I looked at mounting it on top, which would have been ideal for keeping a more neutral balance and I dare say I would not have felt the weight quite so much as I did when I mounted it to the front of the helmet. In use: I used the curved mount on the front of my helmet. This mount means that you have nearly 180 degrees of adjustability, very useful indeed. A triple pronged female end receives the double pronged male end from the waterproof housing, which is bolted tightly into position. ![]() The flat mount would fit nicely on a bar stem, although I feel it would be very susceptible to being knocked off or snapped in the event of a collision. This left two choices, either the flat or curved mount. I tend to have other lights on my helmet so it wasn’t the best option for me. I found that attaching it semi-permanently with a few small cable ties made it solid enough to use off road. On a cycle helmet, you have a choice of the head band, which is solid with plenty of adjustment. I have used the camera in an absolute downpour… no issues with waterproofing at all, not surprising as the housing is marketed as being waterproof too 10mts.įitting: The camera, as discussed earlier mounts to the helmet by a number of fittings. The waterproof housing supplied is great. Aesthetically, if riding without the camera it isn’t that pleasing. I have no choice but to leave the mount in place when riding because it is an adhesive mount direct to the helmet surface. I have even dropped the helmet with it landing directly on the mount (sans camera) and it has not moved. Once on this is a solid dependable mount. First cleaning and degreasing the fitting area (which is not advised in the instructions) to make sure there was a solid clean contact. This could certainly be better.įixtures and fittings: I was very impressed with the solid camera housing attachments on the head straps and the helmet mounts. The diagram in the instructions for the Mini Pro HD was incredibly small the numbers on the diagram relating to functions and parts of the camera were almost illegible. Bearing in mind I have had the Action Cam#3 which is not as good a quality camera, it came with a six page booklet that was easy to read and was quite detailed, including instructions on how to set up a date/time stamp. Instructions: I was slightly disappointed with the instruction document. Underneath this were all the attachments neatly packaged in their individual packets. ![]() Open it up and you have the camera on display in its waterproof housing.
