Xrec mounting arm 20 cm Faceview for GoPro Hero (compatible with HERO4/3+/3/2/1 and SJCam)

The Xrec mounting arm 20 cm Faceview for GoPro Hero is an extendable camera accessory designed to position action cameras at a fixed 20 cm offset for frontal or angled shots. Compatible with earlier GoPro Hero models and SJCam cameras, this mounting arm provides additional reach and a stable attachment point to improve framing for vlogs, POV footage and compact handheld setups. Built for outdoor use, the Faceview arm lets users place the camera farther from the body to capture wider scenes and better face visibility without modifying the camera housing.

Advantages

The Faceview arm increases the distance between camera and subject, enabling improved framing for selfies, interviews and action footage. Its 20 cm length offers a predictable offset that helps reduce distortion when shooting close to the face and provides room for varied camera angles. The mount is compatible with multiple action camera housings used on older GoPro Hero series and SJCam models, making it a flexible choice for users who need a simple extension without electronic connections. The design emphasizes straightforward attachment and handheld convenience.

Suitable for

• Vlogging and selfie-style recordings where better face framing is required
• Point-of-view (POV) shots in cycling, hiking and other outdoor activities
• Handheld recording during travel and adventures
• Sports and action footage that benefit from a slight offset from the body

How to use

Attach the camera housing to the Faceview arm’s GoPro-style mount and secure using the included thumb screw or quick-release clip compatible with your housing. Adjust the camera angle by loosening the joint, positioning the camera to the desired frontal or angled view, then retightening to lock the position. Hold the arm by the base or attach it to other compatible mounting points to achieve stable handheld shots and extend the camera forward about 20 cm from the operator’s position.

Usage recommendations

Check that the camera housing is fully seated in the mount and that all screws or clips are tightened before use. For active sports, combine the Faceview arm with a reliable wrist or chest strap or use additional mounting brackets to prevent loss. Clean the mount and connection points after exposure to water, sand or dirt to maintain secure attachment and smooth operation.
