It's a GoPro HERO 11 Black and it didn't come with a mount that will attach to the screw hole in the Bronco. What can I order on Amazon to mount it?

1/4 20 screw threads into the hole in the dash.

Itā€™s a standard 1/4ā€-20 mount.

Which I realize if you are not familiar with photography/cameras is probably meaningless. But search for ā€œ1/4ā€-20 GoPro adapterā€ and a bunch of options should pop up.

No I'm just pretending to be stupid for your entertainment. I hope you like it.
I think the term is called method acting.

A simple 1/4"-20 conversion adapter, from Best Buy or Amazon will help you out.

I bought this nice quick disconnect to go with mine. Works well. You would still need an extra 1/4ā€ adapter

Thatā€™s sort of strange it didnā€™t come with anything. I got an off brand with a bunch of different adapters

Thread it into the hole in the dash, tighten the knurled nut, and then use the standard GoPro interlocking joint. Simple and easy. I donā€™t know what kind of gymnastics you have to do to get some of those other mounts to work that people postedā€¦

[Edit: I should add that I used a little wing nut instead of the nut that comes with it, so I could tighten the GoPro screw/handle without a wrench...]

Yeah that looks good. Thatā€™s all they need. I had various adaptors that came with mine, but it was still trial and error.

I'm still using a Hero 3, which doesn't have a threaded hole in the camera. Maybe the newer ones do? Which would open up more options, I guess.

But still, you need a way to tighten the mount independently of the threads, so you can point the camera any direction and then tighten it. Some of those two-way 1/4-20 adapters would just tighten wherever they fall, and the only way to lock the camera in a certain position would be to play around with different washers or shims or something until it ends up in the direction you want...
