might be worth noting when you mention centering the mount, but most action cams have off-centered lenses which can lead to slightly off center video. good vid!

Nice info! I would probably put the camera on it before putting the glu on to see where it needs to go.

I LOVE Sugru!!! I used it to mount a gopro on my dads helmet and it worked perfectly!!! Oh, and it gets extremely strong after it dries. You will have a hard time getting the mount off the helmet after that!!

it helps to have a bowl of water to dip your fingers in when shaping it. wipe away excess easily with your finger or some type of shaping tool (like a spoon handle or a popsicle stick)... but i'm talking about once you have it how you like it and you're just trying to get the sides smooth and uniform; water helps to lubricate your finger to give it a nice smooth surface.

Great video. I can confirm this works VERY well. I've went on probabaly 100 rides with this mount and it never even came close to failing me

The real trick is the sugru. Mounting point is obvious. The alcohol too if you know how to work with adhesives. Sugru is some awesome stuff. I carry it with me on long trips. It proved useful for repairing a broken turn signal on the road. Gaffer tape is another must-have. One packet should be enough. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove the mounts before and I can confirm the Sugru will hold to speeds well above 100 mph.

Is this still how you recommend mounting a GoPro to helmet? Also, what setup do you use currently in regards to the GoPro accessories? Are you using that curved J bracket or something else? Would love to see an updated video. Thanks I’m advance.

Great video Dan, I’m also Dan and a fireman. My family calls me that and I couldn’t use it for my channel because you beat me to it 🤣. But that’s okay. What was the outcome of this product? I tried a chin mount on my modular LS2 Valiant 2 it it lasted all of 30 minutes and I almost lost my Hero 10. I’ve since gone to a Dango Mount, which works great on that helmet. I’m going to pick up the Shoei Hornet x2 tomorrow and may look into doing this.

@TJRohyans5 жыл бұрын
So... What's the long-term review on using this stuff? I have my GoPro mounted on top of my current helmet because mounting it on the front put too much weight out front and caused my helmet brow pad(s) to rest on my glasses causing discomfort on my nose, but the helmet has a ridge right in the center and the GoPro mount isn't terribly secure. I think this stuff would be "the bees knees" if it works as advertised.

But it won't come off. At least without the paint doing it as well. Sugru is great when it comes to this. You just use a knife, get rid what you can cut away and the rest is easy to do with your fingernails.

even with the curved mounts, it can be very difficult to find a spot that matches the curvature of the mount. and even if you do find a spot that works, it may not be anywhere near where you actually want it mounted. enter: Sugru.
