Sorry about the case. I've never used the suction cup on my lid. Only on my tank and side fairing. It could be worse, your camera could be broke:banghead:i shouldve known better to than to post a video with me using no gear. ill be wearing more gear in next shots. to answer the few questions that you guyz had.
i own gloves. i just chose not to wear them. i usually wear them. idn.
the leather jacket doesnt have pads but will protect me if i fall.
sorry for the rider shot i know im not all that fun to watch. that was the first video i made so ill learn from my mistakes.
thanks for your concerns brothers
anyways, i was out riding and had the gopro on my helmet via suction cup. and .....IT FELL OFF. i cracked the housing right where the lens is. lucky me the camera was still recording when i went to pick it up. ill post that video later.
dude that sucks but good to know you at least have gear... lol.:banghead:i shouldve known better to than to post a video with me using no gear. ill be wearing more gear in next shots. to answer the few questions that you guyz had.

i havent found any damage to the camera.a new case costs 39.99. i bought mine at best buy 45 minutes after the accident. then i went across the street to dicks sporting goods and bought a 2 foot lanyard... needless to say i reattached the gopro to my helmet w/lanyard. i rode for another 30 minutes down towards the city and just as i was crossing through brooklyn the damn mount fell again, but i had attached it to the helmet strap. it fell right into my lap. i think ill try to use the circular mount(adhesive) for my helmet in the next videos.dude that sucks but good to know you at least have gear... lol.
How much is another case and was there any kind of damage to the camera?
like others have already said, you need a lanyard of some kind attached to you or whatever else that is handy so you don't have something like this ever happen again. how much are new cases?
A lot of people have beefed up the glue using an epoxy to attach the mount to the helmet. It's going to be permeant, but it won't fall off. I used the Contour adhesive mount, waited 24 hours, and it stayed on my helmet for the entire ride, and then easily came off (a bad thing) at the end of my ride into my hand (a good thing).i havent found any damage to the camera.a new case costs 39.99. i bought mine at best buy 45 minutes after the accident. then i went across the street to dicks sporting goods and bought a 2 foot lanyard... needless to say i reattached the gopro to my helmet w/lanyard. i rode for another 30 minutes down towards the city and just as i was crossing through brooklyn the damn mount fell again, but i had attached it to the helmet strap. it fell right into my lap. i think ill try to use the circular mount(adhesive) for my helmet in the next videos.
You must not be putting it on right. You are pushing it on and flipping the lever? It should not budge at all. Like Jon said, it would pull a fairing off before it would fall.i havent found any damage to the camera.a new case costs 39.99. i bought mine at best buy 45 minutes after the accident. then i went across the street to dicks sporting goods and bought a 2 foot lanyard... needless to say i reattached the gopro to my helmet w/lanyard. i rode for another 30 minutes down towards the city and just as i was crossing through brooklyn the damn mount fell again, but i had attached it to the helmet strap. it fell right into my lap. i think ill try to use the circular mount(adhesive) for my helmet in the next videos.
thanks for sharing....:zombie:I don't poop in public bathrooms.
did you remove the graphics from your bike? for the side mount suction cup is it suctioned to the graphics or fairing?You must not be putting it on right. You are pushing it on and flipping the lever? It should not budge at all. Like Jon said, it would pull a fairing off before it would fall.
