If I only could have one accessory... And the magnet works fine, too

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022

This is my first choice for GoPro accessories. The rubber teeth and strong spring allow me to clip my camera just about anywhere, and it will stay where I put it. I can clip it to my belt, my shirt pocket, the strap of my backpack or messenger bag, or the brim of my hat (either facing upward or hanging down). It also does a great job as a mini-tripod.

The base has a strong magnet to hold this to any STATIONARY piece of metal, and my camera isn't going anywhere. I can even put it on the roof or door of a slow-moving car, and it will stay in place. What it won't do is keep your camera attached securely to the hood of a jeep that you're taking off-road.

(If I did want to attach my camera to the hood/roof of a fast-moving car then I would use Adhesive Mounts for GoPro Cameras.)

Finally, the battery door shown in the accompanying picture was included with my FitStill Silicone Sleeve Case.

No es magnético

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2022

No por que tenga un iman, deberían llamarlo magnético, la fuerza del iman es tan débil que estorba, solo aumenta el peso del clip, no sirve para nada, ni siquiera la superficie magnética es plana, la superficie magnética es curva, hace más difícil que se pegue a las superficies metálicas, superficies planas en su mayoría, compre este clip por magnético, por que ya tengo otros normales y ahora solo tengo un clip más, no es lo que esperaba

This is the one accessory to have if you can only have one.

Extremely versatile, super strong clip and attach in so many different places, that if I could only bring one GoPro accessory along, this is the one to take. Great for a backpack strap.

Very reliable clip... durable and surely premium in its nature... unlike the ones we've always seen on the market

Easily converts my GoPro into a dash cam. When not using the clamp it holds the camera upright on any flat surface. I like things that are versatile.

Great clip, mediocre magnet

The magnet won't hold on anything that moves, but the clip is pretty good.

My clip of choice

I’ve purchased other clips that do the some of the job for less, but this does more and is worth the price for the extras (to me). The fast clip means I can quickly move it from this clip to a selfie stick or a helmet mount. The magnetic action is useful for when there is something metal around, and the swivel is easy to move but doesn’t slip. So far, so good!

Best of the Rest

I have purchased and used many different clips and straps to fix my GoPro to my backpack strap for trips. I have a velcro strap that goes over a backpack strap, a generic clip, and the official GoPro clip. This is the best of them all.

Pros:
- From the first image, you can see that this is the smallest of all the clips that I have, which I like since it doesn't get in the way as much when you are taking off and putting on the backpack
- When you rotate the clip (not even an option on the velcro strap), it doesn't change the form factor much, unlike the other clip
- I wrote a review for the Sametop clip and one of the big issues for me was how the spring is located so far back, which means very little leverage for opening the clip. You can see that the GoPro clip gives you a little more leverage which makes opening and closing (i.e. attaching and removing) much easier.
- Finally, another gripe I had with the Sametop was that the teeth are sharp plastic, and after putting it on and taking it off multiple times, it actually started to rip the threads on my backpack strap. The GoPro teeth are rubber, which means that this will not be a problem.
- Also, if you are considering the Sametop, the GoPro clip is way easier to swivel, which makes it easier to adjust while it's on your bag.

Cons:
- No real cons come to mind, but if I'm nitpicking, I don't care for having the magnet on the back. I get a little nervous any time my gear (which will come into contact with thousands of dollars worth of camera gear and electronics) has magnets.

Conclusion:
I have used these straps and clips to affix my GoPro to my backpack for vacation videos, and until now, they have always left something to be desired. I'm glad that GoPro made an official version, and in my opinion, they did it right. No compromises here, and I am excited to use this clip. If you are looking for something to clip your GoPro to your bag, this is it, no need to look elsewhere.
