GoPro Hero 4 Session * Ultimate Moto Helmet Mount

This is an excellent chin mount solution for motocross, cross country, enduro, endurocross , or just play riding. The camera is perfectly placed, and 100% protected from obstacles. It may work for dual sport riding; however, a wind screen seems to create turbulence that the microphone doesn't like.

The wind noise is a bit much, but the angle looks pretty darn good. Very clever.

I'd pay good money for a helmet with an integrated "dash cam" right in the position where you mounted this goPro. With all the aftermarket action cam helmet rugs you'd think Shoei. Arai, etc would produce one. Vloggers and insurance companies would love it. Yeah, I've seen the scully helmet. I'm talking about a much more simple(cheaper) concept like the one in this video but from the factory.

I don't know why helmet manufactures haven't created a standard for mounting helmet cams. Something like a picatiny rail would be awesome.

Just picked up the session tonight to add to my kit for some projects coming up next week! The quality looks great in your video! Did you enhance much in post-production? Nice edit by the way!

+HazardSports Nice! I did no post production work other than a couple of clips. Enjoy the camera.

For good audio just use a Sony idc x333 digital audio recorder with neewer lapel mic and use that audio when editing. A good way to lineup the recorded audio file to your video file is to clap or cough three times at the stat of recording, as your match up point. The recorder and mic is only $60 on eBay.

Maybe stuff a couple of black foam pieces around it to fill the gaps just to take off the bit of wind noise it occasionally picks up and it'll be ideal.

+Matt W Yes, I think that might do it.

tell about ipod mounted on the helmet please. how is it mounted and what speakers are used?

A spot of Velcro keeps it solidly in place. Tork helmet speaker pump 500 of my favorite tunes into my head.

You'll have to figure out how to wire it in yourself if it's possible. Let me know if you find a way.

you should take it to the next level and make fiberglass piece to go aroud the camera and clean it up and paint it. then patent it and sell it to a helmet maker, or you make them if not some one else might, its perfect. I know I'd buy one in a heartbeat. untill then ill keep mine under the peak.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS VIDEO OFF KZfaq IMMEDIATELY. Someone is going to steal this idea. You need to present this to a helmet manufacturer as an option since so many riders use GoPros all the time. You already have a working prototype. EXECELENTE!

@zrogon 8 жыл бұрын

It's a cool idea, however you know why they don't put a gopro inside helmets at the factory? Cause what you cut out is needed for structural integrity of the helmet, I hope you don't get to test this helmet, if you do I wouldn't count on keeping your teeth.

@calmoto9073 8 жыл бұрын

I didn't realize that the flimsy pop out plastic piece on the grill constituted "structural integrity". I can see the camera being pushed back and possibly causing injury in a rare situation, but there's a lot of space there.

@zrogon 8 жыл бұрын

aah ok, my bad, I thought that the jaw protector was a complete one unit and you just cut it all out, if you just replaced it than I guess it's not as terrible. I would still bet you'd rather not be forced to swallow the session :P

Cal Moto Making modifications that compromise the safety structure of a moto helmet. It probably doesnt matter in states that you dont need to wear a helmet tho.

@calmoto9073 6 жыл бұрын

I removed the mouth guard screen. The opening accommodated the device without modifying any part of the helmet construction. Because the camera replaces the screen/protective filter, I think I'm okay, legally speaking. The fact that I ko'd myself hitting a tree wearing that lid is a whole separate issue. It's not a usable helmet.
