If you're talking about the clamp I used to mount the GoPro to the lowest part of the handlepost, it is a Manfrotto Super Clamp. I bought it at a local camera store. It is very well made, with all alloy and brass construction except for the handle you use to tighten it, which is plastic.

I was wondering about the one in the picture with the GoPro and the Midland, but I was interested in this one, too.

The handlebar mount that the Midland is attached to is a Pedco UltraClamp. I've been using that ever since I started making ride videos last year. It's a very versatile clamp and very adjustable.

great video! Gotta say I'm jealous of those bike lanes on that climbing!! Also jealous of the climbing. We have hills here, but they are very short and very steep. I would love to have that kind of long climbing available. It's difficult to get good at hills when they last only 30 seconds or less.
Great footage. How did you like the performance of the BF?Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Thank you.
I feel safer riding here than in the rural areas of El Dorado County, where I have had two motorist harassment incidents (both caught on video), and the encounter with the military impostor last month. People act civilized and drivers leave cyclists alone in El Dorado Hills, at least so far.
I love the quality of the pavement and the bike lanes too. This is a very popular cycling spot because of the challenging climbs. The best part is that I can get to it by light rail. I am car free now, so all my mountain trips in the summer will be by rental car like they were this year when I still owned a vehicle but wanted the peace of mind of driving a new vehicle.
I love how the Bike Friday climbs. I believe it's pretty close to my road bike performance-wise, although the road bike's lower handlebars are better for descending.
