Yea, from all the side by side comparisons I've seen the GoPro seems to have a bit higher quality video. The Contour vids seem just a tiny bit darker for some reason and the GoPro audio seems better. Just wish it was cheaper.
Damn. I was trying to decide between the GoPro and the Contour ROAM. I think I'll go with the Contour. The GoPro just looks way to big to be mounted on a helmet. Thanks for the vid.
@wcjcnc Good Luck and thanks for commenting. IMO the GoPro (hero2) is a great choice. if you can find a place that offers both cameras that you can see side-by-side, I think that would be a great why to decide.
@xMooNv the supplied 3M backing is on the helmet along with the hot glue to take up the space left by the contours of the camera mounting plate and the helmet not matching.
what's the diameter on the adhesive that goes on the chin part of helmet? I don't think it'll fit on my RF-1100 helmet because that part of my helmet is not perfectly curved
@SexyToshi Toshi, I have an rf-1100 and it doesn't adhere perfectly to the chin bar. What I had to do was mount it in a way that used most of the 3m pad, and attach the rest of the exposed mount with velcro. Not the flashiest, but we got screwed out of mounting our gopro to our helmets.. didn't we? lol
@SexyToshi Thx for your question. once you adhere the mounting plate, you can do the same as I did to take up the difference in curvature. - Good Luck !!
You should NEVER use epoxies, hot glues or even some stickers and paints on the surface of a motorcycle helmet.......and using rivets is just plain stupid!
I suppose it all depends what is worth more to you, a camera or your brain function
@drukenhard Hey thanks for your advice - did you watch the video?? Did you listen to what I said?? Using 2 small rivets is stupid if you don't want to trash your camera ?? how did you mount your camera? what type of stunning do you do with it?
@RobRuotolo1 I'm not actually mounting it on a motorbike helmet.....I'm putting mounts on the bike, my snowboarding helmet and my rollerblading helmet so it's going to be subjected to hits, falls and vibrations.
I'm sure the user manual for your helmet would have warned against using paints or stickers on the helmet surface. By doing so you risk the degradation of the chemicals that add strength to the shell and more than likely void your warranty.
i dont ride bikes so please correct me if im wrong... but i see alot of these videos on mounting to helmet.. why would you have a mounting place on the chin pad and onother on top. your not really getting any better angle from one another . where im going with this i just puchase a go pro for my jet ski and i have the mounting points placed all over the jet ski for different angles i just cant justify on putting 2 mounts near the same place
@deanoobaby I have the two positions just for two different POV's I also own a few of these now and lets say I wanted to shot one from the front view and the other from the rear thats how I would use the two different mounts.. etc.. Good Luck with yours !!
@RobRuotolo1 thanks !!!! have any of your adheisive mounts failed yet? i had two of mine starting to peel off so i drilled holes and counter sunk them and fitted two small nuts and bolts .i geuss they dont like salt water . i also use a lanyard tied to the gopro just for extra secuirity . ive only had one fail with the suction mount [video in my channel] good job a lanyard was tied to it .
@GoProHero1000 So far as I know, I would expect it would be. Check on the surfboard mount and see if that is secured with the same adhesive. Good Luck!!
Can you let me know which videos are the chin mount & which are the top helmet mount? Thanks for the tips...good stuff!!! I went to Barber this past weekend & wish I had this camera!
@nawtn Hi, if you see a lot of the bike in an overview perspective the is the top mount and if you are looking straight through my window thats the chin mount. I look forward to doing the Barber thing one day in CT.. Well I hope you get a chance to do it again and perhaps grab one if these cameras.. best of luck.
@theorderoforange i crashed my supermotard and banged my helmet to the ground so that the sticky M3 mount came of my helmet, after i throw all the stuff in my backpack and when i got home i tryed to just place it back on and it sits like a mountain still.
@mwells45 if you are wondering ,it is below my line of sight and does not interfere with my vision at all. I've had it on for 3 years now with no issues.
@OreoLivesOn yes it comes with a curved sticky mount and a straight sticky mount. it also comed with a helmet strap so you dont have to put the sticky ones on your helmet. and it comes with 2 quick release things one is just standurd and the other one is taller and full adjustable.
hey man nice vid, did you have the waterproof rear cover on for this or the one with the openings, I'm gonna be testing mine out this weekend and I wanted to get the sound right. Thanks
@Sikeman214 Place the M3 Sticky Thing on your Camera and put one small mountain plate on it... The same on your helmet and you can use GoPro Mounts for every cam
My helmet has somewhat of a matte finish rather than a gloss finish like yours. Do you think this will negatively affect the adhesion of the mounts?
