If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." Van added "over the head", but he is forgiven. Not sure many of these young cats got the quote. Hey you, less than 30, go watch "SNATCH"".

    Interesting… I hate the GoPro mount since it is not the same as a regular camera… but my GoPro does not flip flat like yours does. Must be a new feature? (I have a hero 5, so a bit older). But definitely cool to see how and more importantly WHY you build the mounts that you build. 👍

    A great little insightful story, as always Van. Thank you for making these.
    I just want to voice a safety concern I'm personally having with hard and especially heavy objects when transported loosely in the car. Even worse in the height of the passengers heads.
    In case of a collision these objects easily can become projectiles that can seriously hurt or kill people inside and even outside of the car.
    Just food for thought, you do you of course ✌️

    Love the solve for the weight, but it might be worth double checking the package…CA banned the use/sale of lead fishing weights in 2019 as other states have too. Anymore, what you find at the tackle shops is actually tin. Low cost/low melt points. Looking at how shiny it ended up, might be worth an extra look (and peace of mind).
