Helmet cam on flip front helmet?

Helmet cam set ups seem easy to accomplish with a standard motorcycle helmet- mount on side, top or chin guard.

My Shoei GT-Air is a different matter. Can't mount on top as that's where the face shield swings to.

Can't do a chinguard mount if a microphone is being used (as I want to do) as wiring would be an issue when the front is flipped.


Seems to pretty much leave only the side of the helmet - but due to mechanism for flipping up front of helmet the camera would face out at about 45 degree rather than to the front.


Anyoen come up with a workable solution?

Here's what worked for me - Mines a Schuberth flip and GoPro mount - get no vibration and with sound on can narrate as I film.
I have a new HJC Flip and works the same.

GT Air... you must mean Neotec?
I've got a Drift Ghost X mounted on the RHS of my Neotec. Needs to be RHS as the drop down visor lever is on the left.
The camera needs a bit of tweaking to get the angle right, it has a rotatable lens to get the horizon level and the mount adjusts to get the horizon at the right height.
I don't use a mic, but someone else I know uses a remote mic tucked into the helmet liner - which is a bit of a faff.

@Globalrider thank you.

What cam do you use?

I have had a lot of HJCs and like them - when I bought the expensive Schuberth I was told they were the quietest - not so! And, that is the reason I went back to the HJC so happy now!

@Globalrider thank you.

I have three on my bike - two GoPros - Hero & Hero 2 and a Sony AS15. The Hero2 is on my helmet - Hero on the front of the bike in various locations and Sony mounted on the left pannier. I can reach back easily to turn on and off - all work really well and have the GoPro remotes strapped to the left handle bar/Mirror. I've produced 20 videos of our rides with about another 20 to do!! I have to retire at the end of this year to get back at it!! I usually arrive home with about 15GB on data to sort!
This Virus thingy has really put a dent in our forays as we usually spend most rides in the States but as the border is closed to 'essential' travel only, that's a miss! I wonder if we arrived at the border and said riding was essential to our mental well being!!!!
Let me know how you get on with your helmet cam location!
:hat:

Ive heard a lot of good things about HJC helmets, i went for a Shoei GTAir II this time, seemed to fit my noggin better than the HJCs the store had in stock.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Yes as they usually have a fighter pilot visor as well which helps if adjusted jut enough to take the sun out at the top of the helmet opening.
