Best Ways to Mount a GoPro on a Motorcycle Helmet

There are many ways to mount a GoPro to your motorcycle helmet, offering different angles. Unfortunately, many motorcycle helmet mounts do not provide a quality point of view of what the rider sees as they ride.

Top Helmet Mounts and Side Helmet Mounts

Mounting a GoPro to the top or side of a motorcycle helmet creates a lot of drag. Think about it: Your motorcycle helmet is designed to be aerodynamic. Putting a big, bulky mount that weighs a lot on the side of your helmet will only give you massive neck muscles. If having a strong neck is your goal, hitting the gym is easier.

Not to mention, mounting your GoPro on the top or side exposes it to branches and other obstacles on country roads and trails. Suppose it's on the side, and you fall on that side of your helmet. In that case, a heavy impact will likely permanently damage the camera. 

This underscores the importance of protecting your investment. Choose an action camera specifically for motorcycle use. The best ones are rugged and can withstand significant wear and tear.

Another typical mounting setup is...

The Bracket Mount: 

Bracket mounts are another common way to mount a GoPro to your motorcycle helmet. However, bracket mounts need to be fixed. First, they're heavy—look at all those pieces linked together to support your GoPro. Second, they block your chin vents entirely. Imagine riding on a hot summer day without airflow from your chin vents. It doesn't sound like much fun to me. 

And last but not least…

The Chin Mount:

The Chin Mount, our versatile solution, is the best way to mount a GoPro to a motorcycle helmet. Our Chin Mounts are specifically designed to allow your chin vent to open & close fully and your visor to open & close fully while the camera is mounted. This adaptability ensures a comfortable and unobstructed riding experience. Chin Mounts provide the best angle for an actual point of view, a clean, clear, and steady recording of every ride. The footage is truly representative of your riding experience. Unlike top-mounted or side-mounted GoPros, the Chin Mount provides a clear view of what you, the rider, see. The Chin Mount delivers an immersive experience for the viewer, making it feel like they are behind the motorcycle. Because of this, Chin Mounts are perfect for creating a motovlog helmet setup.
