I’m sure all these helmet cam videos are done just for laughs because there all just poo. I just have a chin mount and my Sena head set connect to the GoPro though Bluetooth. Maybe do your own research before making another crap video like all the others on KZfaq

6:15 PRO TIP: Use a hairdryer or heat gun to warm up both the adhesive on the mount and the helmet before attaching the two parts together, that way they'll bond a lot better.

Glad someone has made a newer video on motovlog setups! Been looking for a while to get some ideas on where to mount things, but nothing has been this detailed. Cheers!

TeaPotOne, this was great. And folks, no need to post negative comments here. Why not be kind? Isn't the world challenging enough? I'm also a professional television director and editor with tons of experience. The best way to get good audio is to hardwire, as you have done here. Bluetooth is not reliable. Thank you for this video. It was super helpful for me. I'm about to set my GoPro, helmet and Sena. Keep posting ,TeaPotOne!.

Nice setup. Clear instructions. Love the silicone pro tip!

I’m glad your back Bruce! Your new intro is awesome, love it! Thanks for everything do.

I put a small lining of super glue around the edges of the helmet sticky mount to make sure it will NEVER come off that position without ripping the helmet to shreds. There is no play. .and that's good given the weight of the gopro and the TREMENDOUS forces of wind resistance. .especially when you're turning your head to check it's safe to lane change. Also, the fewer the joints the better. An extended curved mount arm is so much better [it's cheap too so I buy 2x of them for backups]. Cool thing about the curved mount arm is you can swing it out further from the helmet and adjust the gopro to face forward again with more clearance for keeping it looking straight when you tilt your head up or down. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Because sharing. . .is caring.

Very informative teapot. I have oft considered doing a vlog but having seen what's involved I really do not have the patience. Fair credit to you and your like for producing free to see vlogs. Keep 'em coming....

Spot on install TeapotOne ! I have a different challenge - my GoPro is mounted out in front of my windshield. In addition, I do not want any wires coming from the GoPro back into my helmet (tethered) so, I'm flummoxed. I chose the location of the GoPro first so there is nothing in the way (tall windshield). I have a great stout mount so that part is done. I have a USB charger in the dash to run to the GoPro to record and all-day session. I'm thinking get a GoPro case with the mic adapter space to get that part done right up front. That leaves two cables coming back to inside the windshield - the "new" USB-C to my charge port and the mic cable. I'm thinking a wireless mic so, the receiver is on the handlebars or the like and the transmitter (smaller the better) is in the helmet or on the helmet with a short mic cable inside the helmet. Done. Any advice? would be welcome.

Well-meant suggestion/improvement : apart from one, throw away all other too cumbersome GoPro original screws, and replace them with nice-and-slick M5x20 umbraco-head screws. Because once the exact camera location is determined, there's no need to stick with such cumbersome screws ! Keep only one (!) of these cumbersome/original GoPro screws to be able to (tilt and) open the case for all kinds of practical reasons (like e.g. accessing battery or SD card) when you're "on-the-go".

More Scottish engineering...you know I love it! Lol! & I already know it works...the silicone ear plugs are the best thing ever...also stabilizes the plug to eliminate popping & crackling...I put it around my mic plug as well to stabilize & weatherproof those connections too...🖖🏿😎👍🏿

Bruce, I have been scratching my head on how to get my Nolan N87 Plus setup for weeks and I had all those bits you have laying around. I have tried the tie on mounts and they loosen up. Finally I watched your video carefully and my helmet has scalloped sides (concave) whereas the go pro mount adhesive is convex. I have finally worked out how to avoid this problem by putting it on a ridge and cutting a small slot in the adhesive where the ridge is. It will then sit perfectly over the ridge to the side where you put it and using your attachment combination it's going to be a winner! Also my front vent will still work using your system. Mate you are a genius - well done!

Thank you so much for the Sugru tip. I have a helmet with more curves than the curved mount could match and was working on all sorts of methods to build a flat spot for the camera mount. This is a life saver.

Bruce - I just really enjoyed that vid which popped up on my feed. Cracking. Then I saw Mark Russell's comment. What an utter prick. Clearly a charisma bypass donor. Not that I want to do any public vlogging, but I do want to vid my rides after my 37 years bikeless (now fixed..... sixteenfold) for myself, my lad, and even the family. I have a spare AGV, and a Cardo, and so I am thinking to set my AGV up for that - as I don't want to stick anything on the Neotech. That was really helpful mate - thanks a lot 👍

I like to use a smear of dialectic grease on any electrical contacts that might be exposed to the elements, and I would do that for the mic plug and socket. Stops any corrosion or oxidation of the electric contact. Love the editing, Bruce. Top stuff.

You could remove the thumb screws on the go pro mount and replace with M5 allen bolts. Looks a lot neater & less cluttered.

A few improvements easy to make to this You can get a GoPro Case that holds the case and the adaptor the screws I replaced with normal sized screws that sit flush with arms so there isn't lots of thumb screws blocking the view of a nice helmet. I've had this same setup in the past but replaced it with a GoPro Max on the top of helmet, might look a bit derp, but it starts conversations and turns heads with the addition of amazing footage to make great content with!

Nice one Bruce..got my license after watching your vlog..riding for 3 years now..gone over to the dark side today and set this system up..keep it up mate

Brilliant video with caracter .nice to see you back .keep up the good work great videos.

Great video, Bruce! Just a few of tips ... not sure if already mentioned. 1) Use some a little cleaning alcohol cloth to clean the areas that you will stick the bits to ... I have had 3M products come loose as a result of not doing this. 2) If the audio adapter has limited cable length and position options on the lid, test out the camera first for angles to ensure you have a final cam position before fitting the extra bits that plug into the cam. 3) If you are afraid of potentially having your £400 camera bouncing down the road, attach one of the little GoPro string lanyards to it and just loop your chinstrap through it.

I have used a Ulanzi GoPro vlogging case and that way the massive audio adapter sits right below my camera

I really enjoyed this TeapotOne. I have been away from motorcycle vlogging for over 5 years and although I'm soon to get a GL1800 trike (I'm disabled now so cannot ride two wheels now) I want to restart my channel. My preferred helmet is the Shoei Neotec and I had my GoPro Hero 3+ Silver on a similar set up to yours, only a little further back. I took photos of my set up fortunately but require some bits and bobs like the mic (I've ordered the adapter) and communication system. I did have the Sena 20S previously but I hear good reviews of the Cardo system. I too have the Hero 7 black now. I usually record in 1080p 30fps. Ride safe my friend.

I fitted my gopro by moulding Sugro to make a shape to fit the gopro mount in front of the air vent. 2 years in and 150 mph later it hasn’t moved, it’s dead straight and solid. The Sugro came in black so it blends in. I now can’t open the vent but I don’t need to. Great tip to seal the door 👍

A tip: Run the long speaker cable (the antenna) up over your head (under the cap) for best reception.

Just a heads up there are doors you can buy online that leaves the audio slot open for the GoPro, no need to shove the putty stuff in there. You can also remove the thumb screws or buy aftermarket ones that are smaller. Good video.

Ive been looking all over for a video like yours that explains everything and the best setup. Was struggling to find a video that explains the best way to get good voice coverage. Cheers mate 😁

Great piece of work Bruce, straight to the point and informative, almost like a training session !

Love the silicone putty tip 👍

Great to see you again, big decision made and you made the right one.

Good morning teapot, I've only recently found your channel so i'am watching your back log of videos, all the best for the future

The superglue for the deadcat is a great tip!

Hi Mr Tpot Great news that you’re back. Look forward to lots more from you. FTP... its their loss!

Pro-tip: using a heat gun or even a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive on the GoPro mount before attaching it to the helmet will really make the mount extremely secure :) Great video, Bruce!

Thanks Bruce, lovely and straight forward, very nearly Blue Peter simple, answered loads of questions in one neat vid cheers.

This is the best motovlog set up video I've ever seen to be honest. Excellent stuff. You've given me a LOT of ideas for my next set up.

I know it's a couple of years dated now since you've made this vid but it is an alternative option for those with GoPros and Cardo PackTalks rather than the Sena intercoms. I'm still debating whether to go for the Sena 50S or the Packtalk Bold. Sena have just released the 50S Harman Kardon updated version of the old 50S as I draft this response. There's tons of 'Ultimate Vlogging Setup' videos on here and yes, a lot usually aim towards the same sort of solutions: GoPro connected to a mic and an intercom of either the latest Cardo or Sena (as they are the 2 leading brands of current mesh connection intercoms). There's still a massive annoyance of users of these intercoms however that the 2 brands are not compatible on mesh with each other, and are only workable over bluetooth, which is significantly a step backwards in tech. This forces users to choose between devices and usually comes down to 'what do the rest of your riding buddies have? Go with that.' The biggest gripe I have with the Cardo setup here, and I've come across this video whilst reseraching this, is that with Sena, you can plug the intercom mic into a Y-splitter along with the speakers from the intercom and then into GoPro (only possible using either GoPro's Mic Adapter or the Media Mod) then into the GoPro itself to record notonly your audio, but the audio from the rest of your team. If you watch Chris Caliente's video on this it explains how this is acheived quite thoroughly. You have to remember as a final point that Cardo invented the MESH technology and Sena have copied it from them, hence the lack of compatibility between the two brands. Great video Bruce. Another Sub from me mate.

I’m on it with the silicone ear plugs tip, brilliant! Thank you 👍🏻

Greetings for the homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I have mounted my camera with the sugru, very strong and great for very curved helmet as it is mouldable. It does need a day to cure but can be easily removed with a bit of dental floss. Keep the vids coming they are barry

I've never seen those silicone putty earplugs, that tip is going to change up my routine this summer for sure! Thank you!

Nicely done, Bruce. Even with other helmet configurations, you describe the strategy for each of the various components well. Thanks!

Thank you teapotone you help get my Rurock set up quick for motovlogging

Interesting video. I use the same Cardo system but have the Drift camera which I find is less bulky, but each to their own. Great to have you back. 👍

great video mate, nice and easy to follow.

Great vid Bruce this will help me with my setup 👍

Bruce. You can get a case that allows the audio box to slot into it for your gopro keeps it all neat.

I set my camera up first time. I had it on the lower right side of the helmet (????) Chucked my leg over the bike, started to pull off the drive way. Looked left & right to see what was coming & off on my merry way I went. Got back and the bloody camera was pointing skyward. Downloaded the footage and sure enough the right head turn when departing the driveway pushed camera up. Lovely blue sky for the whole 15 minute test ride 🤣

Always great to see a bearded bro talking bike stuff lol. Very informative thanks for sharing😎👍

Great vid sir, very informative very professional, well done that man, great to see you back on the tube, 👍🏍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Perfect explanation, thank you!

Love the intro! Several helpful hints, I like the earplug as a weatherproofing compound, BRILLIANT! I’m wondering, will you offer these videos in English in the future? Just kidding, there were a couple words & phrases I missed but love & support your channel regardless(-:

Great video, I have a similar setup, tried and tested for years now. Shoei NXR with a hero3+ mounted dead center on the chin with Sugru, and then a Cardo Scala Rider G9x clamped to the side. I've been using this setup and those two pieces of tech now for years and no issues at all.

No help for you seeing as you use the Cardo but I tried the Sena comms back for the Gopro. Works a treat with crystal clear sound recorded to the Gopro from the Sena mic. Problem is that it disables music from your phone and ability to take calls. Talk about an own goal. On my helmet set up I use hex bolts except for the vertical adjustment. It seems to make it a touch more rigid and I rarely need to adjust. Nice vlog :) Liked your tip, a while ago, about using silicon ear plugs to weatherproof my Hero 4... top tip!

Watched the 44T interview and have been binge watching all your vids. Absolute class content bud. A quick tip with sticky gopro mounts is to use a lighter on the adhesive until its bubbling and gooey then wack it on, will never come off if you do that. Look forward to more content 👌👍

Great tips!

Some great tips here Bruce. It was the lack of waterproofing that caused me to stick with a Ghost set up.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe. Cheers.

Fab video Bruce and your content and editing skills are top draw mate, looking forward to what 2020 and beyond brings👍😊👌

Helpfu. Thank you

Great vid Bruce! well presented, logical and enlightening. I went into watching with "what is this witchcraft?" and left with an "Oh Cool". Top Job mate 👍

Ooh Brucie. Lovely watching you play with your helmet

Great Video Bruce, entertaining and informative too! Oh and hope your enjoying the freedom.

I’ve been watching quite a few of your vids over the past year, and how you’ve arrived at certain inevitable decisions which will hopefully allow you to be successful doing something we all enjoy. Good luck Bruce and all the best, as for this vid it’s right on the money, but seriously I couldn’t be bothered - I’ll leave it to the experts 👍

Best of luck with your future plans This video is not my cup of tea but I thought I would let it run to help out on the analytics Looking forward to watching the Picos trips

Great video Bruce. I'm not planning on doing loads of vlogging as such but it'll be good to be able to speak some of the time and pic up the engine noise. Thanks for the tips about making sure the mic had two bands on the jack rather than three for the GoPro adapter.

Great vid well explained and very helpful...you just got another Sub👍🏻

I have now sorted out all the kit and did my first ride. Was awesome and I hope to do loads more. So much fun and thank you for getting me going. Liked and subbed

Nice video, very helpful and informative. Thanks

Good idea with the earplugs, Im going to do that to my set up.

Love the new studio, and nice vid buddy! You can replace the thumb screws with normal screws, just to tidy it up more, and even when tight you can still make adjustments.👍😜

Excellent idea

Spot on, well presented. Top job. 👍🏼 😎 🌎

Nice looking Lid that! I've gone the path more travelled and joined team GoPro this year. I went for the SuGru option and managed a perfectly central mount. Looks like that would be impossible for you with this helmet though. Pesky designers, putting cool vents on the chin! Loving the chin camera position so far, but hating that adapter nonsense! Happy new lidding mate!

Awesome set-up.... 😎👍

Hi I liked your tutorial very good

Great vid. Really helpful, any chance of a video on how you sync all of your footage and edit. Keep up the great content.

Really shows what's involved in producing a great blog!. Nice how to video Bruce. One thing I see with a lot of riders with GoPro cameras is not having the camera titled up and back enough...with the wide angle lens you can really tilt it back . Great new intro by the way!! Cheers, Steve

Definitely watched Blue Peter as a kid. Good stuff.

Nice one. The production value on your videos is excellent. Nice advice, I use the Cardo too. Great system. Cheers.

Great tips Bruce

Thanks for the vid - just what I was looking for. I’ve got the same issue on mount position. Adventure helmet doesn’t have one flat surface. 😫 And my OCD doesn’t let me offset it 😬😁 but if I have to stick the sound box on the left them maybe that’s the solution. 🤔 Not sure Sucre has same adhesive qualities as 3M. I used Sucre under my peak to make a flat surface for a mount (session 5 Hero) then put a couple of screws through into the mount to make sure.

Thanks for a very informative and easy to follow set-up guide Bruce - much appreciated. Ta for the tip about the silicone ear plugs to fill the opening. Could you do a follow-up video on the camera settings you use for the Go-Pro 7?

Well that just buggered that lid 😊, silicon putty could have a lot of uses, thanks for that👍 did you clean the areas on the lid with alcohol wipes off camera? also its a good idea to use hair dryer sorry in you case a heat gun and warm the mount up a bit. Good luck in your new venture.👌

Praise you for making this vid! Handy guide!

Fab! Great job mate

Great video!

Did you do a review on that skid ? And why didn’t you use the in built com package they make for it ? Keep up the great work I’m loving your channel mate Slowly getting up to date 😂

Great videos Bruce, glad you e chosen to pursue this and you might be inspiring to make some content of my own. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Nice one Bruce having fitted a scala kit that’s a pain getting everything right. You have the patience of a saint 👍

Good job. I think I have a good set up. I use sugru to help stick the mount on the chin & use a windjammer thingy to stop wind flying up my lid. Also my mic has an adapter so I don't need the big gopro mic adapter

Great vid Bruce. Just be mindful of cleaning the surface of your helmet with alcohol before using adhesive pads. There's nothing worse than losing a £300 action cam because there was oily residue present during the assembly. And yes I am speaking from experience. RIP Hero 5. Crossed the rainbow bridge far too soon. I also use small bolts instead of the thumbscrews. It makes for a cleaner look once all of the angles are set.

Good as ever pal. I reakon some top quality helmets should have universal clips integrated behind a clip so you can put cameras on ect. Anyways thanks for top quality vid. Ride safe !

Well in lad glad your back

If you wanna go down the slightly less DIY option, there's a Canadian company called Chinmounts that do helmet specific chinbar mounts, they've just come out with one for the Atlas, they're just under 30 quid or so. I'm still waiting for them to make one for the AGV K1, mostly because my setup blocks one side of the front vents and the helmet tends to lean to one side when I put it down which is a bit disconcerting

It's a nice set up but just wish Gopro didn't insist on that huge audio block. On my camera mount I've replaced all the thumb screws with cross head and tightened with a screwdriver once set in place, just to neaten it up. Just left the one thumbscrew to remove the camera.

Cracking info there Bruce, another top video😎👍

Great vid and great tips Bruce I'm getting that putty stuff fantastic good one ride safe mate thanks

Have a look at Chin mount from the USA they might do a gopro mount for your helmet i got one for a HJC helmet fits perfect, also i got ride of the long connecting gopro bolts and use M5x18mm allan key bolts tidys mount up no wind noise safe riding steve

Did you say ‘Helmet Ring’.... that sounds painful mate 👍😂 Love the intro clips 👍

Great vid but dear oh dear!!! You didn't clean the section of the helmet before you stuck the 3m tape pad down on the GoPro mount or the mic adapter. Good to see you back on YT mind & thank you for showing us how you've installed your comms and audio. Cheers!

Quality storm trooper helmet
