    I’d put the chin strap of the helmet through the strap/lanyard on the mount. That way if the clamp ever let’s go, it will stay attached to your helmet. Extra security!
    Love the reviews! Keep up the great work.

    Just ordered this Mount for my GoPro black 9 that I’m getting Friday for my dirtbike. Looks like a really good Mount. I’m not wanting to put adhesive on my brand new O’Neal helmet. Looks like I made a good choice. Happy riding friend! Thanks for your input!

    Couple of things......
    1)Thanks for answering my question about the bikes in this video.
    2)Those gripper teeth you were talking about, they looked potentially harmful to helmet or bike panel finishes. Are they rubberized or hard plastic? Do you feel they would scratch up the finishes of surfaces?
    3)My intercom has the mic mounted to the inside of my helmet directly in front of my mouth. Will the clamp interfere?
    4)Does the clamp interfere with getting your head in or out of your helmet?
    As always great to see a riding video. Total agreement, this season has not been ideal between the weather and Covid. Hopefully there's still a few good days of riding left in the Ottawa area before we have to winterize.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  3 года назад +3

      Yes the teeth are rubber so can’t see it being a concern. In regards to mic placement I would say yes there may be an issue. I put my mic (s) around my cheek pad. For the most part seems to be the beat placement. And hopefully there will be a couple more weeks of riding. Would be nice to get out some more.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  3 года назад +3

      And I think interference would depend on how snug your helmet is. I had no problems.

    Yeah. Riding weather sucked this year. I only put 3 tanks of gas in the bike and it's been put away for a week now.
    That is a pretty flexible camera mount. If you are blogging it would be ideal in a mutli-helmet scenario.
    The Amazon US link takes me to Amazon Canada. But even purchasing from the UK site would save money over Canada pricing.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  3 года назад +2

      Yeah that’s the big thing for me. Being able to quickly move the mount between helmets. And having nothing permanently attached. Big win. I’m not sure why the Canadian site is so expensive.

    Can you attach this to the side of the helmet? One thing I noticed is that you have a high windscreen as do I. The image quality through the windscreen was not the best. Mounting on the side of the helmet,(if possible) would provide a better view to get around the windscreen. Thanks, Nice review!

    I just ordered this. Been having a hell of a time mounting to the chin of my Shoei RF1400. I know they make sticky mounts that contour to the chin of my helmet but when I saw this I was sold. This means I can totally remove my entire vlogging setup and have a clean helmet to ride with. My only concern is damaging the inside of the helmet with those teeth on the back part of this mount. Will those damage my helmet?

  • @r12rtpilot
    @r12rtpilot 3 года назад +1

    Great video, unfortunately the clip will not fit over the chin curtain easily on my Shoei NeoTec 2 helmet. I guess I will have to take the curtain out, or open the Dango to max, and just crush the curtain....any thoughts??

  • @palmtrees89
    @palmtrees89 3 года назад

    I own the first mount you had on your helmet there. The straps don't hold it in place well enough, and I had to put 2 sided padded tape in between to secure it to the helmet more. And now the gopro's are getting slightly bigger and heavier making it more out of date solution. I'm looking at the Dango Design as the next step up. Thanks for the review. This is helpful.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  3 года назад

      Yeah I had 2 of the cheap ones. The Dango is such a great mount. And so easy to move between helmets or just clamp to things. Great design.

      Its $49US which converts to $59CAN. The Amazon Canada store wants $110. So the conversion does NOT make sense. And even paying for the additional shipping from Amazon US. It would come to $89 Canadian. So you would be saving $20 by ordering from the US versus ordering from Amazon.ca
