Overview

The Neewer 10072124 is a tripod mount adapter that bridges the proprietary GoPro thumb-screw mounting system to the universal ¼"-20 tripod thread standard. That single translation unlocks a significant creative resource: every tripod, ballhead, gorillapod, monopod, and light stand already in a shooter's bag becomes compatible with their GoPro or action camera. For photographers who want to incorporate wide-angle GoPro footage into a project — time-lapses, behind-the-scenes coverage, low-height perspective shots — this adapter eliminates the need for a parallel GoPro-specific rig. The compatibility list is broad, covering GoPro Hero 1 through 5, Session variants, and a wide range of third-party action cameras that use the same mounting interface standard.

The adapter is small enough to live permanently in a camera bag without claiming meaningful space or weight. In practice, it excels in controlled setups — studio time-lapses, interview B-roll from a fixed angle, or locked-off wide shots on a sturdy tripod. It is less suited to high-vibration environments or configurations where the camera is loaded with heavy housing accessories that increase leverage on the mount point. Build quality is functional for an accessory at this price tier; the ¼"-20 thread is standard hardware and holds reliably under the light load an action camera represents. For photographers who want to put a GoPro exactly where their existing tripod goes, this adapter solves the problem cleanly and without compromise.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Universal ¼"-20 thread makes this adapter compatible with virtually every tripod, monopod, and ballhead already in a photographer's kit — no dedicated GoPro rig required
  • Compact and lightweight, adding negligible bulk or weight to a bag packed for a full shoot day
  • Enables the full range of standard tripod head movements — tilt, pan, and rotation — without modification or secondary adapters
  • Broad action camera compatibility extends usefulness beyond GoPro to SJ-series, AKASO, and other popular action cam ecosystems

👎 Cons

  • No locking mechanism beyond the thumb screw interface — on a GoPro-style mount, vibration from wind or camera operation can gradually loosen the connection over a long session
  • The plastic construction of most units at this price point will not survive a significant drop onto hard surfaces with the camera attached
  • Provides no articulation of its own — camera angle is fixed to whatever your tripod head allows, so low-angle or overhead compositions require repositioning the entire tripod
  • Not rated for cameras heavier than a standard action cam — attaching a GoPro with a large housing and accessories pushes the practical load limit of the mount

Frequently Asked Questions

The Neewer adapter uses the universal ¼"-20 tripod screw thread — the same standard found on virtually every consumer and prosumer tripod, ballhead, and light stand on the market. If your tripod has a standard mounting screw, this adapter will attach to it.
It's designed to work with GoPro Hero Session, Hero 5 Session, and Hero 1 through 5, as well as SJ4000, SJ5000, SJ6000, and a wide range of third-party action cameras including DBPOWER, AKASO, VicTsing, APEMAN, WiMiUS, Rollei, QUMOX, Lightdow, and Campark. The adapter interfaces with the standard GoPro-style thumb screw mounting system.
Yes — because it mounts via the standard ¼"-20 thread, it's compatible with fluid head tripods. The adapter itself doesn't affect the fluid head's movement, so you can achieve smooth horizontal and vertical panning with whatever tripod head you pair it with.
For a lightweight action camera like the GoPro Hero series (typically 74–160g depending on model and housing), the adapter provides adequate rigidity. It is not designed for heavy mirrorless or DSLR bodies — its load rating is appropriate for action cameras only.
