Go pro mount area?

[SAPD911]

I have a modular helmet. What's the best place to mount the go pro on the bike. I might just get a side helmet mount. I really don't wanna put anything adhesive on my $600 helmet

with mine

i was thinking of putting mine on the upper dash just above the gauges so it looks right over the frunk at the road

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I have a clamp mount that will let me clamp the camera to the dash and aim it through the windshield over the frunk. I don't want to put anything adhesive on my helmet *or* my dash.

The main problem I would have with a helmet mount is it records every head movement. It would depend on what you want to show in your videos.

Video quality is much better with a helmet mount. The camera doesn't pick up vibration as if it were mounted directly on the bodywork. The GoPro sticky mount can be removed easily without damage. If you decide to remove it use dental floss to cut through the adhesive then use your thumb to roll off the remaining adhesive. I've applied them and removed them from my $500 helmet and $14K Waverunner. But on a flat or semi flat surface I use the suction cup mount with a lanyard.

I use this with my gopro clone.

I have mine on the right side mirror top. I have some great videos of rides and works great.

I saw an intriguing mount that used the dash bolts on the to front of the dash right behingvthe windshield. Not sure if the are a sponsor so I won't post a lunk, but it's the same guy that makes the hose to fill both front tires at the same time. I may try that one when I finally pick up a go pro.

Related... does everyone just run battery power? Use the USB cable? Or use the battery replacement power cord? The latter is am aftermarket thing that I have only seen from 2 companies so far and sort of spendy but keeps it powered for as long as you want without using the USB which is not nlyvreally meant for charging.

Also, I assume the go pro can be set to loop record? :dontknow:

Been thinking about getting one for a while but want yo make sure it will work how I want it too...

The GoPro can be set from continuous or loop.

I used the suction cup to mount my GoPro on the windshield, with very good results. I mounted it as low as possible, with just the suction cup mount -- no extension.

I have it on the right side by the ear on my helmet and is looks good there...

I find that it picks up too much vibration when mounted on the Spyder, the best results I've found is with the chest mount. Position it just right and you can get the spyder dashboard to frame the video at the bottom. The biggest drawback is you look a plonker wearing it, I wore it a Spyder rally in Canada a couple of years back and everyone was doing a double take of this cheat mount.

Go-Pro Mount

I use both a side helmet mount and a mount on the top of the dash. The helmet mount is steadier, but you tend to knock the camera out of alignment when you open the chin bar on a modular helmet unless you mount the camera way back on the helmet which makes it hard to reach. Also, you will probably get the helmet in the corner of your picture. The dash mount gets a little vibration but not bad. I find the bigger problem is reflection from the windshield, and of course dirt or bugs on the windshield. It is, however, easier to reach to turn on and off if you don't have a remote.
