![]() ![]() Still, on the helmet you could go a little different and do a chin mount, Dango Designs makes in black, orange, red, or blue to match your helmet or bike. You could of course mount it to the side of your helmet and by adding an additional arm if you want your video to play in landscape orientation, if you went portrait mode (good for Instagram) nothing additional needed. The helmet is also seen a lot which can be good and bad depending on what you are going for. I’m with the latter group, I forget it’s there catch it occasionally on trees and it might dislodge or change the rotation slightly, then you get a good sky shot. The quality seems a little better than the cheapo, GoPro has improved the threaded insert to be stronger, and it’s free, sorta, it’s included with your camera! The original, this one from GoPro, the radius mount, good for mounting on helmets, windshields, bodywork, etc. I had a look around to see what I had that I know had lasted and was better quality than the normal low-grade plastic options. Plastic mounts left out in the sun day after day weaken and crack, cheap mounts have a small retaining nut pressed in that can often fall out or fail…sound familiar? Don’t forget horizon leveling to make it even easier stillĮnter into the search bar ‘GoPro mount kit’ and you will have literally thousands of options of combined kits for around $20 or so and for most activities they will be all you’d ever need.įor motorcyclists, and more importantly adventure motorcyclists they might not hold up to what hardship we can potentially put them through. This of course helps with mounting the camera. The newer GoPro’s now do that automatically for you, letting you mount the camera in almost any position and the shot be oriented correctly. When action cameras first came out you had a choice or right side up or if the GoPro was upside down you go into the settings and change it…it was a pain. This is a list of cheaper and more durable options for the motorcyclist to get that unique viewing/ filming angle you were looking for. GoPro’s and action cameras are great, a very reasonable way to get almost professional video but the mounts can be expensive and quickly add up to more than the camera. The options and advice represented in this article are ADVrider and the author’s alone.ĭid you read the ‘What’s In Your Bag?’ article and think, that’s cool and all, but I don’t want to carry all that gear! I think I can do it all with a phone and a GoPro, I just want a way to create some interesting angles…then this article is for you! ADVrider purchased the mounts and gimbal.
