I couldn't get my GoPro housing screw to tighten down enough to keep it in place with the Ram ball mount so I went ahead and epoxied them together. I bought another housing for the camera so if I want to use it with a tripod, clamp, etc. I can take the camera out of one housing and put in another. Other than that, no problem with vibration, etc.

I love the RickRak mount it is extremely stable with no vibration. As I said IMHO I think the chances of damage by taking a rock to the lens is minimal but for a trip to AK I may elect to spend a few buck for the GOPro waterproof case just to give you extra protection. The cost is not that much and probably worth the peace of mind on a great trip like that

I used a hero 5 mounted to my handlebars up by the clutch lever on my heritage during a 2000 mile trip through yellow stone and the black hills. Worked great and didn't have any issues with it. I think I used a cheapy $10-$15 mount. Video came out clear and captured the guy in a Ford Expedition crossing the center line on a curve on the Bear Tooth Pass and almost taking me out.
