I want to connect my Gopro to my kite, but all the youtube clips I seen have kites that the strut comes away from the main part of the kite. Mine is a Liquid Force Envy 2015 and it is connected. How can I attach my Gopro to my kite?

use a hot knife and cut 2 holes in your canopy each side of the strut... works a treat...

Get yourself a GoPro wrist mount. They strap onto the struts pretty well and give a good shot.

I've got one, bit there's no gap between the strut and the canopy.

Have you checked right up where the centre strut meets the leading edge?
Most kites have a gap here where a wrist mount can fit.
Just a hint, if you are going to use a floaty back door, you will need the extended mount so it folds back far enough to get the shot angle.

Go to the local fruit and veg store
Buy the biggest sweet potato you can find
Stop in at the chemist
Grab some ky
Go home
Lube up sweet potato
Squat in front yard in view of neighbours
Shove potato up your arse
if you're hard core
Skip the Lube

Way more interesting and no where near as Gay as any Gay pro vid you're gonna try and force people to watch

Get a line mount kit and save all the hassle.

Made one and it works a treat.

Has frayed lines a little.

Had a couple of failed to record events go pro running out of battery before I stopped the record for some reason it doesn't capture the video if you don't stop it prior to battery running out.
