How easy/difficult is it to remove the adhesive anchors from what you are tethering your camera to? Do they damage what they are attached to?

And no I have never had one leave any damage. I have only removed them from helmets and kayaks.

I typically do not have a heat gun with me when I'm using these things, so I assume they're one-time/object use and figure I lose it. I also figure I'd rather keep spending on these than another $400 camera. That all being said, I believe the heat gun does work, but I've never tried it.

I have not had a reason to remove them yet. The adhesive seems to be a lot like double sided tape so if you heat it with a hairdryer and carefully peel it off you should be ok. A little goo-off should clean up any residue left behind.

My opinion is: If they came off easily it would completely negate the purpose of having them in the first place. Don't put it on something you don't want it to be on premanatly.

most often the adhesive will not damage plastic or painted surfaces, in good condition. however, the best way to remove it, is to use a razor blade of exacto knife and carefully cut through the middle of the adhesive. then use goo gone or other similar adhesive remover to get the two pieces off of the mounting base and the surface it was mounted to. the goo gone, will not harm most surfaces, but read the directions for limitations on surfaces, not to use it on. hopes this helps

It's very easy. Use a blow dryer to heat up the mount, focusing on the corners. Then run some dental floss or fishing line under the mount useing a sawing motion. Dental floss seems too work best in my opinion, I think it may have to do with the wax. Search "removing gopro adhesive mount" on YouTube, there are some very good videos demonstrating this technique.

I used mine for the first time yesterday and mine broke off as I was putting it on to my camera. It looked like it had been tampered with. To know that yours has broken off too makes me feel they are selling used or faulty equipment.

It goes on very tight, you clip it in and then screw it down. It never snagged or broke off for me and i'm pretty rough on my camera. It definitely wouldn't come off without you noticing.

Its really secure, it is attached with a 3M backing that if applied correctly to almost any surface would be very hard to remove. The mount is easy to use, just attach using the camera bracket and tighten.

There's a clip that screws into the bottom of your camera (assuming your camera has a tripod mount). You can unscrew the clip or use the quick release button to just detach the tripod itself.

To remove any gopro mounts you just have to heat them up with a hair dryer and pry them up. The surfboard mounts have a lot of surface area though, so it could take a while. Plus the mount is useless after that. But yes, you will be able to get it off.

I didn't remove it, i have question that myself though. In the video on kumbacam site the leave it on. I've been using it with no problems.

Yes they are detachable though the ring around the camera stays on once you attach it. im sure it can be removed but it uses magnets.

Mine did not come with a tether. As answered, the stock tether with the camera is light but quite strong. For my motorcycle, as long as the fall distance is short, the stock tether is OK. When a "higher risk" camera environment, I use some braided high strength fishing line and zip ties for attachment. Too the credit of the Contour mounts, I've not had any problems with them so far (purchased Oct 2014) and have managed to push them a little bit :0

Before connecting it, you have to unscrew the actual cameras' lens ring; it's easy

You can't remove it, but don't worry it is spring-loaded and recesses back into the TV if you don't want to look at / use it. You just push it back into the frame of the TV. I agree, I got this TV about 2 months ago and haven't used the camera once, it stays away.

You wouldn't want to do that, even if you could. The camera is very exposed that way and it would be impossible to get your camera out quickly. To unhitch your camera from the patented slot, you have to twist the camera on its bracket axis ... then lift it up. You could not do this if it was on your back.

You can remove it by heating the LCD (apply heat very slowly) with a hair dryer. Don't get it too hot, too quickly. The Giottos glue will loosen, so you can VERY carefully slightly lift around all sides to free it. Don't pry it from one end it will crack. Go slow and use care and you should be able to remove without breaking. (I would probably leave it on and get a new one if your replacing your camera.

Sounds clever. How would you attach it after you took it apart. Glue it to the camera?

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife

The best that I can say is to pull it off very slowly. You can use your fingers to gently pry the adhesive away from the device. It may seem like you may break the case, device, or both, but if you go slowly, it will come off.

I doubt it can be removed, but I haven't tried. I use it for a spotting scope and not a camera. It is stable and works for me.
