I'm going on a 10 day bike trip, looking for a mount which allows easy removal of MotoX for photos (while riding) and then easily replace. Is this it?

If your unit fits on this holder, it'll work ideally. Spring loaded adjustable feet on the bottom of this holder adjust to hold ipods, cameras, etc., and an elastic strap across the face is an extra bit of security.

There is a GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount that might be better. We used that one on a motorcycle ride and it worked great and it wasn't behind a windscreen.

Hi Salvatore, thanks for the question. I recommend getting a proper handlebar mount for the gopro. The gorilla pod cannot grab the handlebar or bike part securely enough.

The mount has a Velcro strap. You can attach it to the bike in one of the bottle cage areas or use the zip ties that come with it to mount it anywhere on the bike.

It's magnetic, so you put it on, take the photo and then take it off. It isn't permanently attachedI do not know if it would work with the Moto X...if it is metal on the back, most likely, yes. I use it with my nokia 925 (windows).

Because I have to often stow the camera away, I chose to use a "coaster" type of GPS holder. It's a weighted disk that sits on the dashboard and can take a suction cup type pf GPS mount. Since I could not find a camera tripod mount socket that would work properly for the camera, I cobbled a mount by taking a camera mount and expoxing it to the coaster. used a PVC pipe fitting to make it work. Took a bit of work but it is study, stable, and easy to stow out of sight.

The tripod has a fairlly standard "quick disconnect" shoe that fits in the quick disconnect head on the tripod. The shoe has a 1/4-20 standard camera screw. So connect the shoe to the device you want to mount then just snap it into the tripod head....fast and easy. If you have multiple devices you can get multiple shoe (my discription/term) for not much and just flip one lever on the tripod and they change out very fast.

Take it off between uses. Suction does not last forever so you wouldn't want to lose it. This bike mount rocks!!! Takes only a few seconds to install and half that to take off. Comes with spare arts as well

Mounting is pretty easy. They give you a couple of different straps. The rubber protective sleeve keeps the battery from shifting. I mount it in multiple locations depending on what else I'm riding with. No problems. As far as I know the 1000 uses the same charging cable as the 810/510 so you should be good to go.

The LaRue quick-release mounts are well worth it. I can switch back and forth from my T-1 to my Nikon M223 in about 10 seconds and both hold their 'zero'.

The quick release mechanism on both the frame mount, and the optional Topeak saddle bag would make theft relatively easy. I imagine with some inginuity, you could replace the frame mount quick releast with a bolt. You may be able to add a lock to the saddle quick release. But, depending on the area, I would recommend taking the saddle back with you and avoid the tempatation of a likely burgler.

Check youtube, there is a video where the guy actually uses velcro to attach the hood which makes it easily removable. He tossed the mount that would attach to the tripod threads

I need a new mount for this camera, does anyone have a replacement for this?

It has no quick release but the tripod screw itself has a fold out tab so that you can remove it without a tool. I looked at the BlackRapid too but didn't like the thought of a bulky carabiner flopping around the camera.

It comes with a good handlebar mount and I recommend it 100%. It's a very good product.

I have a headband and its kind of a pain to start stop and take pictures between videos. So I would go with a chest harness mount or rig something up on one of your backpack straps

I have never tried this, but if you remove the top knob, there is a threaded screw which appears to be exactly like the one on my unipod for mounting the camera. So I would say, yes, with the knob removed you will find the mounting screw. But the unipod (for the camera) might still be a bit more stable. K. Shields
