Where do you put yours! - Helmet cam that is!

Post by Wilso122 »

Hello! Ive got a VIO-POV and normally mount it on the top of the helmet but am convinced there is a better place. Thinking about a pole on the back of the bike and putting it on that so it gets a bit of the rider and the road ahead. or, the side of the lid or front of the bike or on the crash bars, bit risky tough!

So where do you put yours and how do your mount it!

Please post example vids and pictures of mounting.

Cheers Wilso!

p.s. Craig I'm looking forward to this one!

Chest cam imho is the easiest to watch, much steadier but only really works well if you are stood up. (works well for horse riding too)

It would be very tricky with the POV, I think you would have to swallow the recorder. :laugh: :laugh:

A man that builds bikes such as yourself will no doubt come up with something. B) I just find when watching a head mounted one back it moves, wobbles and shakes too much but a chest mount is as steady as it gets, your core staying relatively still compared with limbs and the bike.

I had the POV and it's on top of the helmet. I recently bought a clamp to put it on the crashbars for some shots of the rear wheel over ruff stuff but havnt tried it yet. I also changed the setting to 720 with 60fps as I didn't like the original wide angle shot it was giving This one is wide angle So is this This the later setting Hope this helps
