Am I following you correctly that this will fit the older VIRB? I looks a lot like the one I’m returning. I called Garmin and they said the newer ones had a “universal Go Pro type mount”, but the older ones were proprietary and thus were hard to find mounts for. Will this fit that mount?
what you link to, i have that mount on my desk right now. with a virb xe attached.
Which link are you referring to?
the amazon one in your initial post.
I believe the Virb XE uses the newer GoPro style mount, unlike my older Elite.
what you see here says VIRB XE on the camera. in red letters. the mount looks to me like what you’re linking to on amazon. the mount itself says garmin on it.

Correct, but you are using a VIRB XE and I am using a VIRB Elite which has a different mount.
My buddy went through his drawer and had a ton of random stuff. Do you know which one of these was supposed to come with the VIRB?
All of it is virb specific. The two round knobs is the Virb-specific interface the other side is for other things.
From top to bottom (I think…)
GoPro mount. This is the main one you need, along with a clamping screw.low profile GoPro mount? Not as secure perhaps, might need if space is tight?goes with number 8same as 2clamping screw for 1,2,3,4screwscrewsurface mount. There is a sticky pad underneath. Could stick to a surfboard, helmet. If you try that, also attach a lanyard. goes with 3

I’ve never used anything except 1. Works well.
Is what I circled what I need then? Number one, two just in case it is tight, and five to clamp it all?
The oldest Virbs have an adapter that makes them slot into gopro triple-O mounts.

It would be nice to be able to have a mount like that to fit the Virb Elite directly to avoid having an extra connection between the camera and mount. My gopro/virb adapter stripped out from using it at a crit with very rough pavement.
