So for some reason, my Go Pro does not hold steady to my adhesive mount very well. It kinda shakes around, or is this normal? Anyone know why?

Is it just the GoPro to the mount? Are you using any of the different angle changing pieces?

The more connectors you use the more vibration you will get.

1) make sure the actual mount is secured properly (surface was clean when you attached it, you pushed it on long enough and gave it time to dry (on room temp.)

2) if the mounting foot is loose inside the actual mounting plate, push the rubber orange thingy in, this is to prevent vibrations

3) if the foot is still vibrating, take a small twig from a tree (almost always available) and wedge it underneath the camera, this will secure it nicely!
(i have this too, but only on my longboard mount because it gets sand in the mount and it erodes the base so it became all loose; now adays i just jam a small twig between the foot and mounting plate.... + rubber orange thingy....

a strip of electrical tape works pretty well if applied to the upper side of the baseplate ie; the area which interlocks.
