Not everybody has a GoPro, but almost everybody has a smartphone. Now, give us something that can put the two to use at the same time and just wait for the million new first person barrel videos that are about to be published on Youtube. That’s the inspiration behind this new camera mount that went up on Kickstarter, almost immediately raising half the funds they need to spark production.
Here’s the simple and straightforward version of the FreeRide. It’s basically a one size fits all carrier for smartphones with the same mount you’d see on a GoPro. Now all those hundreds of dollars you’ve spent on GoPro mounts, poles and cases have a dual use. Bonus points because you can finally use your phone as a mountable touchscreen display on the same mount as your camera.”Everyone’s shooting photos and videos with their smartphone, but no one had the ability to connect them to the GoPro and traditional camera mounts,” says Ryan Klingler, CEO of GoWorx. Well, problem solved. You should have some fun with this one.
