So i have a GoPro turning up in the next could of days. For those on here that have a camera, where is the best place to mount one on a helmet?



On a side note i ordered one from amazon which arrived yesterday and the box was cut open with no camera inside Sad Just a warning for everyone...

On a full face I think central on top is a good place to stick a curved mount pad.

The videos from a helmet mount look like shit, just mount it on the front of the screen... like this:

I go top of helmet central and also side of helmet, good to get different angles. Give it a good clean and dry first, they work really well then.

Heres a couple of films from the above placements.

...and heres the central helmet mount. You need to set the angle well, not to be to up or to down.

This is where I mount mine. Its a good view. Its not in the way either (It does look like it is from this view, but its not).

But a helmet is probably the best place to mount the camera to reduce vibration caused by potholes and ruts in the road

I dont really want it on the front of the bike. I like the idea of it recording where i look.

Stupid thread really. I just realised i have a flip face helmet, so having it on the top or the chin of the helmet wouldnt work really, so having it on the side is the only real option Laughing
