Mounting Your GoPro So You Don't Look Like a Spaceman
Mounting Your GoPro So You Don't Look Like a Spaceman
By Brian Dally If you want to mount your camera in a way that makes you look like a human and not an extraterrestrial, then check out these options. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...6bd8c55d75.jpg |
Looks like he is on a KTM, Sa WEET...….

I've used the chest strap mount, more stable than a helmet mount and I like the view better. Knee strap works pretty good sometimes, depends somewhat on the bike, full fairing, not so good. Hand held by a sidecar rider works pretty good, as long as he isn't a 5 year old grandkid... :icon_goofygrin:

I use the chin mount almost exclusively now. I agree it gives the best POV. Although, I have mounted my GoPro almost everywhere it can be mounted, including the rear fender pointed behind the bike. It's a perspective you don't see very often.

Is your life that exciting? I've rode a few famous roads, and just don't care.
Someone gave me one, I was thinking maybe put on dog. |

I am not kidding. GF thought it would be cool to see where the dogs go. But I think it would get smashed off.
I also think this is a tangent to the people taking pictures of their meals. |

My riding isn't very interesting most of the time, but I would like to mount a inexpensive dash cam or other camera on my mc's simply in the event something interesting does happen. I've had a dash cam in my car for a few years now, and there's been an occasion where it was beneficial to someone. A dash cam video was very beneficial to a relative of mine who got one before I did, as it saved him from serious legal trouble and expense, even when he wasn't moving. Not all incidents on dash cameras are accidents, and sometimes it's better to have video and or audio instead of it merely being your word against something elses. |
I would think ypu would want it on bike. I just cant imagine hanging off me all the time. Worrying about setting helmet down, and storing.
I realize lots do it. But I would want to forget about it. Just go back for footage when interesting. I do see this as part of our society I am so important I have to take pic of food and talk on phone in public. I have done rides most here haven't. Lots of pics. But I don't want to watch every minute. I want the important stuff at the right time and angle |
