I have only allow adjustments up/down left/right but that can be done with wrist anyway. Check w/GoPro only 360 pivot attachments.

Just got my gopro and have tried to insert this card. Goes in fine, but will not lock into place. Locks into SD adapter fine, though. Could be camera - will need to check out further.

Look at the attachment accessories for gopro. This has the same connection.

It looks to me like an Allen key will be needed. I did not have the correct size handy, and I have not had a chance to actually use the mask yet. I'm going to find the correct key and keep it with my GoPro kit.

there are two small allen screws on the top of the frame on each side of the camera. loosen them slightly and adjust the angle- then retighten

I think you have the camera upside down. there are two different screws on the camera itself.the camera has to have the shield up so that when it rains it bounces off there's a screw on top

The strap is on the camera not the case. It's a standard camera strap, not quick release.

It is a clumsy situation. As a right hander, I loop the strap on my left shoulder - - the camera rests from the crotch area to the right hip. To use the camera, slide the the separate single-point "camera strap" up the shoulder strap to raise the camera to eye level. However, the "camera strap" is only about 1.5" long and when you bring the camera to your eye to view through a viewfinder, the "shoulder strap" will rub your face. It doesn't effect use, but it feels awkward.

The threaded metal part mounted to the case MUST rotate to secure it to the camera. If it doesn't , the case is defective. Force it. You have nothing to lose. Good luck.

I have the same camera, and mine works perfectly, so maybe it is not tight enough, or just defective

Why is one camera upside down and one upside right in the photo? Has the seller confirmed is this can be used with a GproHD and Gopro2? I do not have two of the same cameras. Thanks

If you tighten down the screw with an Alan key (any hardware store/scuba guide should have one handy) then it should keep the camera pointed straight. If all you did was finger tighten then it'll probably slip.

I don't recall it being an issue. I think I just squeezed the small loop at the end together to get it through the bar, then slipped the strap through the small loop like you'd put on a luggage tag. I guess if it's really an issue, you can take it to a local camera store, and I'm sure they'd help you.

Hi.. Well I had to take my camera out of moth balls to look at it.. Your right I guess they figured you wouldn't use the camera that much anyway.I have No Clue how to attach it.This is the Worst camera Ive ever owned.. Its only good for "Portrait" shots.. Which I don't do too much. You should call Sony customer service ay (866)766-9272 they can probably tell you how to attach the strap to camera...Good Luck
