If you've ever tried mounting an action camera to your motorcycle windscreen, you know the frustration. Adhesive mounts leave permanent residue, suction cups fail at highway speeds, and traditional clamps simply don't work on the thin, curved surfaces of modern motorcycle windscreens. Whether you're running a DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, Insta360 Ace Pro 2, or the latest GoPro Hero 13 Black, finding a secure, non-permanent mounting solution has been nearly impossible... until now.
The Problem with Traditional Motorcycle Camera Mounts
Most action camera mounts were designed for handlebars, helmets, or flat surfaces. But motorcycle windscreens present unique challenges:
- Thin substrates: Modern motorcycle windscreens are typically only 2-4mm thick, too thin for standard clamps
- Curved surfaces: The aerodynamic curves that reduce wind buffeting make adhesive mounting unreliable
- Vibration: Highway speeds and engine vibration demand rock-solid stability
- Permanence concerns: Many riders don't want adhesive residue on expensive aftermarket windscreens
Traditional GoPro mounts and DJI action camera mounts rely heavily on 3M adhesive backing, which works great on helmets but creates problems on motorcycle windscreens. Once applied, they're difficult to reposition, and removing them often damages the windscreen's finish.
Introducing the EdgeLock Mount by MotoRadds
The EdgeLock mount solves all these problems with an ingenious clamp design specifically engineered for motorcycle windscreen mounting. This is the mount that motorcycle action camera enthusiasts have been waiting for.
What Makes EdgeLock Different?
No Adhesives Required
The EdgeLock uses a precision clamp mechanism that grips the edge of your motorcycle windscreen, fairing, or even helmet visor. There's no sticky residue, no damaged finish, and no permanent commitment. Install it in seconds, remove it just as quickly.
Universal Action Camera Compatibility
The EdgeLock mount features standard action camera mounting interfaces, making it compatible with:
- GoPro Hero 13 Black, Hero 12 Black, Hero 11 Black, and earlier models
- DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, and Osmo Action 3
- Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Ace Pro, and other Insta360 action cameras
- Any action camera using standard mounting adapters
Whether you're team GoPro, prefer DJI's superior stabilization, or love Insta360's AI editing features, EdgeLock has you covered.
Engineered for Motorcycle Windscreens
Unlike generic clamps, the EdgeLock was purpose-built for the thin edges found on motorcycle windscreens and fairings. The low-profile design doesn't interfere with aerodynamics or your field of view, while the secure grip ensures your motorcycle camera mount stays exactly where you put it even at triple-digit speeds.
Why Motorcycle Windscreen Mounting Is Superior
Mounting your action camera to your motorcycle windscreen offers significant advantages over other mounting locations:
Unobstructed Forward View
Windscreen camera mounts capture the road ahead without handlebars, mirrors, or other bike components in frame. This gives you cinema-quality footage that truly represents the rider's perspective.
Reduced Vibration
Modern motorcycle windscreens are engineered to absorb wind buffeting and vibration. When you mount your GoPro or DJI Osmo Action to the windscreen, you benefit from this natural dampening plus the vibration-dampening silicone pads inside the EdgeLock plates, resulting in smoother footage even without electronic stabilization.
Aerodynamic Positioning
A properly positioned windscreen mount adds virtually no wind resistance compared to helmet-mounted cameras. This means less neck strain on long rides and better fuel efficiency.
Easy Access
Unlike helmet mounts, a windscreen-mounted action camera is easy to reach while riding. Start and stop recording, change modes, or verify your GoPro Hero is actually recording and all without taking your eyes off the road for too long.
Best Practices for Motorcycle Windscreen Camera Mounting
To get the most out of your EdgeLock mount and action camera setup:
1. Position for Optimal Framing
Mount your Insta360 Ace Pro 2 or GoPro slightly off-center on the windscreen edge. This captures both the road ahead and a portion of your motorcycle, adding context and visual interest to your footage. Alternatively, flip the camera facing you for some main character features!
2. Angle Slightly Downward
Point your camera 5-10 degrees below horizontal. This keeps the horizon in frame while capturing more of the road, giving viewers a better sense of speed and lean angle in corners.
3. Consider Your Motorcycle Type
Sport bikes: Mount near the top edge of the windscreen for an aggressive, forward-leaning perspective that matches the riding position.
Adventure bikes: Side-edge mounting on tall ADV windscreens provides excellent visibility while keeping the camera protected from trail debris.
Touring bikes: Large touring windscreens offer multiple mounting options. Try upper-corner positioning for scenic rides or lower-edge mounting for a more immersive feel.
4. Secure Your Camera Tether
Even with the EdgeLock's bomber-proof grip, always use a safety tether on your DJI action camera or GoPro. A simple lanyard attached to your windscreen bracket provides peace of mind at any speed.
