GoPro Helmet Hero Wide Mounted on Snowboard

My new GoPRo Helmet Hero Wide. I mounted it to the nose of my board facing me while I ride. Good angle except I was lazy an mounted it on top of a sticker on my board so when I dropped off a small lip it came off when it landed. Definatly a durable unit and a great camera for the price it was. Highly Recommended!!

Does the GoPro Hero wide not go 720p?

[christophlng]

@Guglielmo152 No it doesn't. Its only does standard def(480i i believe) It is defiantly worth the extra cash to get the HD which does 480i, 720p, 960p and 1080p)

What mount did you actually use for this video?

I ordered the hero 5 wide angle and I want to try this but not sure I can justify £30 on a suction mount :-/

[christophlng]

This one was the 3M mount that you're supposed to use for the helmet. Unless you mount it perfectly, i find they fall off in high impact and very cold days. I purchased the suction mount soon after this and it worked beautifully. Just get a leash as well to attach the camera to the binding or something just in case it decides to go for a ride like mine did! :)

how many mounts do you get in the original package? I cant really imagine how it works, can you mount one on your snowboard, glue it with some epoxy or something and then just clip the camera on?

[christophlng]

There's several mounts it comes with depending on the package you buy. I got the helmet package so I got the headstrap mount and then 4 mounts you can stick onto a helmet, dash or whatever and then clip the camera onto. They don't stick very well onto a board so I grabbed a suction cup mount for my board which has stuck on pretty good while riding. The parts are very reasonably priced so you can always grab what you need. I'm going to upload a vid showing all the different mount options.

very nice. cant wait to try it out..have you tried riding with the camera facing the other way? wondering if that looks cool too.

[BRDSVGE]

hahaha nice ending

[saritamx]

Did you put it on the curved surface of the board? or over the fLat one?

[higginside]

When you buy a gopro they come with adhesive mounts! There pretty strong and I havnt had one come off my snowboard or surfboard!

[RockerBinding]

I mounted my GoPro with screws directly on to the board.

It’s tears up the board a little bit but you don’t have to worry about it falling off.

Now get off pieste!

[allusernamestaken01]

a little bouncing and the video goes away? what a crap. at least now i know what NOT to buy.

[fluefox]

@christophlng -is that the car mount or surf mount? the car didn't stick well. i think its either the cold or the surface material of the board.
