Versa Mount Says:
The Hand Mount is a unique design that can be worn on either your right or left hand or anywhere else that you can think to strap it onto. The adjustable Velcro straps allow enough adjustability for it to be worn over any size hand. Wear it over your winter gloves or tighten it up and wear it on your bare hand. Then head out and get some sick footage of all your favorite action sports. Film yourself then simply swivel the camera around to film your friends. Now with Versa Mount you aren’t stuck with that one boring camera angle. The possibilities are endless!

Of all the ways to score a good kiteboarding selfie, this Hand Mount has got to be the easiest. The Hand Mount is a plastic platform contoured to the shape of your wrist with a swivel GoPro mount on top, comfortable foam underneath and velcro straps to attach it firmly to your hand. The GoPro mount swivels unrestricted in any direction with clickable positions so it’s guaranteed to stay pointing in the desired direction.

One of the biggest selling points on this mount is ease of use. You could always use a selfie stick, or a line mount, but the selfie stick requires kiting with one hand and the line mount takes a little finagling to setup on the beach. The Hand Mount is perfect for all level of riders because you strap it on in a matter of seconds and it leaves both hands completely free to control your kite. The swivel allows you to change the angle in small increments to get different angles of yourself, or turn it 180 degrees and get shots of your friends. We recommend becoming familiar with the wide/narrow frame of view settings on your GoPro. Choose the wide setting for selfies and the narrow setting for filming friends. The only downside of the Hand Mount is that at an arm’s length away the GoPro won’t capture your whole body and the board, but nonetheless, the ease of use makes this a great accessory for kiteboarders of all levels.
For best results, play around with the wide/narrow settings on your GoPro and we also recommend holding your arm out as straight as possible to get the GoPro as far away from your body as possible to get the most inclusive selfie.
