GoPro Hero 3 in helmet

[ylwf3vr]

Watched R1Chronicles and thought Id try this.... Doesn't look really good and the Velcro doesn't really hold it/keep it steady that well. I'm thinking of trying Command Strips.

If it doesn't work out Id like to put it on my chin but (not sure if you can see on this pic) but this helmets chin is very "pointy" so the mount doesn't go on there at all..

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated! If not I have to put it on the side (not really a fan cuz it sticks out too far and looks awkward IMO)

Here's the chin

Curved or flat mount doesn't work

Have you tried the curved or flat mounts our by where your ear would be?

or above the shield (when it is in the open position)?

I have never liked the chin position because it impeads your view.

It will fit there.. I just don't like how far it sticks out to the side.. lol I rode to work today with it inside of my helmet like my first pic and didn't impede the view at all..

but seems like I may have to attach it to the side.

Mount a curved or flat slightly to the side of the chin and you can bring it back center using arms or the goose neck.
On the goose just use the neck part ignore the clamp.

Interesting. Thanks!

I wanted to give this another shot so I made a ghetto bracket..

I will test it out tomorrow.. Seems to sit back a little more and leaned back.. So hopefully footage will be better and stable

what I did is I place the go pro mount just to either side of the pointy chin and use all the linkages to try to get the camera close to center it ended up being slightly off to one side but once your watching the vid you could never tell
