We fiddled around with helmet cam mounts last winter and never did get it working solidly enough to film the kids while riding, without the camera shifting and flopping around like a limp....see photos.
The challenge to me is keeping the camera in the least vulnerable location while still allowing good viewing angle with a solid location. This is easier on ski helmets as they usually have venting to thread a strap around. The typical moto helmet has less usable venting. I'm currently using the right side mouth guard but the strap allows the mount to shift after a while. I do not want to use the sticky mounts because the helmet surface is contoured on the side for venting (with screens underneath) and I want to avoid the sticky permanent tab when not using the camera.
I'm wondering if anyone has some insight into this, specifically...tips on where's the best location to mount a Go Pro on the helmet...right/left side of mouth guard, top, front and why...and more importantly, what attachments to use?
