GoPro Curved Surface Helmet Mount Review

[theblissster]

wait so u have to take off the sticky mount every time u use it???

[MegaGunz101]

If i just buy the mount and not the go pro camera will it work on a different camera? PLEASE RESPOND

[PointOfViewCameras]

@MegaGunz101 Negative. The mounts are strictly designed for the GOPRO. Sorry.

[TheMansw]

sweet gopro

[freestyleXX111]

i person doesnt have a gopro

[Skiingrules11]

i cant find a help video with an mx gopro

[itch360]

Sorry if this has already been asked but, My motorcycle helmet is $1100. Will the adhesive ruin the paint on my helmet when the mount gets removed?

[riklee]

nice one dude!

[TheSKLord]

i didnt have a flat surfes, but i super glow the holes where it was open. will it stick?

[1FlyNik]

What if the curvature of the helmet does not match the curvature of the mount? I have a helmet that seems to be more rounded than the sticky area of the mount and so contact is not very good?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@1FlyNik Hmmm.. well do you have vents in your helmet? you could use the vented helmet mount. Or the Head band mount, just straps over your helmet or head. Or switch up your helmet?

[56retoocs]

oh yes i didnt know they were re-usable! thats awesome! thanks, if i wouldnt of watched this, prob woulda thrown em out and bought new ones LOL

[PointOfViewCameras]

@56retoocs Haha well glad i could save you a few mounts in the future:)

[rhelbren]

Or you could buy more mounts, not very expensive...

[xxcoolbro777]

Thank you the 1st time I used this it came off and it would not stick back on

but now I know to wait

[boomheadshot321]

Thank you!!

[justinharris199]

is this mount a one shot deal? or can you use it multiple times?

[riklee]

@justinharris199 dude watch the video! he just showed you and told you the answer. duh!

[brockjohnson11]

Great vid! Helped a lot. For snowboarding, what angle/where on my helmet should I put it (top or in the front more)? I'm trying to get a little bit of me or my board but mostly where I'm going. :)

[catsareyummy123]

would it stick if you put it more in the front of the helmet?

[Bsblob]

are you sure its safe to refuse the adhesives? 

[waverippa97]

is the mount water proof ? i want to attach it to a paddle board (Racing Mal) which can be a big impact if i nose dive or get in a small barrel. they say dont use suction mount so idk cause i wanna get a go pro. ive seen the base plate one but it looks rally hard to remove cause i cant have it on in comps, Help ??

[PointOfViewCameras]

@waverippa97 it is for sure, but the surf board mount sounds like it would be more up your alley. If you have a evening to remove the mount before a comp then it wouldn't be that much of a trouble. Just remove the mount the same way you would the flat or curved mount. Just need a hot blow dryer:)

[Evilcheeseeater]

can the camera pop out of the mount?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@Evilcheeseeater not unless you squeeze the clip with your hand. there is a little white plug that comes with the camera to stop vibration and the possible chance your camera pops off after hitting a branch ect.. Would be extremely difficult, next to impossible for this to happen.

[Evilcheeseeater]

@PointOfViewCameras thanks this helpped alot now i wont be so worried to buy it

[SimiGEdits]

so it wont fall off when you jump with an unicycle for example? because i want to get some footage of me downhilling (wth unicycle)

[Mu5ik4Life]

Is it a bad idea to put a mount on a nice snowboard (ie. the front of it facing up towards me)?

[PKMaxkan1]

well if i dont want to take it of how will i do then?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@PKMaxkan1 ? I dont understand the question?

[PKMaxkan1]

@PointOfViewCameras that i mean is if i don't want to take the curved adhesive of & want it to be there forever can i just leave it there or how will i do?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@PKMaxkan1 lol, yeah man, one of my helmets has one on from a few years ago, rock solid:)

[PKMaxkan1]

@PointOfViewCameras ok so i just need to dont touch it fine ;)

[ViBzZx]

how many times would i be able to re-use it, i want to use it on different things, but im to scared that i wont be able to use it again ..

[PointOfViewCameras]

@ViBzZx Not sure. All depends how well you heat it up. I have used the same one three or four times but past that i really don't know. Heat it up and make sure the next surface area is CLEAN!

[nosyt21]

If you remove the adhesive mount properly with a blowdryer then will it be safe to use a second time?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@nosyt21 Yes should be good to go. Make sure you re apply it hot. Let it set over night and give it a little test before you rock it out!

[Mxhondadude12]

can you adjust the angle without taking the base off and what not?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@Mxhondadude12 No you would have to remove it.

[AdrenalineRush724]

Whats the best place to put the mount on a helmet and whats the best way to remove it?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@AdrenalineRush724

Most people like to mount the camera directly on top of there helmet, feels the most comfortable. Whatever you choose, just make sure your curved mount matches the curve on your helmet.

As far as removing the mount, just use a blowdryer until the mount slowly peels off with the adhesive intact.

[victorox98]

so y cant u leave the mount on the helmet like do u have 2 pull it off?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@victorox98 No. I have had one of those mounts on my helmet for almost a year and a half now. I could grab a blow dryer and take it off even now without much bother.

[DmytroRyzhkov]

@victorox98 No, you can leave it on. Some people just take it off to put on something else.

[LordKryn]

I bet you lost half your surface cleaner from leaving the lid off!

[FBang237]

Thanks New Zealand your video's are great, can not wait to get one!

[PointOfViewCameras]

@FBang237 Send us a link to your vids when you do!!

[bluestreak6591]

Excellent, Thanks.



[draysondesign]

Did a search for applying the GoPro curved helmet mount clicked on your video and got exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

[PointOfViewCameras]

@draysondesign Sweet.. Thanks for the feedback, good to know these videos are helping!

[SadWatermelon]

@draysondesign How many Adhesive Mounts does it come with? And what's with the Head Strap, I don't understand what it does, also if I put one Adhesive Mount on the top, and one on the side of my helmet and leave it forever, is that okay? Or will I need to buy a new one after like... a year?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@SadWatermelon Well if you get the Helmet Hero, you get two curved two flat.

Head strap, for your head! Without the helmet.

If you leave the mounts on your helmet.. they will be there until you take them off. I have had one mounted on my helmet for almost two years now. Just use a blow dryer to get it off when you do want to remove it.

Cheers!

[SadWatermelon]

@PointOfViewCameras Thanks for the help, Liked, Fav, Sub'ed.

[TheBojunga]

is it ok to leave that thing nonstop on my helmet or will it dry or something?

[npalmern]

i'm thinking about getting one for snowboarding. Could someone just take it off of your helmet and run? is there anything else keeping it secure and on?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@npalmern Cant see someone trying to rip a camera off the top of your head if your wearing it. If someone did try, you would have a good few minutes before removing the camera would be possible. This would give you plenty of time to smash the potential GoPro thief with your snowboard... or call for help.

[Sk8Abel3]

How many time after the first time you install it can you use it without it falling off.

[PointOfViewCameras]

@Sk8Abel3 Just depends on how well you remove it. If your second guessing on how sticky it is, use a new one. But roughly three or four times.

[PointOfViewCameras]

@Sk8Abel3 If you have the time, reheat the mount before you stick it on!

[cjdevel]

good straight to the point video! Thanks!

[PointOfViewCameras]

@cjdevel Glad I can help!

[xXBurntBaconXx]

@PointOfViewCameras can the suction cup mount be used to mount it onto the helmet or no?

[PointOfViewCameras]

@xXBurntBaconXx No i wouldn't go there, just use the adhesive, way less weight and much more solid.
