You can adjust but you need to use the other brackets. The mount doesn't allow the camera to face forward, it will face right or left. To make it face forward the other brackets are needed. A very odd design choice.

You can move the camera around as you please. Has extra "elbow" for best filming angle.

The GoPro camera can be mounted facing forward or backward and has a fairly extensive pivoting range, vertically or horizontally.

You can pivot it depending on the attachments you add to the mount. It comes with additional extension and pivot arms.

It does face only forward with just the mount, but with the extenders you should have gotten with gopro you can change the direction of camera.

No. If you want to have that feature of pivoting your camera I'd suggest you to get a mount that does it.
The goose neck is a goog call for that. But if you do a research over the internet you'd find very good deals on them!!

It allows for adjustability when mounted.

I have my eye on certain items too. You should make a list in your BB account and just keep checking those items each week to see when they go on sale.

yes there is. available now.
