Helmet cam on flip front helmet?

[GSXKING]

That would get you a fine in Queensland

GSX, dont use camera but why a fine? Would drive me crazy having that camera on side of helmet.

@grog Joe Public can't have anything protruding from the helmet. However Nazi's OOOPPPPSS Queensland Police Traffic branch are allowed them. WTF 

[grog]

Thanks Mate, didnt know that. Sure see a lot breaking the law then.

No helmet manufacturer recommend gluing cameras to their helmets.

Not even any type of stickers here, i cheat and have GSX1400 on all mine. If i get booked for that, will take his photo to remind me he has a bloody sad life.

Stan have you got a pic of your gopro fitted to you r h4elmet please?


Eric - I got one too and I find it really noisy! You?

Compated to the Shark its quiet as, i use earplugs all the time, so not too worried about noise, comfort for me is more important.  The GT has the fighter pilot style visor too, i love it so i dont need to wear sunglasses anymore.  Out of all that i tried (HJC, Arai, nolan, shark, etc), the Shoei had the best optical clarity in the visors and the mechanism seemed most robust.  Best feature is the aerodynamics, i used to get a really sore neck from the buffetting side to side.

I seem to recall the camera stuck on the ski helmet was blamed for Schumacher's brain injury as it acted as a hard point to cause penetration of the helmet shell.

Fark it just lost a  huge post.

In summary I said:

I don't think there is ANY evidence that a camera will cause additional injury - a helmet is designed for impacts after all.

I don't know ANYONE in QLD who has been fined for wearing a helmet cam, and as grog says there are plenty of them.

Looks like the testing says 'maybe, but probably not', I hadn't kept up with the story.

I've been going through my collection of gopro mounts and bits and pieces and haven't managed to come up with anything workable yet.... :(

Large nail & some 'no more nails'?

[grog]

Vlad, what about a handlebar mount, do they do same job?
