GoPro / Blendr compatible mount for Columbus V-900 GPS datalogger

cults3d

The Columbus V-900 (see note below) has been my go-to GPS datalogger for tracking bike rides when I didn't want to run a proper bike computer in the past. Normally, I have it in a pocket but I wanted to have a holder so I could attach it to my handlebars. This thing is a handy holder for the V-900 GPS which might also fit the newer V-990 GPS datalogger. It's compatible with the GoPro mount or the Bontrager Blendr mount. The tab in the front fits snugly into the USB port and locks securely into place. The hole in the back next to the mount is provision for a tether if you think it's necessary. (you can see I used yo-yo string for my testing in the photos) I ran this on my trail bike and hit the rockiest trails I could find as fast as I could, and the tether wasn't necessary. Ultimately, the V-900 has some drawbacks. You'd think a dedicated GPS datalogger would outperform a phone GPS, but on the test ride the V-900 drifted across a creek, where the phone stayed right on track following my path. So, don't go out and buy a V-900 unless you already have one. Note: The GoPro compatible mount on my handlebar is another thing I'll be sharing soon, and it's actually very useful.
