How can i attach my camera to my bike helmet ?

Question

I have a really good camera that works at any speed and is relatively small

the downside is it only records when the screen is flipped open which means i would have to use it a bit like this

any ideas how to actually attach the camera ?

Answer 1

I would be real leery of attaching an expensive camera to my helmet.

That being said, there is most likely a s***w hole on the bottom of the camera for mounting the camera on a tripod. I would try to find the same sized bolt for that and attach that bolt to some sort of frame that you could mount to your helmet. (Duct tape could actually work for that) Then you could s***w your camera onto the bolt.

Answer 2

fine if you don't like duct tape, then spend $100,000 to develope a nasa approved space polymer (i'd pick duc tape too bub, dunno who has to thumbs down duct tape)

Answer 3

been done - see the link

Answer 4

My vote is for duct tape. it wouold look ugly and messy but it woould work.

Also you could zip tie the camera to the handle bars recording though the windscreen. This would reduce that God awful wind noise in most rider Vlogs. The only drawback then is we only see what's right in front of the bike.

The best footage would have the camera mounted to the mouth part some way. On the side or on top would not give the right view. You could buy an L bracket from a hardware store and s***w it to the inside of the mouth part so the L sticks out from under the front of the helmet. Then put a s***w through the bottom of the protruding end of the L into the tripod mounting point in the camera. If it doesn't have a tripod mount point, you could still zip tie the camera to the L bracket very tightly and it should hold.

Answer 5

Duct tape, it works for everything....
