See my YouTune video I just posted today. It may help explain and answer the questions you asked of me. Thanks for your reply. The prototype I put in my clip today was a direct build from many of the ideas and thoughts that I have gathered from other's projects such as your's. I am always modifying my mounts, so any idea at all often helps in the process. The clip from me is located in my 1930 Ford posts as DIY Helmet Spinner Mod For My GoPro Camera. Again, thanks for your clip here and reply.
hi...thanks for sharing your design. Could you use (2) two GoPro Ride Heros..one for the camera and one for the helmet attachment and avoid building the block attachment? What do you think?
Thanks for posting this video, as I love the creativity and can easily use it as a guide in building my different version of this same style mount. One never knows what may work and what may fail. The counter balance weights will be on mine, as well as a bolt added into the main housing to adjust the speed of the swivel as the camera swings about my head.
I am currently working on making a DIY spinner helmet mount which uses a hard drive spindle to anchor it to the helmet. Although it will be slightly different on the basic mounting design, the concept is exactly the same as shown in this video. I may try to use 3M Dual Lock tape to anchor it to the helmet, as, if you ever get pitched with the helmet and mount on, you do want it to break free as easy as possible and not do something weird to your neck. I like tethers, but not sure on this mount
There are some ways to cut down the weight of this mod. Instead of the aluminum extrusion pieces, just drill and tap a 1/4" set screw and add a GoPro tripod mount at the attaching part to the helmet. On the end of the aluminum round bar, drill a hole and insert a 1/4" bolt for mounting the camera. It will eliminate the bicycle or handlebar mount being used & reduce weight. The wood pieces could be fabricated in aluminum to reduce weight, Nice video to explain the basic spinner mount concept by.
@a1930ford Thank you for the great ideas! an i appriciate your input. Im planning on making a new more refined design now that ive goten better with metal working and building.
@a1930ford I a trying to make one of these as well. In my lack of machine skills, I failed to understand your instructions. like: Drill and tap a 1/4 inch set screw into what exactly? How would a tripod mount attach to the rounded adhesive helmet piece int he video. Also, the second part where does the bolt go, and how do you put the camera into the bolt without the handlebar mount? I know it may seem simple, but your help would be appreciated.
Aluminum extrustion is perhaps the word you were looking for, when speaking of aluminum flat metal for brackets you made. Nice set up and gives some ideas. Take a look at a product called boomstick 360 at YouTube. It is a costly piece of equipment for a novice, but your design applied to something like it should be interesting. Believe me, if the boom is ever ripped off and tether is ever used, you won't like the jolt feeling you will likely have, but that at least hopefully saves the camera.
@traditionaltripper actually what i did was tied a wire to the back of my helmet and tied the wire around the back of the pole to balance it out so now its just downward pressure
cool mount man, i like it a lot! does the weight of the camera being out that far ever cause it to slip where the homemade part meets the stock gopro mount?
@bigfatbackpacker actually no, the home made mount tightens VERY tight haha but it is heavy so i would were a tight helmet or somthing to keep your helmet from getting pulled down.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
