I think its a good idea. I also think there is missing some point to fix the leash. But I think, the idea putting the leash between the legs, should be also good enough as long as breaking the metal screw is equally hard as breaking the hinges. Anyway you got 2 thumbs up from me. We may find later some cooperation with you kiting and my floating tripod
Interesting floating tripod for kitesurfing or windsurfing. Maybe the color of the legs should be different than orange as that you seen them too clearly on the footage
I feed a small cable tie through the flat hole at the bottom of the 2 legs next to the camera body. You gently pull the cable tie through with pliers. Now you have a loop to attach a cord. Seems to also work. Cheers Rod.
One other solution, use 50lb braided fishing line (Braid, not mono or poly). It's thin enough to go through that hole on the bottom of the fingers, and will handle a lot of abuse.
Unfortunately I wouldn't trust a tether attached to the bottom mount, because some people have had the camera snap off the mount itself. I don't know if the screws come loose or if they all snap off, but people have lost the camera and been left with just the mount still attached.
bloody gopro want us to lose our cameras . they probably sack anyone in the company who suggest . "hey boss lets put a tethering loop/hook on the gopro" "piss of you're Fired "

You sir, are a mad scientist, and we thank you for that!

Worked great! I used a pair of needle nose pliers to flatten it which worked great
Great tip but securing it to something other than the mount might be better since the mount may fail. 👍
Thank you for the tips, helps out quite a bit.
Thank you. Excellent video and presentation. Greetings from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
Thanks
Works on the Hero 10 as well.
Great video 📹 Mike thank you! You got a new subscriber!
Okay but how do you take the camera off if it’s tied up and stuck on the helmet????
Put camera through loop again

yeah this idea is stupid
