Not for for purpose and actually dangerous!
** it seems that Amazon may have already stopped selling the inferior model I originally purchased and that this review is about, it came with a Wahoo mount and an elastic band mount for generic lights. This item is the BestTek one I bought second time around and I'd recommend, be wary though as to which one you order.**This is a terrible product. Please spend the extra £4 and buy one of the others like the Best Tek one. The images look the same but please be assured the products are worlds apart.I can forgive the rough casting of the main aluminium bracket, I can also overcome the fact that the GoPro mount is to widely spaced so that when you tighten the bolts the plates don't clamp the camera tight so it flops around, apply an extra bit of torque to the bolt and it strips the thread and just spins, this can be over come with a nut, but even then you have to pack between the fins with washers to clamp it tight.I can also get over the fact that the Garmin mount is extremely tight and difficult to turn the computer in, so much so the bracket flexes and it all feels like it's going to break, but what do you expect for £6.50?The main dangerous aspect of this mount, is the fact that the spacer tubes that slide over the long replacement stem face plate bolts are soft plastic. Most stems require you to tighten all 4 face plate bolts evenly to 4 or 5Nm. It is impossible to achieve this torque as approx 3Nm of torque starts to crush the spacers and pull them into the bracket. I actually tightened then as much as I could took it for a test ride and the bars dropped and spun as I rode because the bars can not be clamped tight enough.It is impossible to safely install this bracket with the supplied spacers as the required torque is too much for the plastic. The Best Tek mount comes with aluminium tube spacers and took the required torque with no trouble.I would actually call on Amazon to withdraw this version from sale.

Great design and solid build
I have a specialized triscross cyclocross bike which I use for work and winter training. With the additional brake levers and lights for commuting I was restricted for space to mount my Garmin 820. This works absolutely perfectly with this mount. I am yet to use the go-pro mount properly but have mounted it for a trial and it fits well.

Great product when they come with metal spacers
Bought many of these and returned all but 3 because most come with plastic/nylon spacers and can't really be torqued. These are handlebar bolts so you want the fitting strong and sturdy. The 3 I received that did come with metal spacers were sold by SYtradingLtd - Not to say others don't sell the metal variants

Cheap but good
Bought this to hold my Garmin and allow my GoPro to be visible to all the cars that pull out on me.Fits easily, replacing your bolts.Garmin locks in secure, not fallen out yet and I hop the bike a lot.GoPro bolt is very tight, takes a lot of screwing in and is a little close to the mount, so can be hard to release with gloves on. Hence 4*, but maybe a decent feature to stop it being easily pilfered

Didn't work for me
Firstly, the positives. It feels solid. The quarter turn mount is effective. And it looks pretty good.Negatives. It didn't fit my go pro holder, I had the file down the mount prongs, which broke two cutting discs, in order to fit it in. Then when I tried to fit it to my bike I couldn't. The screws weren't long enough to use the spacers included, and if I didn't use them I couldn't tighten the stem sufficiently. I found some washers that I bodged to fit, but when I could tighten the screws they were too slim for the stem.It's a shame this wasn't of any use for me as it seems like a great product.

won’t fit stem with 7mm stem fixings ( ones supplied are 4mm)
Came recommended and came with metal and not plastic spacers. So far so good although once all put together discovered that the cap head screws are 4mm and therefore too small for my stem which has 7mm fixings. Also, wouldn’t be able to fit those through the space at the front of the mount without having to faff about with a file etc. Not worth the hassle.

Not fit for purpose
Its cheap, and there lies the problem. My £300 plus Garmin fell off the out front mount after only ten rides. On closer inspection I found the piece of plastic in the mount has broken so the Garmin just kept coming loose and falling off. Went and brought a much superior item (which cost three times more) which came with all new bolts and washers. It's been on my bike for twenty months with no issues. Buy cheap, buy twice.
