How to securely attach a GoPro to your motorcycle's chin bar

Are you tired of shaky, low-quality footage from your adventures on two wheels? A GoPro attached to the chin of your helmet can help you capture smooth and stable footage of your rides. In this post, we'll show you the best ways to attach a GoPro to your motorcycle or mountain bike helmet's chin bar.

First, let's discuss the benefits of attaching a GoPro to the chin of your helmet. A chin mount allows you to capture footage from a lower, more dynamic angle than a side or top helmet-mounted GoPro. This can add more excitement and intensity to your footage. It can also help reduce the strain on your neck caused by wind drag compared to a side or top-mounted GoPro.

Now, let's get into the best way you can attach your GoPro to a chin bar.

Using a chin mount specifically designed for your helmet is by far the best way to mount a GoPro, Insta360, DJI Osmo, or other action camera to your helmet. Our helmet-specific chin mounts use a sturdy 3M VHB adhesive to attach securely to the chin area of your helmet. Take a look at our detailed instructions for how to install a chin mount on your helmet. 

A helmet-specific chin mount is better than a universal one because it is designed to fit and attach securely to your specific helmet model. This ensures a stable and safe mounting for your GoPro, Insta360, DJI, or other action camera which is important for capturing smooth and high-quality footage. In contrast, a universal chin mount may not fit as securely and may not provide as much flexibility in terms of placement. Overall, a helmet-specific chin mount is the best choice for ensuring a safe and effective attachment of your GoPro to your helmet's chin bar.

No matter which mounting option you choose, make sure to test it out and adjust the placement of your GoPro with our Action Pack before hitting the road or trail. A well-placed GoPro on your chin bar can add a new level of excitement to your footage and make your adventures even more thrilling to watch. 

In conclusion, attaching a GoPro to your chin bar is a great way to improve the quality of your action footage. Whether you're on a motorcycle or mountain bike, there are various mounting options available to securely attach your GoPro to your chin bar. Happy filming!
